Tony,

That's a great score and takes me back to the early 2000's when I was
living in Cambridge / Somerville -- Mike's work was hugely influential
on me in my nascent bike-nerd years. This bike still epitomizes
everything a BOB-ish townie should be. I'm still searching for this
white whale!

Another important dude from that time was a mechanic(?) at the
Broadway Bicycle Schoo, "Smasher" who preached the wonders of
rebuilding the old Raleigh 3-speeds which littered the curbs of Boston
every trash day. Anyone remember his web pages?
