I feel so violated, knowing that if I want to by something from them it has to be shipped BACK over here. However, during one inattentive viewing, I don't think I saw any A7 or A10 bikes or parts, but they must be there.

OK, now I took a very close look, stopping frequently to peruse the cameras shots. I know I'm not even close to being the most expert here in picking out tiny details on obscure parts, but, for all my looking, the only A7/10 part I THINK I saw was a bare red frame at 5:16 in. Of course there are a lot of bikes in the video that are up against the wall and impossible to see, but if what IS visible is any indication, the story is probably the same. The hoarders just loved them some A65's (and, maybe, A50's).

I have one more 48 LS A7 in my horde and quite a few other British waiting their turn and my 88 are still in North America!
