I don't know where that guy's comment came from. I suppose that he was thinking that because I said I was undecided about whether to ride it, and that I really don't know whether I can keep a museum piece, that automatically meant it's for sale.The part I never have quite gotten is this: Isn't everything rare, collectible and of historical interest chased after by the cogneseti relentlessly? Hell, I've PM'd offers on this board. I'm a bike collector!
Anyway, I 'm still hunting some information: Anybody know whether there's a Litespeed model, 91-93, that this bike would be equivalent to?
Thanks.

That's tempting...you know, if you were to accidentally scratch it (maybe under the seat stay), then you'd be obligated to ride it to make sure everything still works ok. Just a thought.

>>Calfee even went so far as to move their production from San Francisco to Reno where Lemond (senior) lived<<
I can't think of one reason that that could've been a bright idea. Maybe build a sub-production arm in Reno. But pick up from a place as nice as SF and end up stuck in Reno? Doesn't glue just melt in 130 degree heat?

Nope. I've fought the urge off pretty much entirely and it sits, over in the corner just exactly as I bought it. I can't say that I enjoy having a bike I can't ride, but I can't really bring myself to part with it either....
As for your other question, I guess it's fine and no worse for the wear

I caaaaaa nn nnn'''tttt!! Besides, I'm building up a Badger frame I bought and it's causing me all sorts of fun finding the proper this and that for it and I really, really want to ride that right now. So the urge stays successfully dormant for another safe while longer.

I also have a J-disc sew up rear wheel and a clincher Specialized three spoke carbon front wheel if interested.
Anybody looking for this?

I was also on the Colorado Velo Jr team that got a batch of the C-K red frames and at least two of them had severe build issues. But free is free.
RIP Dong and RIP Denver Spoke.
