    No kidding? Its been a while, but I've run into Mike a couple of times. BTW - I was just selling a guy here in the office on a Hampston tour. Literally. Just 3 hours ago stood outside my office telling him about it. PM me a link or some info that I can send his way.

    Anyway, there it is. Hope everyone is doing well.

    I'm NOT in the industry, but sure am impressed by the members of this board! As Brendan said, the "linked-in" of the cycling world.:adore:

    +1 on the Stripes reference, too, Brendan - a classic scene from that film!

    True story--without my Rocket 7's I would not be riding a bike today.
