Title: it was worth the wait.
Post by: GregS on June 21, 2015, 06:04:15 AM
i checked clist chicago about this time yesterday and found a $15 ulime green SJ.  emailed the seller and was on my way after i finished my coffee.

see, this isn't a good deal in chicago if you have to drive $5-10 in gas for it.  but it was close to me so why not?

The ULine is a very close match to the C&B but there are true C&B SJ's out there as well - only in the "Gold" variant. 8)
