One thing I found out about these guys was that when you "bought them out". they had a lesser stash somewhere. This was certainly true of Gene, and Dave Furst whom I "bought out" at about the same time. He still had some stuff when I moved to California in 1977, and did some work for a friend of mine-an early proponent of Imron, which was flaking off as I helped him put his bike together. He didn't quite have it down.
