Ryan -- You're welcome! I first "discovered" ToP at age 9 (ca. 1972) right after we'd moved to the Bay Area and they were just starting to get airplay on KFRC for their one and only single, "You're Still a Young Man". I rode my bike all over Walnut Creek -- Riv HQ is not far from the apartment building I lived in, now converted to cheesy condos -- and dreamed of growing up to become a funk musician. That led to a million years of school bands (and band geekdom), drum corps and twenty years of gigging in clubs and pit orchestras. How I got into bikes professionally is another story.
Off to the Oregon Handbuilt Bike Show this afternoon, to see what it looks like when you combine science, art and craft in one room. I'll take pix. (Riv content -- riding the All-Rounder there, clad in my lovely, rumpled MUSA shirt.) Beth On Oct 9, 5:28 pm, RoadieRyan <ryansub...@gmail.com> wrote: > Beth OMG!
