Oh those conversations with Mike Rich. He'll drop comments like "if we
working on a triumph, I could use Ferrari valve guides and vice versa" He,of
course having worked on both and interchanged parts. Always a good time.
Ken, do you think you'll be heading north to see Mike? If so, let us know.

Add the following to the list. Eldo or Ambo rods- Good shape, no bearings. King & Queen seat for a Tonti frame- This came with my SP I bought several years ago. Pan & foam is in good shape & the cover is in very usable shape for a rider but would need recovering if your putting it on a nice looking bike. Sticker on the pan says "Hang 5" or something like that. Set of saddle bags that came with the 850-GT project. I don't know who made these, Bates maybe. They are the typical rounded period type saddle bags that you see often on Ambassador's & Eldorado's. The thing that make these unusual is that they are smaller in size & use a different bracket than the ones I have seen before. The left mounting bracket is intact, the right bracket looks like it broke on a trip & a very jack leg brace was made to make it home. I would think you could use the left bracket as a pattern to repair the right hand one. They need painting but are in very solid condition. I don't really want to sell a couple of these items but after several conversations with Mike Rich I have become obsessed with making the Loopframe racebike as strong & reliable as I can.
