    Default May your wishes be granted

    Curse? Blessing? Yup.

    This bad boy showed up and got tucked into the garage. $150 at a local machine shop auction for a 4x3 chunk of very flat granite. I was secretly hoping I'd lose. I didn't. Thankfully I have an understanding wife.

    When I die I'm gonna have the thing engraved and rock the world's flattest headstone.

    Useful for attaching a bottom bracket post. Now all I need is a bottom bracket post.

    Flatmo.

    Keep an eye out. I looked for at least six months before I stumbled across a local auction. Even though it was located about 8 miles away it still it cost more to get it delivered than to actually buy the thing. :-)
