I don't have pictures, but received a whole bunch of goodies toward the end of last week: new oddball front cones for my Diamondback FG (I didn't even know 8mm axles were a thing until I noticed the cones were pitted and measured the axle), 122mm UN26 bottom bracket, Origin-8 North Road bars, and Kool-Stop Continental pads for my fiancee's Raleigh mixte build.

Peter Ustinov's 'Grand Prix du Rock' (AKA 'The Grand Prix of Gibralter') A cult classic, utterly hilarious. For years I've had a partially botched cassette recording, but with his recent death, this fabulous piece of nonsense was re-released. If Stirling Moss, Phil Hill, Enzo Ferrari, Jaguar, Mercedes, Renault, Morris are names that roll off your tongue, you are missing out if you don't have this recording.

In an interview long ago he told that he recorded that with a terrible head cold.
Reminds me of the occasional Cyclops articles written and illustrated by Stan Mott in the old Road & Track.

In one sitting, allegedly with no notes! Even more amazing is how he gets the personalities. I've a recording that includes an interview with Stirling Moss, and Ustinov totally nails him. Amazing.

OMG, the Cyclops - forgot about them. Quantities turned upside down, lashed together into a barge, and across the Atlantic we go!
