ATTENTION ALL LIST MEMBERS!!!!!!!!:
Special EMERGENCY meeting of The BVVW!!!
WHY?
BECAUSE the GREATEST collector of cycling ephemera is finally answered my prayers and is coming to New York City just to show us some of the AMAZING stuff he has tracked down in the world of cycling! Well, O.K., he was coming to N.Y.C. anywayz. But he's gonna bring some FANTASTIC pieces. Among the special stuff this guys gotten his hands on are original jerseys worn by Fausto Coppi in the Giro, Bartali in the Giro, Merckx in The Tour,The Giro, The Worlds, The Vuelta, THE original watch used to time the Tour from 1903 to 1915 or so. WILD STUFF! I can't tell youse exactly what he's gonna bring, but it's gonna be GOOD! The BVVW group is comprised of about 25 hardcore certified freaks, who will hangout and talk bike stuff for about 2 hours.The BVVW is a tangent of Gruppo Sportivo Pergolizzi (wear your jerseys to the meeting please).
I, together with my assistant despot Mattie Bowne, have arraigned for this informal gathering of all N.Y. metro area cyclists who share an interest in vintage bicycles and cycling history. As always, youse is ALL invited. We will talk the old talk (1930 to 1980) of cycling, our heroes, and their bicycles and parts.
This SPECIAL meeting will take place on Thursday, January 29, 2009.
Meet at 5:30 p.m. for a 6:00 o'clock start.
The meeting will take place at:
John's Pizzeria 278 Bleeker St. in Greenwich Village, New York City!
Pizza is cooked the old fashioned way in a coal fired brick oven. We even seen da coal pile in da basement a while back while wait'n outside on line. Beer is Budweiser; she's is on tap, and cold! Yung Ling some times too! Ernesto and Joe the waiters take good care of us. As long as they gets their "tribute" afterwards.
Then (around 8:00 p.m.) we will head just east and across the street (still on Bleeker) to Rocco's for canolli and espresso and say "Hi" to Don Cicciu.
Please make every effort to come as this is a ONCE ONLY opportunity for those of youse that do not go to The Cirque to see some this special collection!
