integrated straddle wire with a separate yoke (not sure why i had it,
i think it's been in the parts box for like 10+ years, i wasn't sure

Keep this price drop thing going on and I'll figure out if I'm a 23

couplers, outfitted with studded tires for traction on icy roads and
bike paths. Only a short 7 mile ride outside after snow blowing drive

shots around SF - by a cable car, around FW etc...right now there are
