Respray it to brown and call it "Crumble". Can't have rhubarb without
the crumble, that's not natural.

Of course you can. Fool!

But he wanted to [censored] it up...

As far as this string of buns, sorry, *puns* goes, that's the icing on
the cake. Better stop there before my brain turns a trifle
jelly-like....

Absolutely. I just get a bit ticked off at what I see in the cycling
press, eg stuff along the lines of "the ride was a bit harsh, but a
carbon seatpost could improve that" etc.

The other week, CW was actually criticising a carbon bars/stem combo
for giving a bike *too harsh* a ride at the front end - there's no
pleasing some journalists! Carbon seatposts are good for (a) looking a
bit flash, (b) saving weight and (c) not corroding into the frame [1],
but can't see how they'd ease the ride all *that* much (compared to a
fork assembly, where the very design of the component helps the damping
effect).

[1] I *still* managed to get a CF post stuck in a steel frame, which
probably qualifies me for some sort of "services to muppetry" award ;-)
