"The Custom Bicycle" from 1979

[SpokeValley]

I was just reading a blog about Bruce Gordon and there was a link to the entire book, "The Custom Bicycle" by Michael J. Kolin and Denise M. de la Rosa.

Thought I'd share this blast from the past:

Enjoy, all.

"Lucille and Wanda have
been brazing Paramounts for more than 25 years and they do an
extraordinary job"

I may be wrong, but I'm not sure I'd read into it. They were good at what they did.
