Come on RaceCat, show a picture of your bike and redeem yourself. Most of us here don't have rare expensive bikes either.

I'm puzzled. I'd like to respond, but I'm a little unclear exactly what the OP is asking. ITT? Or ITM? I've got an ITT stem and bars, which are pretty sharp, but I'm not familiar with ITT.

Puntcuation helps. So does spleling. Now, what's this about handlebars?

Don't tell this road cat about the 41. If C&V gets to him this quickly...

So it's the keyboard? I'm not buying it.

I think it's funny that David and Robbie, who have to be a couple of the mildest tempered guys on this forum, managed to tick the guy off bad enough that he picked up his marbles and went home. I'm kinda tempted to hunt down his other 29 posts.

lol @ the state of the american education system

I,m bored..go ahead have fun..shows your IQ..keyboard is ______ up. have to use lot pressure to get keys to work
sorry about queens english or is its kings......trying to say put handlebars on my bike,ITT made in Italy,so big deal,went to Sears...Shall we have a spot of tea

Italy makes good stuff

Dude, chill out. There are a lot of very sharing folks here.

Now tell us what you'd like to know.

I had thirty plus students in my class last year that were truly exceptional.

I am very proud of them.

Believe me, pot shots against the system will not make it better.

Take some of that negative energy and turn it into some volunteer hours in an elementary school near you.

Fwiw The op may may not have been a native English speaker.

Let's give folks a chance you guys.

Let's slow down here for a moment.

Folks here will help, but restate in the positive.

Give yourself a chance to handle this with class.

lets end this thread,good night,..be safe...

Please come back and try the question again another time!

Pretty good bunch here I think.

Hope you come back soon!

Translation:
I traded an old frame I had for a set of ITT aluminum bars. The bars are very lightweight. I believe the bars are from the 1970s. Are they highly regarded? Do you know if they are valuable?. Will they work on my Schwinn?

My computer is old and not working very well.

I'm not certain why you gentlemen are giving me so much grief? Please accept my apologies for not owning a rare vintage bicycle. But even an inexpensive bike like mine has some value. Now I'm very upset and I'm considering leaving Bike Forums.

I am bored by you having fun at my expense. You seem to be insensitive to the challenges I face with this malfunctioning computer. All I want to do is mount my ITT Italian handlebars on my Schwinn. In the meantime I've gone to Sears and had a refreshing cup of tea. It was supposed to be calming. But instead I come back to all this bantering on and on. The Queen would never approve.

The above service is brought to by 30+ years of local church ministry of listening and making sense out of the nonsensical, i.e. every person has a story to tell. :)

Let's hope Racecat comes back in a better mood, with a better sense of humor, and is able to straighten out his computer challenges. :thumb:

I'll go along with that, mostly. But I am not familiar with ITT handlebars. Possibly they are either 3TTT or ITM?

racecat I have a spare PC keyboard for free, PM me if you want it.

Pastorbob, Wow! If you get tired of working the pulpit, I am sure they could use you up at the UN. Nice job helping racecat to get his point across.

Racecat, all we need now it to know which Schwinn model you have and the size diameter if the handle bars.

Pastorbob, President Bush could've used your services. Though I fear what he actually meant when he spoke was probably worse than what we thought he meant.

You guys are all so kind. I hope Racecat can see this in you, and come back to this thread with a change of heart. The typos, after all, are quite funny. We've all made the same sort of mistakes from time to time.

I become frustrated myself by not well written statements and questions, but I've come to the point that the best approach is to carefully listen and try your best to figure it out. My favorite expression, which is used very often in thread titles and opening lines goes something like this:

"Help me date my bike..." (which always sounds to me as if the person wants to take his/her bike out for a romantic evening :roflmao2:).

I feel I must apologize to the OP, and to the group, for starting off on the wrong foot.
OP, please forgive me and know that this place can be a really fun forum, and the folks are as great as anyplace on the net.
I don't text from a phone, in fact don't have a phone, and assumed the OP was ticking away on his phone in that "hurry up" language they use.

I've been guilty often enough of posting stuff in hmuor that was a bit "two suttle so that it luked like an insult". So I plead mea culpa for this event.

However it is difficult to offer useful answers when the question isn't fully understood. That the OP was typing on a broken cellphone pseudo-keyboard may explain the unintelligibility but that doesn't make it any better.

txtng seems 2B part of the prblm people who do it get into the habit of shrtcuts whch wrks OK if the readr knws the subject alredy with a technical discssn it dznt wrk so well u cant say smthng unambiguously when its all new stuff i dont know wht the solutn is i know ppl who wont check voxmail and dont ansr the phone but do txt all the time txt can be red whnevr the recvr wants to chck but a phone call has 2B ansrd whn it comes in how wd u describe re-blding a BB in a twttr msg i dont know

Thing is, I don't think he was even asking a question. His post ends in a thumbs up, and although hard to understand, seems to be made up of a few declarative statements about having gotten new bars. (His previous posts are in a similar style.)

I think his urge to communicate despite all odds were fascinating and commendable.
