Didn't make it to Cirque, but I'll be at Larz this weekend. The official schedule seems to all be on Sunday. Any unofficial gatherings on Friday and Saturday? I'll be flying up to Boston tomorrow, Thursday.

\r?\n> Hi Sonny,
\r?\n> Nice looker... On our So Cal vintage ride this last week, I
\r?\n> brought out my Pro Strada - and was reminded now nice it
\r?\n> rides.
\r?\n> Mike Howard was on the ride, and I asked him about the
\r?\n> Medici serial number database question. He didn't
\r?\n> think there exists a true 'database' of the various
\r?\n> Medici models that were built. The syntax is of the
\r?\n> numbering (i think) is logical and intuitive: You own
\r?\n> a 55cm frame, and it was the 2,615th frame made (or...
\r?\n> STAMPED !!).
\r?\n>
\r?\n> Mine has the 61 0387 - so it's a big 61cm,
\r?\n> pretty early one. Pic at:
