Paul Mossberg made BIKES?    

My Sunday Morning Riding Group (all auld Pharts and Phart-etts) has a couple of Titanium "Seven" bikes, IIRC, made in Cambridge, Mass.?  Both polished metal and both beautiful.  Both are custom-sized frames (I think all 7's are, but not sure) and one, for Pat, who got new knees last year and is even shorter than me (He comes from the "Hobbit" side of Ireland) rides on 26" wheels.  It looks perfectly proportioned, just tiny. Pretty cool, really.  He keeps telling me I should "downsize, too.

Oh!  And I went to a dinner a few years back in honor of Bernard Hinault for his charity.  Bernard is a 5-time winner of the Tour de France before the Armstrong era.  

Five Time Winner......  

I expected some YUGE! guy with bulging arms and tree-like legs, but no......   Bernard Hinault, five time blah, blah, blah, blah......   Is almost exactly my height and build (read that, "not a big guy").  He signed one of my riding jerseys for me and, I swear to God....   His scribbly written signature is almost identical to my daughter's!
