Yeah, when I saw all those tubes it reminded me when I used to have 'sew-up' parties - except I was the only one attending! I'd gather four or five tubs and break out the little orange metal box containing all the little goodies; razor blade to cut the stitching, patches, cement, needle, thimble and the little card wrapped with waxed cord.... Ah, the good ole days! Yeah, right. As soon as clincher started getting really good I dumped those damn tubular and have never regretted it.
