Potential vs Reality
Written by vingo

A kid comes home from school with a writing assignment. He asks his fatherfor help.

Dad, can you tell me the difference between potential and reality?

His father looks up, thoughtfully, and then says, I'll display it to you.
Go ask your mother if she would sleep with Robert Redford for a million dollars.
Then go ask your sister if she would sleep with Brad Pitt for a million dollars.
Then come back and tell me what you've learned.

The kid is puzzled, but he decides to see if he can figure out what his father means.

He asks his mother,
Mom, if someone gave you a million dollars, would you sleep with Robert Redford?
His mother looks around slyly, and then with a little smile on her face says, Don't tell your father, but yes, I would.

Then he goes to his sisters room and asks her,
Sis, if someone gave you a million dollars, would you sleep with Brad Pitt?
His sister looks up and says, Omigod! Definitely!

The kid goes back to his father and says, Dad, I think I've figured it out.
Potentially, we're sitting on two million bucks, but in reality, we're living with two whores.

I'll say it again:

All welsh men are bald. FACT.

For proof, see OP.

i am not bald

Dydd gwyl dewi, iawn de boi ! Dwi'n cofio dafodils pan yr oeddwn yn ysgol yn blentyn bach, ond dydwi ddim yn ei ddathu rwan. Mae pethau yn newid wrth i chi dyfu fynu.

no matter, there is a clincher variation the ADX-1W

but hold on, the tires on them look like Gran Compe clinchers ?

Araya Aero 1 are tubular..

I hope the white tyres don't rock the boat too much

anyone tell me what rims they are ?

Im guesssing they are Omega but i'm not sure/

They were unique, back in the mid 1980s when they were a popular choice for testers. Not only are the pads unlike anything else, and fixed to the arms by an eccentric adjuster which means substituting something more modern needs a bit of ingenuity, but the reach was so short that you pretty much had to have your frame custom built to accept them, and putting a normal 39mm 'short' reach brake in their place sometimes requires filing of the top of the pad adjuster slots on the new brake to get the pad high enough.

Yellow Jersey are listing the pads as in stock at $50/pr

Their web presence is probably best described as retro like their stock, but if you phone them you're likely to be able to talk to somebody who has a clue, another retro feature :-)

amazing, i looked and asked everywhere for these of a period of a few months hoping to trace a few, but i got nothing. Cheers.

I have those calipers on my tark bike.

Out of interest, do you know where i can get replacement brake blocks from ? they seem completely unique.

to stop a car rolling forward you put in 1st and conversely reverse to stop it rolling backwards. I notice that everyone thinks that putting it in the opposite gear stops the car but it doesn't.

Something tells me that turning the engine backwards as what happened to you doest not do the engine any good.
I know you not supposed to do that when turning the engine for timing it.

probably get that fixed, rather easily with some brazing skills, i.e Roberts or Vaz. Do a search on brazing, and cracked frame see what other information is about. This is not the first time this topic has come up so most likely there is a few gems of information to be had.

I have kindle now and although the 3G internet is free, it's really not up to the job of web browsing.
It's far too slow. Especially in terms of images.
On the other hand, if you do need to see a page.e.g emails, and and don't mind the wait, it's completely fine.
The 3G and the experimental web browser is not really up to the job quite yet.

unemployment and common people. sry.. I'm being honest.

absolutely the best quality titanium welds, aircraft standard, which is very hard to achieve.
