To the person to whom I gave the old single pivot Dura Ace brakes: I found the QR barrel adjusters

[Patrick Moore]

I forget your name. I sent you a pair of early, single pivot DA calipers last summer or fall, without the barrel adjusters. I found them. If you want them, please pipe up offlist.

Note: This type is the nicest barrel adjusters-cum-QRs that I've ever seen.

Sorry, other listers.

Patrick, 

Your subject line reminds me of the William Carlos Williams poem: This is just to say

Here is the ibob version:

This is just to say

That I have discovered

the barrel adjusters 

that were missing

on the dura ace

brakeset I sold you

Which you probably 

have been searching for

in vain

on eBay

Forgive me

they were buried deep

in my parts bin

so silver

and so small.

This is probably my favorite thing I have ever read on this list, so thank you.

Thanks. I'm just a frustrated writer in quarantine trying to do my part. I'm here on the RBW list giving it away for free while putting off writing for money.

Very good indeed! Kudos! One reason I love the iBoblist and the RBWlist spillover is the general literacy and, even more, the genial humor. Now, I like the CR list, but you don't get the intelligence, benevolence, and certainly not the literacy that you get on these lists.

Bicycles are wonderful as adjuncts to good lives.
