Errrrrhm... Attention everybody.
Ted Ernst would like ya'll to know that while you were jawboning about it, Ted was able to provide me with two official Pino Morroni tools for my classico bike with Pino BB. One for using and one to put in my display case. :-)
I guess Ted has been holding on to them for many years. Thanks a million, Ted!
