Today, when I got home from my ride, I noticed a box of vintage bicycle parts sitting by the door of The Old Shed. No biggie, this sort of thing happens from time to time.

What I was not expecting was the surprise in the mail box...





A year, or two, ago, a friend gave me the price list to go with this book, telling me that he had lost the catalog. Looks like he found it.

Nice! I have a couple of catalogs from around 1989 from one of the Ron Kitching stores. To bad we can't order from it anymore.

not that you don't have enough to do, but...it would be great to scan the entire catalog and post that on Velobase.
Great for all of us, that is.
