I also see a set of NOS Saavedra tubular rims on eBay right now.
Did Mike Fraysse own Paris Sport? That was located in New Jersey, right? The NE connection to Saavedra makes sense. I picked up my Roger competition (designed by Saavedra) locally in Des Moines but the seller picked up the bike in the greater New York city area.
