[RBW] Re: Several things I saw at Blue Lug
I misread your description. Since one was in the cafe, I thought that was a separate bicycle, and the two belonging to a customer were in another shop.

[RBW] Re: Several things I saw at Blue Lug
Both custom frames still belong to a same owner (a BL customer), so they do not belong to Blue Lug. But BL staff told me that the frames, before coming to Blue Lug, have been hanging in the owner's house for many years, not ridden. So if I urge BL people to contact the owner and then BL urges the owner to sell the frames... maybe ???

Thanks for your post Takashi. Exciting bikes! The Frank Jones is gorgeous (lucky you Igor!) and I'm lusting after the Rivish Toei.
