I mean really, in my opinion Pete Mathews messed up in his efforts to make a truly rare rim. If he wanted to make the rim even that much more rare and desirable, he should have engraved a date code incorporating the fortnight so that collecting a pair would be even more challenging!!

How far will _YOU_ go to match up to original equipment?
