Drew, I just found this thread.  Guess I won't be coming by about that pedal crank. 

And doing it by email is such a weasel way of doing it.

It was his, it's now mine.  Because of the bent pedal crank.  That and he has been driving for 7 years now, so he has little time for bicycles.  Maybe next week.  I volunteer on Tuesdays, and I have to take care of my Mom on Wed.  And then because I'm a house husband, there's house cleaning.

Where does the week go?

Damn, I lusted for that campy stuff back when I was laying down crazy mileage every week.

Had to settle for shimano.  Guess that's the way it goes.

Even worse, I had those freakin' eccentric Bio-Pace chainrings.

Like I said, I really wanted Campy.  Sigh.

Man, sorry to hear about your job...

I checked out your site and almost put one of my CBs up on craigslist....  Talk about bringing back memories.  I had a tricked out Rampar and later a Diamond Back but the one I would have given my left nut for as a kid was the Skyway TA.  I still want one...  You have some beautiful bikes dude. If you ever come across a TA holler at me!

I have a slew of it sitting around, and probably any other bike part you could want, so LMK and I will take care of you.
