Not exactly received in the mail but, rather, hand delivered.

My dad has had a rough few years with multiple fractures and a run in with cancer. At 73 I think he thought he would be riding for years to come but he just can't take the risk with the fragile nature of his bones. He's already given me three bikes - a 60's Peugeot PL8, his Klein Comp Pulse and the Spectrum titanium. This past weekend he delivered quite a few of his nicer jerseys (he was big into Primal Wear stuff years ago) and some nice bib tights for winter riding. The kicker was the NOS set of Campagnolo Chorus (at least I'm pretty sure that's what they are) brake levers that he stumbled on in his basement. Another set is on my PX10 (were original to the Spectrum).



Just adding to it I got a visit from D.D. this weekend with a wheelset I can use for big climbs - check out the 14-32 6 spd ratio on these Mavic G40's.
