...I think this might be more mileage on a Garlatti, than anyone has previously managed to record. I laughed, I cried...it was better than Cats !

That's a sound method, but how do you ensure parallel alignment? Equal jumps per side?

I’m surprised you don’t know about the string method: You wrap equal length of string around each ankle.

See? Now that kind of quality is how you justify 400 big ones.

-Kurt
Kurt, might want to grease up that chain before you go round askin for 400 big ones. Jes sayin.

You’re already typing up the auction ad copy, aren’t you? smh

I thought the string was to wrap around the verbal orifices of certain individuals involved in Garlatti paint removal techniques. You know, so they don't inhale the fumes.

Grease the chain for $400? What kind of fire sale do you think I'm holding here? I charge at least $500 when I go through that amount of effort.

What the blue blazes do you want me to do for that price? Rotate the bottom bracket bearing cages the right way?

Next thing I know, you'll be asking me to clean AND re-grease the BB. Sheesh, the nerve of some people.

They ran into Ernesto, because Jan Heine had him hogtied and was berating him for lack of a 650b offering with lightweight () 48mm tires in the racing catalog.
