Jul 23, 2003 11:14 PM | | I just spent the past two hours checking for nicer bike parts on the Ebay boards of Europe. Pretty skinny on the good stuff that we can get by lifting the phone and making a call or a quick trip to our LBS's.
I was amazed at the variety of bike with components I had never heard or seen. Not many I would put on my bikes.
I lived in Europe 4 times and speak a few lanuages, so it was fun checking the ads out, but not very productive.
Long live Chris King, and IF and Moots, Thomson, Paul's, SRP, Jericho, and all the other small and independent manufacturers who make this hooby, sport, life style so enjoyable.

Jul 24, 2003 8:25 AM | | ...absolutely anywhere I want (even on private property), at any time I want and at any speed that I want is worth something too.
I'd give up the fancy parts for that. However combining the above with the fact that I have an American CC with an American mailing address and the opportunity to go to the US and pick up stuff on a regular basis - is as close to perfect as it gets.
