Thanks for responding, Puchultima. I have always been impressed by the craftsmanship and durability of the better Austrian frames. Three of us in San Diego County, two northern Californians, and a guy in Montana have formed a loosely-knit vintage Capo owners' club. (There are not too many of us here in the U.S., since the marque was imported for only a few years around 1960.) I have also exchanged emails and photos with Werner, a Vienna-based gentleman who has owned several vintage Capos and who had a couple of photos of Adolph Christian riding a Capo in the 1958 Tour de France.
I have emailed with Harald "Hary Capo" Cap about marketing his computer-designed racing frames at few of the high-end shops in southern California; I hope he decides to pursue this.
