Maybe if I zoom in on the photo enough, I'll be able to make out his number........ That Holdsworth is a smart looking machine! _________________ Kind Regards, Wisey Delta Dreamin' Holdsworth   Posted: Thu Jul 16, 2009 3:18 am verktyg Joined: 14 Jan 2007 Posts: 2814 Location: SF Bay Area Thanks Wisey, it was my birthday gift to myself. It's a 1984 Reynolds 753 frame that I got from the UK. I bought it because I thought it would have a nice cushy ride, maybe like a Hetchins. It's a full on racing bike. It's climbs like nothing else I've ridden and handles curves on the descent like it's on rails. The bike's a little twitchy on the flats and stiff as a board. It weighs about 19 Lbs. with tubies. BTW, Johan's yelling "ATTACK! ATTACK!" and I'm telling him "I can't hear you, I have a bad connection!"

For all of those as confused as I was when I read Wisey's post, Leipheimer fell 3 K from the line yesterday. It didn't look so bad at the time, but apparently he broke his wrist, and is out of the tour. A big blow to Armstrong for sure. _________________ Stephan Andranian Costa Mesa, CA www.gitaneusa.com   Posted: Fri Jul 17, 2009 6:27 am scozim Joined: 26 Sep 2008 Posts: 629 Location: Ellensburg, WA Man, that's too bad. _________________ 1984 Gitane Sprint 1984 Gitane Tour de France mid-1970's Gitane Olympic Plus many more http://eburgcycling.blogspot.com Spanish & Italian riders   Posted: Fri Jul 17, 2009 8:16 am verktyg Joined: 14 Jan 2007 Posts: 2814 Location: SF Bay Area Stephan, I'm starting to agree with you more and more about Spanish and Italian riders.

I think I may dedicate a page to your pictures.... Did you see the post regarding the proper wheel size for an interclub or something similar? I figured you would be the best person to answer the guy's question. It is in the "vintage" folder. http://www.gitaneusa.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1070 _________________ Stephan Andranian Costa Mesa, CA www.gitaneusa.com   Posted: Sat Jul 18, 2009 9:07 am scozim Joined: 26 Sep 2008 Posts: 629 Location: Ellensburg, WA Way to go George!
