Went to the Bicycle Swap Meet in St. Paul yesterday, and could not have done so without the generous support of one

B. ROSE.

I didn't sell much, but did sell most of B. Rose's gear. Fairplay to him. However, I did buy some sweet Dura Ace (FC-7402) cranks w/a Spot chainring guard, and a pair of XTR cantilevers so I now have a complete set for some sweet cross bike action. Come to think of it, I also bought a set of NOS LX V-brakes w/levers from Geno, and a pair of BR-M420 (ahem) V-brakes in the box, from Pintz Guzzled. Speaking of pints guzzled, our 4-bloc table went thru a case of Guinness bottles rather quickly, being sure to clandestinely drink them from assorted coffee cups so as to avoid the glowering looks and wrath of those who are into glowering looks and wrath...After the swap, per tradition, we stopped at the Dubliner for a few more pints before roaring back across the river in the Huey, and rescuing BRose from his days indentured servitude. Thank you, BRose, for being so awesome. -Hurl
