Oh Gee , I knew somebody was going to ask .

Should I open my mouth ?

Yes , I'm the guy who ended up with too many , brand-new , Fiamme "Yellow Label" ( actually the new-style labels are really more golden ) , Ergal , rims .

I have too many . But , I really don't want to uncover the boxes and sort through them all right now .

But , since I'm new around here , and I want all of you to like me , and we've all just shared a big group hug and everything . . .

If you keep nagging me , I'll be happy to sell you some .

Now , are they all 36 hole ? Are some 32 hole ?

How much did I pay for them , plus shipping ? If I make one ( 1 ) dollar profit per rim I'll have a big smile on my face . But , how much did I pay for those rascals ? I know I got a good deal when that business moved from Colorado to the East Coast .

I think maybe I have 6 or 8 rims more than the lifetime supply I originally wanted .

Would you consider nagging me about them , say maybe , come Spring time ?

Anybody have any ( like maybe one ) really good used Fiamme with the OLD style Red Label , in plain old 36 hole ?
