If any of you are interested, Busy Bee on 6th between 1st and A has a gorgeous 62 Frejus hanging in the store (sold, unfortunately) with some fantastic 1" pitch cottered cranks, Fiammi red label rims, Campy hubs, antique Brooks Swallow (i believe). worth passing through just for a look-see at a true classic track bike

I saw that bike up close on a visit last week and it's so, so sick.
Anyone see the pink San Rensho up in the rafters there recently?
