1983 Steve Potts Brazed MTB [finished]

And then one other tidbit. Back in this post http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewto ... 3#p1413273 I mentioned the prior/original owner but was a little vague.

That person is George Newman.

George was a key member of the Larkspur Canyon Gang: http://www.mtnbikehalloffame.com/page.c ... mberid=203

George factored in many of the early Repack races, winning race #5 on November 20, 1976 over Breeze, Fisher and Guy:

All of George's Repack race action was on "bomber" (Schwinn) bikes and not this Potts -- which he acquired some years later. Here's a fantastic pic of George at speed on Repack:

Both the results scan and photo above are from Charlie Kelly (and his terrific website): http://www.sonic.net/~ckelly/Seekay/
