Do you think she knows that the post has to be greased before

For those of you that don't have the history in the US bike industry
that
Brian has...

Many years ago (late 70s?) a US company called Weyless was in the bike
business. One of their products was a seatpost. At one point they ran
an ad with an attractive young lady holding a Weyless seatpost. The
ad copy read "Remember, always grease before insertion."

Thankfully they went out of business not long after. And many of us
in the US have never forgotten to grease our seatposts before inserting
them.

They are NOT out of business..........

The original Weyless was started by Bill Shook (of American Classic) ...
Not
sure how he lost the name (or if he sold it), but Weyless/Supergo is NOT
the
same Weyless ....


In the late 70s, Weylesswas a very upscale US brand. Their clothing was
really nice, except for the see through wool shorts. I think they had hubs
which may well have been from Asia.

The wool shorts must have been popular in New Zealand.
