I bought a bike based on a blurry photo a few years ago, had it shipped across the Atlantic. In the photo it had a ragged blue saddle with the corners scuffed, but when it arrived I saw it was one of those lycra covers. Pulled it off and, Brooks Professional. Nice!
Those covers were awful, just another way to get more da-glo on your bike.
We sold those eyeglass things at the bike shop where I worked, "Croakies". (http://www.croakies.com/) I used 'em with my Vuarnets. (Hinault wore Vuarnets!) BTW Robert I like your email style. I can almost hear Tom Waits singing in the background. :)
