Paulie,
Damn, you really are serious about that Campy tape measure, aren't you. I have one myself, unfortunately it has been professionally engraved on the back with my initials, RBB. It is moderately shopworn but still in decent condition. Not sure if I still have the little box thingy it came in, but I'll look. It was given to me by Joe Morton of (at the time) Benotto USA back about 1988 I believe.
I resisted your first plea for one 'cause this is a personal item, but if you can't live without it, I'll trade you my used but charming one for any other neat little metal tape measure that has both inches and metric scales. I've never been able to figure out what those inch things were anyway. I have two of the Oschner tapes, so you'll have to find something else. Doesn't have to be bike related, just cool, metal, and useful (metric).
If you or anyone you know is comming down to SD for the ride Sunday, we can trade there.
