Damn, it’s a lovely lever! I need one for my Bob Jackson, I was looking for a little slim silver lever just like that! I checked out the e-lever but I don’t like one fingered levers, their Love lever is nice but too expensive. I’ll find one some day!!

That is a REAL lever I snaked from my old mountain bike. I had to put it back because that’s the bike my wife uses and it’s wasn’t too safe for her to ride with one lever! I also shouldn’t break up the pair.
It’s a beauty. Highly polished machined aluminum. They don’t make them anymore and I can’t find a single picture of them online except for mine. I’ll have to get a better shot of them sometime.
The Paul e-Lever is very nice, although it doesn’t have the stopping power that my old (and cheap) bike and brake combo have. I don’t know if it’s the brake, the lever, or the rim, or all three.

Hi, great looking bike. I love all the dura-ace stuff on it. I was wondering what that MTB front lever was that you originally had on it? Looks pretty nice to me!

I remember Drew Pattison. I still feel bad for backing your mom’s station wagon into his Trans Am in your driveway in 10th grade…your parents were so very cool about it. I was humiliated.

I didn’t find that definition in my dictionary, Lee.

Frank- Don’t kill the red or fox squirrels. They’re the nice ones. The greys are the common invasive ones that are everywhere. They’re even invading England. Saw it on PBS so it must be true.

I had that exact same problem two years in a row. Each varmint control call cost me $1,200. Finally, I got out the pellet gun and did what you did…and every squirrel I see now I try to pop…they’re rats with furry tails as far as I’m concerned. They do some real damage.

I must admit I had to laugh about the kids getting up early…except on school days. In some ways I’m glad mine are grown up.

Black Velvet! Didn’t they evolve later into the band Cognito? With Steve Schulte and Ron Cousineau? They played at that pinball machine place in Torrey Road on Saturday nights (what was it called?) and hauled everyting to their gigs back and forth in the back seat Ron’s 1971 Monte Carlo and Steve Schulte’s mom’s station wagon.

Good to know Boggia is doing well.

Bragadocious?

That one had me baffled. I had to look it up:

“A contraction from the Latin root phrase BRAJICTICUS PENILE ENORMI DOCCIUS; late 1300s; commonly known to refer to a particular scholar-warrior caste normally associated with a rare combination of significant capability and raw humility.”

Don’t forget, the rule in the city is – “don’t snitch on crazy people with guns, especially if they live near you!” At least that’s how we roll in the D! I think you’re safe.
