The Good Lord reminds me to be humble: Although I boasted of my milestone one-two knee shift two weeks back, I was brought back down to earth yesterday when I over-knee shifted into the small ring on a climb and nearly lost my manhood. The resulting surge towards a very tall Nitto stem was narrowly avoided. Not so lucky at 10 years old when my...boyhood met the "stick shifter" on my Schwinn Fastback with banana seat.
Possible side effects include dizziness, nausea and temporary blindness. Shifty On Thursday, July 12, 2012 9:06:47 PM UTC-5, [email protected] wrote: > > I am truly amazed at your expertise.
