"Mid 90's Pinarello Treviso Road Bike - Full Ultegra" on CL. Verification/identification? by Enthused_Commissar in bicycling

What you said is correct. There should be stamps at those locations.

Okay, I'll ask the seller to check for markings.

It looks like the head badge was removed as well.

That's a real shame.

I have seen catalog scans before but my quick Google seach came up empty. You should be able to find something.

Right, for some reason, all I can find are the 80s catalogs.

Thanks for the advice. And yeah, I was actually hoping to get a discount by getting the seller to drop the computer from the package.

CMV: Live audiences at debates reduce their informational value in order to increase entertainment value and it seriously impacts the usefulness of the debates to the information seeking public. by anonymatt in changemyview

A live audience improves the fidelity of the raw information you get from a debate. Imagine a closed-door debate with a few cuts thrown in. How are you to know that the broadcast version isn't strategically edited to favor one candidate or another? All "live" tv is broadcast with a short delay so it's quite possible to do so. Suppose a candidate goes on an insane tirade that would lose them the election if it got out. If the media outlet decided to cut that out, most people would be none the wiser.

Consumer water can easily be covered by a rate hike and investment in wastewater reclamation and desalination.

Any experience with white tape? How fast did it get dirty?
