I've got the pretty white rolls on my Litespeed
I had it on my track bike. I only brought it coz I smashed (yes, smashed) my old one in a fall racing in Tassie and had to get a replacement asap. You reckon the boys didn't give me heaps when I was racing!

I've got some trimmed and riveted christophe toestraps...slightly soiled, but good for your phelan-esque girlfriend to use as ankle bracelets for that "i'm a dirty french roadie" look. Work best when worn with a harlequin wool riding cap. 
(Dont ask how I got them out of the pedals without ripping out the rivet.

ok back to a little bit of cycling. I went back to visit frenchy (Maurice) and my wheel still isn't finished. I bought a set of new cones for a front wheel, but the axle is for a rear wheel, so Maurice (in his infinite wisdom?) gave me cones for a rear wheel. And wouldnt sell me an axle/cones/bearings for a front wheel. Now this is where I couldnt understand him anymore, is there any benefits in doing this? Or is it all negative?
