fixer: i've noticed people on ebay will buy just about anything. it's pretty amazing. i'm sure there's someone out there who'd like to butcher his brooks but is too afraid to try it himself, or pay less for that swallow look. couldn't hurt to throw one up there and see how much it gets.
i'm going to start selling showercaps and call them "custom made all-weather saddle covers".

I have custom bars very similar to that. A friend of mine said to me, "Hey, you said you were looking for a handle bar, want these." Once I received the bars the intense customization process began. I got a pipe cutter, chopped, flopped, and spent $0.

Another good one would be:
Custom Hand Crafted Handlebar Shim. Make your 25.4 Handlebar fit a 26.0 stem!!
I have enough materials(beer cans) around to make about 5,000 of these. Hey, people buy the $8 Nitto shims, right?
eBay is just downright evil sometimes.

I was needing a shim for my seat post and untill now I have been using a piece paper. Take that water!
I don't drink out of cans though (too much waste) but I'm sure I can find one on the street

Yes, I agree. An excellent example of "stupid capitalism".
