A few years ago, I purchased some steel Cinelli track bars from an eBay s
eller in Australia. They took quite a while to arrive. I wish I had docum
ented their packaging because it was a miracle that they arrived at all:The
seller had simply wrapped the bars in brown kraft paper and tape and put a
sticker with my address on them near the handlebar clamp. No bubble. No
foam. No box! Just a parcel with that sexy swoop of a number 14 pista bar
...I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall at various points of t
hat journey (customs, post office, etc.). "I wonder what's in there???
