Mike Schwering , who owned Georgetown Cycle Sport in Washington DC,
had a purple Paris-Sport road bicycle equipped with Campagnolo Nuovo
Record components that had been fully inlaid with Rhinestones on every
conceivable part and virtually every inch of the bike. He was trying
to sell it for the astonomical amount of $2500 then. Cheap by today's
standards. I wonder where that bike ended up?
