I have it on reliable source, that it's not even BBM's, he's only babysitting until a diminutive C&V member treks South.

I doubt he's given up, rather like a fine angler of the fly I suspect he is just observing the commotion on the surface of the water and is selecting his next fly out of the box to cast this way.Originally Posted by cudak888

The jig, as they say, is up. As OFG has proclaimed, this little Italian pony belongs to EastHill. I was just the agent in this deal.
It was spotted on the Serotta forum by OFG, bargained for and closed on by EastHill, and received and delivered (eventually) by yours truly.

Nah, just fill the frame with BB's... Just think about the lower
center of gravity and reduced vibration.
Or, stick a springer on dat ting wif a set of ape hangers and
Stingray shifters, and den go cruzziinnnn. !

That frame was not built by Mario Confente. If he was still here, Mario would be laughing his a** off at all of you right now.
Joke. It's a joke based on a recent thread that spun into surreality.

Best thread ever!!
Congrats East Hill, and don't forget to pick up a multi-colored pack of electrical tape so you can have all kinds of colors on it after you rattle can it.... And put new bars on, then flip them and chop the bars into Bullhorns too, cuz' those make it pop more....

I will take that under consideration. Do you not like the current colour? I think the silver and pink is rather nice, but I would be open to suggestions.Originally Posted by bigwoo
