You have forgotten the 1970's plastic crowd, the guys who get pleasure from owning cheapo moulded parts out of Italy, be it brake levers, shifter levers, saddles of else. The saddle freaks are the best, they pay 500 bucks for 50 cent pleather coated Italian nylon saddle shells. This is one big market, and a saddle being something you put your buttocks on, it could be pretty anal. Plus "How to massage the nose of your Idéale 2000 suede coated saddle to perfection with your scrotum" and stuff. Here's a link to a saddle I've designed for these guys, I'm taking subscritions right now, 550 bucks shipped. http://membres.lycos.fr/partspeekers/hpbimg/saddlegreen2.jpgAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-61948375312739390492007-11-11T11:16:00.000-05:002007-11-11T11:16:00.000-05:00T.

Jasper Parnell,<BR/><BR/>In the spirit of ruining something by explaining it, two things are going on in this post: 1) certain types of cyclists we all recognize (in ourselves and in others) are being charicatured; and 2) the typical specialty magazine format is being parodied. The idea of someone actually writing or reading an article about 75 more places to put reflective tape (which implies not only that you'd need to be told where to put it but that you also already read an article that gave you 74 places to put it) strikes some of the less compulsively analytical people among us as funny, mostly because of the hyperbolized number.<BR/><BR/>If you think less when you read this site you might enjoy it, and I hope that you do. But if you're looking for something to dissect and critique you might want to read something else.<BR/><BR/>--BSNYCBikeSnobNYChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11256142855437740163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-75865031367878548142007-11-11T09:42:00.000-05:002007-11-11T09:42:00.000-05:00Those bags are... well... ummm... colourful?-B'nos...Those bags are... well... ummm... colourful?<BR/><BR/>-B'noserBluenoserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03448920726947078281noreply@blogger.com
