In your town I don't know...In Cleveland they are worth a ride to the co-op and about five minutes with a hacksaw.

I'd consider buying one.

I mean it takes considerably more skill to properly butcher a $70 leather saddle than it does to take a hacksaw to a set of $5 bars.
I've seen pictures of your saddles, they look sweet.

It's amazing how a brushing wheel can hide the hacksaw marks and remove old tape scum.

Yeah, kind of silly. Shows how many clueless people are out there (I'm sure I'm clueless compared to many.). At least you get a stem with it.

Yeah...I've been noticing those listings and thought they were lame. Bids EVERY time, though.Then I thought about how much $$$$ that person must be raking in selling that crap. Then I .....wait....nevermind they're STILL lame.
