Careful with wine in the handlebar bag...I once rode home from Tradder Joes with 4 (or more) bottles in a handlebar basket. Darn near crashed before getting out of the parking lot...would have been a great same too! Angus On Sep 27, 5:11 pm, RoadieRyan wrote: > I was fortunate to get a ride in

I was fortunate to get a ride in on Saturday afternoon that included a stop at II Vecchio, gorgeous bikes. Jan thanks for organizing this, it was a real treat to see all those classy bikes in person. Ausgezeichnet! or perhaps more approriately très bon ! Your new book is now on my xmas list ;-)

Thanks to all for the photos. I have the books, but seeing them in a shop environment is very cool too. Marty On Sep 27, 2:02 am, rob markwardt wrote: > And a few more photos. > > http://www.flickr.com/photos/77502...@n00/sets/72157622338208975/ > > The light was pretty difficult, I'm a lousy p

And a few more photos. http://www.flickr.com/photos/77502...@n00/sets/72157622338208975/ The light was pretty difficult, I'm a lousy photographer, and I had an impatient 5 year old with me so the pics aren't the best but you can still see some of the beautiful bikes on display. It's hard to pic
