of which my brother is king.....

after looking at a couple of old English 3 speeds on ebay, he found these guys...I haven't examined it for hours yet...:p Harris guys told him about it.

but then at Metonomy in Cambridge MA, he found an actual 1945 roadster...the guy really knows what he wants....!!!

I also discovered that our cousin works @ Harris in the summers...!!

hmmmmm - this place seems a lot more reputable.... (that web site for yellow jersey is plain awful)

these guys used to carry a really cool replica of an English single speed that was dirt cheap (seem to remember $200), but its gone :(

still the 1891 New Mail is very cool
