** – With receipt of the original purchaser’s list it appears that McCormick really had #0036. (See Old Database link on the header – there never was a serial # 001 as the serial #s started with 011.)
Per Roberts: “The B&W photo is also Robby’s bike, and was used in an article about the trip in 80 Micro. Those were his rack bag and panniers, so it was probably just after (or maybe even during) that fateful first ride when I was bitten by the bug of recumbency.”
