Cycling around the world: Here's the two bike components you must have
Actually, a Land Rover Defender would be a fabulous component to have, but that would be cheating. |
One of the reasons Land Rovers became a global phenomenon during the late colonial period is not because they were the most reliable 4WD truck on the planet -- not by a long shot. It was because they were almost universally repairable; you could wire most parts together with a hanger, and you could find parts for the differential practically behind every bush. (British colonialism also meant that where one Land Rover went, there was a pretty good chance another had already been, dropping a few parts along the way.)
In heaven, the food is Italian, the women are French, and the hubs are German |
