Marco of Milan, Italy gives a thumbs up to the ride characteristics of his new Strawberry. Marco and his wife joined me at the UK Handmade Bicycle Show in April, 2014.

Gary and his son in law dropped by the other day and one beer and Sibilia led to another. We had a nice lunch on the Goose deck, toured the club and the Rose Garden and then returned to the shop where this photo was taken. Thanks to Dave for photography and to Gary to have purchased the Strawberry frame in 1985.

Mr. and Mrs. SILVA. We visited the SILVA factory in Milano and were cordially entertained. SILVA manufactures the highest quality framebuilding tools from bottom bracket taps to head tube mills and everything in between. Their production of handlebar tape is the best bar none. It was a pleasure meeting this couple and touring the SILVA facility this past summer of 2014.

1967 Hwy 1 NorCal from Leggett to the Pacific. Photo by Peter Stoel. Cyclist, yours truly on a Frejus road bike. Peter and I were sophomores at unversity and on a summer tour. We arrived in San Francisco for the Summer of Love. Golden Gate Park was the destination where the women, weed and song were plentiful. The Frejus was stolen next year back at school. Fond memories.

Strawberry tee shirt from the 1980's. Never to be reproduced as it did not pass muster with Mrs. Newlands.

When you are visiting Portland, be sure to call ahead and I will prepare a nice pasta with shrimp and chicken, some wine and everything will be alright. June 10, 2015 in the Strawberry/Torch and File lunchroom.

good night. Been brazing during the day. 10:15pm and time to turn out the light. Led Zep "the levee" last song heard tonight.
