Thanks, Edwin. I shall do so. To all, a number of list members have sent me a private message notifying me of a red Toyo 58 Atlantis for sale in the Bay Area. I was pleased to see that at least some Toyo frames included the braze-ons that I associate with later Waterford frames. Thank you, again, for the alert. I'm going to hold on, for the time being, to the dream of a 59/650B.
