Neat. Must have felt a bit like a pilgrimage.

Adding to the collection of Pegs? :)

Those are sweet. Kind of like the old chrome Paramounts. I want one. Any additional information about them? Are they simply Luiginos that have been chromed?

great pics - nice report on a fine trip.
I had the pleasure of shaking Dario's hand at NAHBS - what a treat.

The lugs are different on the two frame and the one in the foreground has rack eyelets...interesting.
