I love my Pop. I needed a weird non-standard tiny bit of part to make my new frameset work and he got it for me! I got a new frameset that requires a 1-1/4" steerer clamp rather than the standard 1-1/8".
I thought I'd be able to *get by* with a cut-to-size hardware store plumbing piece:
This is a 5mm section of hydrostatic pump expulsion pipe. It's made of really hard plastic and would probably work. But my Pop knows a guy who- for a bottle of home-made wine- machined me a much better part out of steel to within .5/1000 tolerance. Bam!
I love old dudes with skills.
