Out in Public, we don't know each other....OK!
Woke to a voicemail the other day from a really nice chap. He was at Berkeley in '65 and wanted a 10 speed to ride to lectures. Nothing special, but something with a little style. His purchase followed him around for the next 58 years and now sits in his garage needing some love. Not wanting to throw away an old friend he started searching for any info on his Italian stallion.
There wasn't much out there until my name appeared.
It is said the definition of Addiction is doing the same thing over again and expecting different results. This time it's going to be different, I won't let her get under my skin. She's going to have to accept class is something your born with, it's bred into you and can't be bought.
However unlike like a Huffy dressed up in Campy she was born with Valentine and her Gnutti hubs are quite desirable.
Ok I'll stop my senile rambling. Those that know me, sharpen your knives because she's on her way back to Berkeley and I will post pictures when she arrives.
THE RETURN OF THE GARLATTI.............................

That's the (or at least one) definition of insanity, not addiction.

Is it similar to this example from the 2018 Clunker Challenge 100?
I remember being more than a little jealous of this one when it came into the contest ...

i don't know how this new one one could possibly outdo your previous Garlatti tour de force.
