Title: I hope that was you Rick
Post by: Bob Gurkin on April 05, 2011, 03:30:51 PM: That 1948 Simplex Manual is the same one we butted heads over on Ebay :) If you are the one who got this one you saved a buncha money.

On another note, whoever ends up with Gary's literature, I wonder if they will continue to make reproductions available? He told me he had the only copies, that he knew of, of some servi-cycling magazines.

Glad you got a copy of the manual and it's too bad you missed this one. It went out for less than $50.

If anyone has any technical info I would be willing to scan it and and post it maybe we could start a technical reference section here on the forum.
