Had a good christmas. ODI Grips and tank from my brother Pete, NOS ACS wheels from Perry Krame, GT Freestyle frame and B1B grips from Johnny Johnson )Johnny used to own Rancho and other San diego tracks back in the day)

The stuff is great but   Hanging out with these guys over the last few days was even better.

Thanks!

Well, back in the day we wanted to be Roger Decoster etc so we put fake tanks and fenders on our bikes.
A bit silly now perhaps, but cool back then.

Here is an old Bikette (72?) Catalog showing a different tank.  This was Mike Devitt's old company, as you guys know Devitt went on to other companies such as SE and not long ago, Alliant Bikes.
