The Urago aside, the Fraysse family has been involved in cycling since the dawn of time. GF, F, Son, they have all raced and, more importantly held major positions both on local and national levels. Mike, I believe, takes riders to Cuba every year and with him he takes needed equipment for local riders. Mike owned Paris Sport in New Jersey where Cuevas, Dave Moulton, and Pepe Limongi got their starts. Anyway, I think he deserves some slack. Edward Albert Chappaqua, N.Y., U.S.A.
