So sorry to hear about Ron's passing. As promised earlier in the thread I scanned a slide of a photo I took of Ron outside his Honor Oak Park shop in May of 1982--I was 25 and Ron was about 50. I cannot seem to find the ones I took inside his shop. I do remember metal filings everywhere on the floor and somewhat of an organized haphazardness to the place. This photo is him convincing me that the blue sparkle paint was the way to go for my new frame--think he really liked that color. http://www.flickr.com/photos/garykli...7625106785526/ --for shots of my bike.
