Yes. We had a lot of interesting people and bikes go through there. I remember a lunchtime ride where we were comparing the ride characteristics of various aluminum bikes: Cannondale, Vitus, Klein,and the then-new Trek 2000. Gary Klein lent us his personal bike for that.
And the factory tours for e.g. Yoshi Shimano, and another for the Ultima consortium represented by Valentino Campagnolo and Antonio Columbo?
The 720 I built up for Frank Berto, and the Gitane "Team Replica" I built for Dustin Hoffman for a movie about the Tour de France that apparently never got finished... good times...
