Not strange at all. I'm too old for high school girl games. I borrowed the hub I needed from my heavy duti and bought another one from someone else. I'm not afraid to spend money for what I want and may well have paid your asking price. You didn't have one. You broke a basic safe trading rule of the cabe that is to put a price on what you intend to sell.

I didn't break any "Cabe Rule". You posted a wanted ad, I replied stating I had one, posted a pic of it for you, and asked you to PM me to see if we could work out a deal. You sent me a PM, I asked you to make me an offer, but you never did? End of story!

This time of year I am up at 2am to go fishing, and it is hard to sleep past that for me once I get into that sleeping pattern. I get to see some spectacular sunrises because of it. On my normal days I am up a 4am.

PAPER CLIP​

Back in the day when Pacific Cycle hosted the Schwinn Bike Forum there was a thread about the paper clips that were attached to the rear fender mounting tab on the kickstand tube. My 81 Cruiser 5 had the clip and my thoughts back then and today is that it was not used to hang a build sheet. Countless examples had shown up and the question was why was it there. The paper clip was an indicator that the frame was made for the 5 speed Cruisers since rear fork spread was different than all the other cantilever frames. After this topic was hashed out over a period of time the reason was just that, a simple marking of the frame like a part number. It was installed at the time the frame was built and the dropout spacing was set. This was before the frame was even prepped for paint. That clip was used as a simple marking indicator for quick and easily identification of the frame as it runs down the line and it was never removed after the final build.
