Do you think that a bias adjustment will solve my Sansui 5000's overheating problem?

So, I saw bikedudes "I built a fixie thread" and remembered the De Rosa frame I packed away a few years ago. So far I've got most of the Brazed on tid-bits ground pretty smooth. I had to change out the Dropout...boy this getting to be a mess!
Anyway....this is the look I'm going for.

But cutting the headbadges off a frame and selling them separately is just low.
Humanity's entire raisin d'etre is to a) be happy and b) make order of the chaos.
But what kind of monster take a) in subverting b)?
There's more to life than making money.
After the fixie-hipster dork fad has died out and he/she sells it on the internet, every buyer ever after will forever long for the headbadge which you sold for some pathetic amount.
I used to think I was a monster for putting brifters on '86 Schwinn Pelotons, but you!

Why can't I buy a 700x28-32 presta tube that has a valve stem shorter than 48mm anywhere within 50 miles of my house? It's not like I'm living in the boonies here either.
Why do they even make tubes like that? I mean really, who has a bike with tires that wide and aero-section rims that would even need a valve stem that long? Goofy crap! I'm all in favor of supporting my LBS, but give me a break! I'd buy half a dozen, even at LBS prices, if I could find some with good ole 32mm valves. Nashbar? Same deal. Instead, I have to scour the internet for what should be one of the most common bicycle tubes on the planet. Anybody else have this problem?

You bet I do! Thats why I stopped buying General Motors and decided to stick with Fords....'course I'l like to stick with Porsche or Volvo but my pockets are not that deep.
I went and saw this guy instead of working on my Peugeot last night.
