I saw some of these in a hardware/agricultural supply store not too long
ago.

Shopping for the bent again, I see.

Anyway, while you were checking out the latest in
3/4 inch hose clamps and zinc coated lag screws
with the other guys in cheap t-shirts and John Deere
baseball caps I was in shops like La Bicicletta and
Campione talking Campy Record and with Giuseppe
and Paul wearing my cotton team Cantina / Tollo cycling
cap and my nubuc -high NBS vulcanized sole Oakley
smoke amphibious breathable architecture sandals!

Now do you see the huge gulf between benters and
elite level roadies like Me?
