Louis: Yours is one of the more original eMails I've ever received on CR. I think that Dale disparages humor on this site, but, your post seems serious. I've heard of a banana Daiquiri, but never a banana Cinelli. My mechanic replied, yes, but, that he has no bananas, so grease will have to do. He also tells me that he engages in no monkey-business, and to prevent the obvious risk of contamination, I should not use the bars under water, especially at Homosassa Springs.
