Bob !

Dude !

That message had me laughing , and wincing , at the same time !

VERY glad you're still around , AND haven't lost your sense of humor about it all .

And I have to say , having a piece of genuine Campagnolo stainless steel shift-cable housing , installed into your heart . . .

Might be taking this whole enthusiasm for "vintage lightweights" just one step too far !

;^)

( although I always wondered why the racers didn't have a few little toes amputated for lighter weight . . . ;^)

And seriously , VERY best wishes .
