A little OT but still concerning Cyclops.
News of Mike's Passing

A little more info via "bicyclebits" on Bikeforums.net "
Mike traditionally re-painted other brands with Cyclops colours when owners wanted quick turnaround and a low price. Remember, these bikes were tools for racing not wall art. He stickered several frames that I saw with a Painted By Cyclops sticker on the non-drive side of the top tube by the seatcluster. There was no intent to decieve, just an honest paint job at a fair price. Mike also did restorations that were superb but those often entailed long waits for decals from overseas and racers needed their bikes and simply wouldn't wait and didn't much care what name was on the bike. Mike was proud of the paint they put on the Cyclops framesets but did complain to me once about the tendency of the decals to not fully "snuggle" down under the clearcoat"

A double stay version
"I think I gave that frame to Ken Cools and he must have brought it down there to New Zealand... Funny though! The story of the frame is this... A Canadian ex racer turned frame builder by the name of Mike Mulholland was Cyclops Bicycles. That frame finished fourth in the Kilo at a World Cup, was raced at a World Championships, Pan Am Games, and won Canadian Nationals twice. It was a nice, strong frame, but was always short on me. Good luck selling it, I hope it gets many years of use still! Mike would've liked that it was still being used.
