Marinoni

[ntb1001]

Here is a moving video about Marinoni's hour record attempt. The person in the video is Jocelyn Lovell who has since passed away.
This really hits me as I first met Jocelyn when I was only about 14 or 15 and he was the biggest superstar in the world to me then.

Great clip. I believe it is from the documentary about Marinoni "The Fire in the Frame", highly recommended. You can watch it on demand here:

Be warned, you will want to purchase a Marinoni bike and visit Italy after watching.

I think Mike M. was the last SCC president before the club folded in the mid 80's.

No...he left and started a different club before then. The club went on for a few years before the Donut Ride accident and lawsuit finished off the club.
