Dave pal and I have taken friendly jabs at each other in the past, all in good humor but we have never met in person although I have always pictured him as looking like someone in this photo -- Tall, handsome, strong, can squash me with his pinky, and looking good even at the age of 101. Also, I have heard in good authority from my trusted sources that he has reserved the Presidential Suite exclusively to await my visit to his new residence in Baja Cali.:banana:


Full disclosure: the gentleman in that photo is Phil Callow. I don't know Mr. Callow personally, but his custom Bottecchia featured on Pez has certainly caught my attention. :p

Judging from the saddle-bar drop Mr. Callow must also teach yoga in his spare time. My back's crying just looking at that.

Dude is British and 63 years old and looks like a 40 year old Tony Bag O Donuts from Long Island.

This guys gets THE diversity award.

Is there any part on that bike without a logo?

Spokes. Could be silkscreened. Shameful oversight, I agree.

He'd look 35 with a 53/39 ;)

Sorry, not for me.

And why are there three posts about this dude and/or his bike?

Ok ok, I was waiting for Dave pal to chime in and clear this up... BUT since my reputation is on the line... This is nuthin' more than an inside joke that Dave and I had for years.... that's all. :D

Oh oh.. and about that picture that gets used in multiple threads... Personally, I believe in recycling... a good picture is worth re-posting, won't you agree?:p

It could be! At least the 'stash is right.

The only thing Wei-pal got wrong in his post was my age. I'm just a little younger than he states.
