"Hi Jaik, I am interested. I used to have a Colnago about the same year in red. Can you check the size? Would you accept $1500?
Thank you,
Steve"

For Sale: 1972 Colnago Super!

"Not to take away from the intent, but my wife has a terrible problem with guys shoaling her and cutting her off. The funny thing? We commute together. We ride to and from work together. When people cut her off, they don't do the same to me.…"
"I'm constatntly concerned that this guy is going to wave forward one of those vehicles exiting the expressway while I'm passing in front. I don't have a stop sign, they don't stop if traffic is backed up from the light. It's…"
"It'll probably be a combination of the lawyer lips & retaining clips(like these). They will also increase the cost to save for legal & recall fees. Parallel to those fixes will be a very lengthy warning, including something about…"
