    I got both my bikes from GVH. GREAT company. Is it Tom who is your BF?

    (One of my bikes is in their Gallery: "Sarah's Merckx Team SC outfitted for the San Francisco Rando 600k brevet." )

    Yeah, Tom's my boyfriend.

    Now I have to go back and look at the photo gallery. That's very cool. What a small world.

    ETA: Cool bike Sarah!!

    Thanks! We got both my bikes when Gary was still there. My husband got one of his bikes there as well, and also his build kit for the bike he has now - I think he got that from Tom.

    I found it so ironic that my husband and I were coaching for the Leukemia society's TNT program for years on Gary's bikes, and then he died of leukemia.

    I wish my husband owned a bike shop...

    Ooohhhh.... Why do these things happen when I'm out'a job...

    I 've always loved the Cinelli frame. Classic DeRosa... Colnago too... but way too big for me. and both De Rosa and Colnago are out of my price range...

    Blueberry - I was thinking of snatching that one up myself. I've seen it in person and it is a beautiful frame.

    Maillotpois - Tom worked for Gary for a while then when Gary's leukemia came out of remission he came back to run the shop. Unfortunately, Gary didn't recover and Tom has been running the shop for his widow since then. Now it's time for him to buy it and move it. The widow is ready to move on and downsize her life.

    The sooner he can get rid of a bunch of frames, the sooner he moves here to be with me.
