Palo Alto Catalogs
Found my original 78-79 and 80-81 catalogs. I am willing to scan them and send them to someone who can post them. I do not have a website or the knowledge of posting the complete catalog. They are in mint condition and have been with me since they mailed them to me [still has my old address]. Still can't find my 76-77 copy.

Mark Bulgier has a site that hosts catalog scans. He has the '76 Palo Alto catalog already ...

Thanks for doing this! I can't wait to see them. I spent hours with these "wish books" back then.

That's when I really caught the cycling bug back then...purchased a good deal of parts from them...

I have catalog scans (including one Palo Alto catalog already - the 1984 edition) at VeloBase.com. I'd love to get a copy of any additional catalogs you want to provide. PM coming your way with contact info.

Thanks to Butcher for sending me two fantastic Palo Alto catalogs on CD, which I have now resized, zipped up, and posted on VeloBase.com. In addition to the 1984 PDF catalog I had, he has supplied the 78-79 and 79-80 catalog.
You will need to sign up for a (free) account on VeloBase.com to download the catalog files. And a zip program (such as winzip, winrar, or the built in zip utility in windows XP) to open the file. I'm hoping to in the future have the catalog pages viewable on the site, but that is a project that is down on the TODO list for VeloBase at this time.
I do plan to pull much of the information that I can out of the catalog pages to update and add to the main Component listing as possible as time permits.
