My old Black Shadow, wish I still had this one.. This was one of the very 1st, ones built, without the dimpled chain stays, so it was mush more ridgid than the laters ons (I spaced my Crank arms to clear)..

Carabela Profesional, about thirty years old. First generation Dura Ace components, Columbus tubing. First cousin to a Windsor Pro (same bike basically, except with Campy components), which was a copy of a Cinelli.

I haven't ridden it in years. Probably ought to sell it.

I'm getting these tested right now! I've tried for 5 years to get them to sell them to the states. Wish me LUCK!

Why can we get the Met helmets? fail snell test or something? They use them in the pro circuit or teams overseas, or are they not the same thing or re-badge of someone else's products. I still can't get over that knife. do you use it much and how does it hold an edge. It was a BB tool, right? Now I want to make one.

I should have MET here in the States for ALL of us around April. They will be the REAL thing MADE in Italy. and right now there's 16 helmets sitting at Act Labs LLC here in So-Cal to be tested. Met has assured me that they have tested them and they have passed. I'm just doing my part. They truly fit well and ventalation is tremendous!

Please wait a bit before you start talking about them!

The Knife...well it's art. I have only cut a piece of paper with it. Yes, it's the BB/pedal wrench.

I'm working on a folder made of two crank wrenchs & a 80's chain ring bolt.

I wouldn't say anything to anyone. I have been out of the loop with all the local hammer heads hot dogs. I am just in the market for a new helmet. I started to ride a little again. Nothing serious like before, its just for fitness now. When do you think I will be able to get one of those helmet at my local shop. Are you the sole importer?

I think you are nuts but I can't wait to see this folder you are talking about. What does this folder do?
