Yes, the shifters are Arabesque. I guess the bicycle equivalent of naked girl mudflaps will have to wait a little longer. Maybe Campy could do it tastefully?

Perhaps the infamous Zoe is still showing off her wares on eBay. That could be considered 'burlesque' .

I'm not certain that there is a tasteful way of doing naked girl mudflaps, but Campy would probably do the best job .

I think it goes like this:

"Wrinkles and Cherry and Twinkie and Pinkie and Fifi live from gay Paree
"Fanfares, rim shots, back stage, who cares, all this arabesque for me."

(Apologies to Tom Waits ....)
