Hi CR folks,
Does anyone have a package of pink Benotto bar tape they can spare for a really good cause? (I sold lots of pkgs for a song over the years - but why didn't I keep some for my ladies Pink Cinelli?)
Anyway, if anyone can come to the rescue fast, I'll trade an envelope containing $6 and a postal priority stamp for priority delivery of the tape.
