BianchiGirll, my bike loves you.

I arrived home from work today and, as I often do, hurried to the mail box to see if the Postlady brought me anything for the bike builds I have going on. Inside was a little box from LooseScrews. "Oh, that's nice", I thought to myself. As I closed the door of small, wall-mounted box I saw a big mailing tube on the porch below. I thought, "I don't rec all ordering a poster". Hmmm.

I brought the mail in and took a closer look at the label which had a clever little notice to the postal carrier.



I opened it up and when I saw the contents I was. . . . I was. . . . . well, I was just real damned happy! BianchiGirll sent me a chrome frame pump for my Voyageur 11.8! I've had trouble finding a Silca pump to fit the 25" frame and I had refused to use an umbrella clamp. The waiting paid off!



If there's one thing a chrome road bike needs nearly as much as a rider, it's a matching chrome frame pump. And now mine has one! You made my day, BG! Thanks a million!

I can't believe it arrived that fast. it certainly looks great on that Voyager, and now that you have the pump tht was stalling the project you can get off you bum and finish it *giggle*

your very welcome I am glad someone can use that great looking pump.

did you get th little brake part for the other member?


now about those barend shifters.....
