Dear Fellow Enthusiasts,

The recent Hetchins Mixte outed was purportedly purchased thru Spence Wolfe and his Cupertino Bike Shop. After some research, it appears that Spence Wolfe bikes often had custom identifying touches such as:

Modified Campy rear derailleur with Simplex cage for touring

F&R tied and soldered spokes

No downtube graphics

Handle (drop?) bars drilled for bar-end shifter cables

Mafac c-pulls with Weinmann or other? levers

Can anyone add to this list of identifiers and/or confirm whether Spence Wolfe build or sales records from the 60's-70's might be available?
