Plucked this image from Classic Rendezvous. Rode with Straightblock a couple/few Eroica's ago. He was riding strongly on a cool early Nishiki Professional wearing a blue SunTour/Nishiki jersey like in the image attached. If you read this Straightblock are you in the pic?
Hardly, just some Cat 1-2 pack filler. My claim to fame is that I was beaten by some of the best riders of the late 1970s and early 1980s.
Not my first case of mistaken identity, though. My buddy and I had tickets to the velodrome races at the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles. We were having lunch at a fast food place near the track, and a guy in there kept staring at me. When he got ready to leave, he walked up to our table, looked me in the eye and said, "You're Alexi Grewal, aren't you?"

Craig,
You haven't changed a bit.
Best, Ben Straightblock
