...Talisker for me.

I do get where you're coming from- CL generates a never-ending torrent of laughs hereabouts.

As an example, not too long ago I recall seeing a severely (and I do mean SEVERELY) beat up early '90s MB-5; missing cables, saddle, a canti or two, mismatched wheels, etc. (the whole nine yards)... listed as a "touring bike", with "Altegra" components.

It doesn't make me mad, though; I usually chuckle, then sadly reflect on just how far the folks at the Co-Op have to go when it comes to public bike education. I mean, it really just comes down to seller ignorance. And of course, that's sometimes a boon to those of us who know a thing or two- I snagged my Panasonic through just such an ad... for a mere $25.
