hearts on fire NOT OT

[Nichols]

Dean,
    I don't whine about other deletable OT posts, why should I whine about 
my own? <G>
Oh, and Ed.... BTW... the treble crack that has show up on 5 or 6 of those 
Sohmers down here has been pretty easy to fix, with a "scab" of steel on 
the outside (right) side of the strut. There's always been enough room 
between the strut and the rim. The "Cupid" model is narrower, as I recall, 
and may require a bit of extra grinding/fitting.

Enjoy!
Guy

Oh.... and Dean?..... Ya coulda marked your reply "OT", y'know.
