So sad! Tony was such a great guy. The first time I met Tony was in 1980. I was on crutches due to a recent cycling accident. He measured me up for a custom Ron Cooper frame which I still have and which I have always taken back to Tony for any work that I couldn't accomplish. Pretty much every time I've ridden through Sausalito I've stopped to chat with him and buy a few things from his shop; he has always made time for conversation. I actually tried to talk him into riding Touroica with us but of course his duty to the shop was always first and foremost. I am totally bummed.
