    The Wholly C.

    There once was a Coloradoan aptly named Peter from Boulder (Which gives a pueblo to the south a cold
    shoulder). He may be an anti-Shimano Ayatollah (Alias "Qui si parla Campagnolo"😉, But I hope to
    C.-his-holm 'ere ere I grow older.

    'Ere in the Centennial state, the People's Republic of Boulder in the north, dominated by the
    University of Colorado and unimaginatively named for a rock, is often at odds with the Hispanic
    worker's paradise of Pueblo in the south, dominated by a steel mill and named by an unimaginative
    bi-lingual department of redundancy.

    Actually, Peter seems like a nice guy (for a Boulderite who sells fancy-pants Italian bikes,
    possibly on commission from the Vatican), so I should stop by his shop some day and see if he'll
    sell me a set of his special flat-irons:

    Thou art Peter and upon these rocks you may have climbed.

    On Pearl just down from the mall The R'public's best shop is small Serves el pueblo so well That
    we'll surely soon yell "Great wheels, great service, for all!"

    Vecchio's is definately a cool shop. Customers are allowed in the service area, which is open to the
    rest of the shop. They have Italian lessons in the winter (or at least they used to), and all sorts
    of cool books and gifts. And despite being a admitted Shimano fan who rides clinchers, I don't need
    to worry about being detained for counter-revolutionary crimes. Phew!

    Dear Dave,

    Ah, the sound of a groan man in agroany, just what any pun-lover longs to hear!

    Hope you looked at the flat-irons.
