of course that wouldnt have been an issue had Mrs Zips not found your credit card bill....

Very true.

Have to admit though that my love of collecting has waned somewhat over the last year. I found I was collecting bikes for the sake of collecting bikes.

I plan to keep a few bikes and then sell the rest.

I will probably keep the S&M though as I love it. :smitten:

Post by: SaMAlex on October 17, 2008, 11:22 AM: So many people love those stems. Its a great example of a product that has come back, unchanged, cos its really nice.
I have 2 of them .... the original ones ... not that they are any different from the new ones anyway! :LolLolLolLol:
(actually, I think the edges are sharper on the early ones)
