Dave invited entry of vintage mountain bikes for this year’s Cino but, though this bike qualified as “keeper of the flame”, it had those pesky and reliable XO shifters that are not really in the spirit of Cino. I scrounged up some old thumbies but could not bring myself to making the switch and with help from friends at my LBS, we came up with a ridiculous deception. I found that a bit of scofflaw can be compensated with bribery and stupid humor and was able to slip this by inspection and get the stamp.

Cino MMXXII - ready to roll and roll call!
