I am wondering if someone like Sheldon, Greg Parker and/or the redoubtable
E-Ritchie (I sure hope redoubtable is the right word...I was dying to use it
in a sentence and I have worked it in twice now in the same one) might be
able to have these things made under their name. One would not be able to
put brand names like "Campagnolo" on them with out permission, of course.
Seems if a small market can support lugs perhaps it could support those
parts that wear out... like gum wall tires, brake hoods, brake pads, etc.
With E-Ritchie's design genius, Sheldon's marketing expertise and Greg's
Engineering background, they would be a threesome to be reckoned with. The
fact that they all have considerable cache and name recognition wouldn't
hurt, either.
Just daydreaming, I guess, while I watch the street for the DHL truck and
delivery of my new (old) Masi.
