Black Wind

Sounds like a fart joke...

Here's the Magna "Black Wind" we've had laying around for fifteen years or so. SOMEONE got the idea we could sell it for a hundred bucks.

I think not. Sheldon Brown says they "are virtually worthless".

I rode it to the library the other day. Broke a spoke, I thought. Turned out I broke a NIPPLE! Never had that happen!

Between various photos "takes" the nipple disappeared. I didn't even notice till I was editing the photos! I blame it on the gnomes.

Wh00t, it's a ten speed!

I don't think we're getting a hundred bucks for this.

The Fat Cyclist posted some "topless" pictures of himself the other, showing before-n-after of his weight loss regimen.

I thought I might do the same.

You're a brave man. Ain't no way I'm posting a picture of my bare stomach on the internets....I don't want to be responsible for anyone dying from laughter.....

Those pesky gnomes! I agree with the donut guy! Wouldn't catch me posting a pic of my c-section scar!

You really need to get more sun on that chest. Then you might have a picture worthy of posting on the internet (which of course has a VERY high standard of excellence before one is allowed to add content!).
