That’s a good one!
Gracias, hombre. Vertical integration, supply-chain issues, COVID restrictions, The Great Resignation, etc. — 2021 was the gift that kept on giving.
Was indeed that kinda year. I quietly thank Pat O’Brien for that nice saddle on my Litespeed every time I hop on that bike.
O yeh. During The Bug Years a friend with bits is a friend, no shits.
Speaking of which, that stem you laid on me is just ducky.
You are welcome, amigo. I thought you might like that saddle, and I like it is on a bike and not sitting in a box in the garage. I think those Terry Ti Fly’s are made in Italy, probably by Selle Italia.
