Thanks for the link. Did JB say anything about the Riv? Must be a custom, as I do not recall seeing that fork crown on any recent Rivs anyway. > Everyone had fine machines that anyone could happily ride. As it happens, I was talking to Bruce Gordon last week and he told me about the carbon tube Rando - of which he was rightly proud. He said he did not think anyone would be willing to pay value for the bike, so he expected it will become his new bike. Turned out real well. Finally, I agree the Colnago was nice. One must be mindful the Nagos, De Rosas, and Masis were of a different era where money went farther allowing the artisans and their apprentices to lavish time on those bikes. There are builders today who could produce similar results if they had 20 hours to spend filing the tip of a lug to perfection. But not many people are going to pay them 5 figures for the fruit of their labor. On Apr 9, 9:26 pm, James Valiensi <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > Maybe it was the Joe Bell paint job.
