So I'm spending time with my wife garage-sailing, and I happen upon a guy
selling MTB parts. I look around a bit and spot Brand Spankin' New XTR 952
shifters, cables and all. Picked 'em up for $30. Woohoo

Why the hell do people still need shifter?

The mind serves properly as a window glass rather
than as a reflector, that is, the mind should give
an immediate view instead of an interpretation of the world.

What kind of a rig do you put on a garage these days?

Hey, maybe this is evidence that Bill's Evangelical Church of the One True
Speed is spreading. If this keeps up, we'll be seeing dual control pods all
over ebay at firesale prices, Nashbar pawning off cassettes for the price of
shipping, and chainrings being recycles as "art" all throughout the land.

Can I get an AMEN!

Heehee... Good one!

I was thinking maybe a Y'all since it's most likely the southerners who'd be
sailing garages.

At first I was mizzen your point, but then I keeled over with luffter.

Sorry I feel like a heel for all of this, I truly am a guy without a clew,
next time I'll take a different tack, maybe not stay so long and I'll be
fairing a bit better.

BTW nice web page, I have done some racing over the years on the great
lakes, PRHF and Level racing, also used to work for a research lab and did
some work on trim tab design for one of the Americas Cup boats.

I have kind of gotten away from it, not for lack of love of sailing, more
about lack of time. MTBing takes a couple of hours whereas sailboat racing
takes up whole weekends. I still have a small Bombardier dinghy and like to
go goofing around in our bay.

Anyways, cheers - sailing forever

Ahah! The great Race that keeps diesngers in cash and billionaires with
something to worry about financially ;-P

I was involved with some of the design work on the first America3 challenge
(the one they won), along with 90% of the other designers in Newport. It's
amazing how one man can keep a whole state in business ;-)
