Since I arrived late for muster, I didn't change into my suit, but a bent tandem rider did have a gorilla suit. -- meb |

I thought I was keen but I've never heard of anything like this. Is it meant for repairs or what? Firming is nonsense, I guess. What like we're not used to nonsense in cycling goods. I seem to recall these being used on BMX bikes back in the dark ages. Ron |
