I was adamant that Athena would be fine, but nooooo...

You do know that that type steel + the CF used in SR combine to set up a rare form of galvanic corrosion that is sure to result in failure after a year or so? :eek:

if you wanted black you could have gone with an early Simplex plastic rear derailer

I'm glad someone here was kind enough to point this out. I'm sure you'll be happy to take this off my hands to dispose of safely?

He went to the Sacramento NAHBS I believe. His booth was a thing of majesty if the photos are any guide. Just some frames sitting on a folding table.

Sounds appropriate for a Master.

It's Campy, so I don't think it's worth that much, but because I'm a nice guy and willing to help, I would be willing to test the group on one of the frames I have in invetory. ;)

Roland was at Austin, a few years ago…sitting very quietly in his booth from what I remember! I was ogling the Ossobuco and not sure I even spoke to him.

Exactly the scene in Austin as well.

The bikes speak for themselves though.

Roland is truly the real deal. Never has a builder more steeped in history and true credibility has promoted himself less.

Super Record. Black 'n' Blue. Hit me baby one more time. :hello:
