After many years of cleaning up vintage bicycles and motorcycles, we've found these tools are the least expensive, fastest and easiest way to clean up an old bicycle or motorcycle.
Full restorations are rarely worth the cost. Use your labor and this kit to improve the grading of your vintage motorcycle, bicycle or scooter.

Looks like it can also be a signal that two "ll" s are coming. Kerry

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Then landotter soulda written, "by spe'lling 'its.'" But, actually, two "ll"s would be "llll."

Oh, good grief.
"The cycling community has lost it's greatest resource."
<i>It's</i> is the contraction for <i>it is.</i> To check, say it as "...lost <i>it is</i> greatest resource." Because this usage refers to the resource of the community, it is possessive. Lose the apostrophe. Please.
HTH TYVM HAND!
