I'm posting this response I just got from Rex, who I haven't thought about in 20 odd years. This is why these lists are so cool. And Rex, yes I remember the Sour Dough.
Best,
Dave

Dave,
It's great to see these pictures, especially the one of you and John Frey. I actually lived in ABQ from '89-'92 and used to come to your shop on a pretty regular basis, and speak with you quite bit about bike building (had/have many connections with bike industry and knew most of '84 Olympic team)-and I believe I brought you some sourdough bread one time from SF (the trivia I remember). Rode often with John (as did everyone on the rides out of the University) and saw him set the national 25 mile TT record on I believe a fixed 110" gear (oh man was Bostick pissed that day). He and I used to talk fixie as I often road a fixed gear for the early season (hold-over from my CA days). Went from ABQ to Boston and now in DC (yeah, government job). In any case, thanks again for the pictures and memories!

I am starting to slowly add some scans of some old bikes to my blog, mostly for my entertainment. Click on the blog link below to see some of my children.
