    Does anyone have any idea what make this logo is?
    http://www.labyrinth.net.au/~nmr/mystery.jpg
    It's an oldish road frame - probably mid 80s - 12sp.


    It's got *Suzue hubs and Sugino cranks.*

    Oh, the memories.. :-)

    I'm hoping the logo on the seat stay will give away what make it is.


    It's also got a serial number stamped under the BB shell.

    It has a Columbus sticker which says "Tubi Rinforzati Garntiti" and


    "Acciaio Speciale" but I'm not convinced it's genuine - the sticker is
    over the top of a clear coat.

    Ok, I now officially give up.

    Do you have Sparks on CD?

    ps: actual cycling related thing.
    Wet day in Melbourne today. On the commute home, I saw 3 people put
    down their inside-the-turn leg for 1 fall - luckily, only pride was
    bruised.
    Should we be stencilling (sp?) on the bike paths "when you go round a
    corner, especially when it's wet, make sure you tuck up your leg
    closest to the corner you're turning into and lean your body weight onto
    the pedal on the outside of the turn"?
    Hmm. Can we recruit the people that do the "feed the rat", "ribcage"
    and (what an guy/girl) "ha-ha" to do this?

    Hmmm. Musing some idle thought. Who was "333" A early incarnation of Shimano?

    cfsmtb:
    Plenty. Which Sparks era do you require? Early 70's bubblegum pop, mid 70's glam, late 70's electroclash, early 80's trashy pop, late 80's over produced [censored] or 2002 magnificence?

    cfsmtb:
    Cripes, thought the leg thing was basic common sense whilst cornering. Stencilling? Uber trendy in inner 'burbs of Melbourne. Ever thought of going DIY? Just mind find yourself at a wanky gallery opening...

    BTW, what do you think of the cfsmtb frontpage thing? Recently received advice I should "blog" it instead. Alway I'm just waiting for the Peak Oil palaver to hit the mainstream media. Fact or fiction? Regardless it may get more people cycling more often. Opps, where did I hear _that before? Better go now. :p

    The whut? Is this something to do with Shimano (before it became
    $himano) 600 (like on my li'l bro's "the old axe story, redux" bike)...
    umm, is 333 the Half Price Discount of the Beast?

    Yeah know this feeling well. A couple of weeks back at the BV Campaigns night at Melb Town Hall I happily chatted away to gent I thought was you. Turned out to be another bike-orientated pete I knew. "How many points did I get in the quiz, pete?" To a blank stare. Only realised when I was riding home. ahhhh, brainnn....
