[MDairheads] Mark Lipschitz... A Great Guy

[William Fleming]

Years ago, I sold Mark my R100RS. He was going to build a Ritmo Sereno
style bike, and wanted a good one to start with. I have sold a lot of bikes
over the years, but Mark was a bit different, took time to talk and hang
out. I had just moved to Maryland, and he is the one who put me on this
list. Didn't have to do any of that. I looked forward to seeing him at the
British European bike day when he could make it, in fact I am finishing a
R100S I wanted to show him this time around. Very sad news.
