It fits the cups like a hand in a glove. As I was putting it away I noticed in the back of my tool box a similarly sized tool that also works. Oh well I have two now. The other tool is a Bike Hand YC-120B. I enjoy keeping the vintage wheels on the road. The picture is of the bike as purchased for $40. It's in nice shape

Ancient thread?!? From August of this year? Damn, dude, welcome and everything but you ain't seen nothin' yet if you think this is a zombie thread.
However, I compliment you in finding the Nice Little Bike (I should have trademarked that) that I've spoken of many times around here. I sold these new and even bought one for my sister when she had her kid. Here's a Tourist 5 that my sister-in-law dug up when she needed a townie bike and brought to me for some attention.
