no, a salad fork would have three tines; looks more to me like a fork for slicing a roast.

Thanks a lot, Dan... After talking with you, I had the terrible urge to watch that dreadful youtube video.

You know the one...

It’s like they know what they are doing but not 100% sure & they need to cut 6.10 in half at least. Fun stuff!

There's a 2006 Pista on CL for $300.

My favourite part of the ad:

I'm looking to pass on this gorgeous track bike as the frame is bent pretty badly. All other parts are good as new. It's such a beautiful bike
My thoughts are when the frame is bent pretty badly, usually other stuff is not so good either.

appologies for not responding. glad is was a good ride. i was busy cleaning the house before my bday bbq.

i'd like to say that my refurbished (thanks bRAD!) cruiser bike is really fun to cruise on, even if it's slow. cheap busted saddles... not so much. a few more additions and it'll be perfect. not riding with bike shoes is weird, but it is nice to have the option.

I've been lulled by ebay. I just got drilled for $35USD shipping a brakeset because I didn't ask in advance :-( Too many nice people have quoted me like 10 USD for equivalent weight parts or actually refunded me money if it cost less than they anticipated... Now I'm sad. Time for a bowl and a newcastle.

About as awesome as it gets, and racy too.

Quite possibly the best movie I saw in Bangalore.

I generally don't follow vid threads, but that is the funniest thing I've seen in a long time. About to be ripped as my new ring tone. Chinese new country, I love it.
