Man that sucks.Last time I saw demos was at his house he threw a DRP get together. He looked totally fine.Never told me that he had on going health issues. To end the party on a good note.I came to the party with the one and only DRP frame. To see the look on DEMOS' face was like a little kid in a candy shop that was told he could have anything he wants for free. It sported a set of 185 TA cranks a 47 tooth sprocket, campagnolo euro BB and a set of Nickle plated cook brothers forks with an omas headset. Witness' to verify and were amazed on site were the davidow brothers dennys wife and a bunch of other individuals I can't remember off hand That raced for the team. Rinker and dave marietti at the time did not show because their father had just passed away also. Another individual who still have their frame in nice condition were Kurt and he sports the number #0 . DD rest in peace .
