Here are some more information for Gear Shifter Scuff:
Although the first motorcycle was invented over a hundred years ago and has seen many major changes since its first inception, one item which seems to have been forgotten and left out of the technology advancement is the motorcycle gear shifter lever.
And, it's this motorcycle gear shifter lever that, after all these years, has never failed in ruining every motorcyclists' boots and shoes by leaving those tale-tale ugly black shifter marks on them.
Amazing as it sounds, up until now no one has done anything as far as changing or upgrading the gear shifter lever to prevent this irritating problem - which occurs during gear 'up-shifting' actions.
The other problem with the current hard rubber that comes standard on all motorcycle gear shifters is that many motorcycle riders also may experience discomfort to the upper left foot during long rides having numerous 'up shifting' actions.
While there are a couple of products out on the market today which do sell slip on boot/shoe protectors, the drawback with these is that they have to be placed on and removed from the riders shoes each time the rider starts or finishes riding. These products also don't offer the rider any type of cushion or comfort while riding.
However, motorcycle riders are in luck now because all of this is about to change. Shiftcush, the revolutionary company which invented the product bearing the same name, designed their Motorcycle Gear Shifter Cushion exactly to prevent all of the above from occurring.
The best part about Shiftcush is that their new easy-to-install gear shifter cushion not only prevents shoes from being ruined but also offers unrivaled shifting comfort by providing an air cushioned padding between the riders foot and gear shifter lever.
This revolutionary air cushion is made by the same technology as used in the Nike Air-Max tennis shoes.
Thanks to Shiftcush, now motorcycle riders can say good-bye to black/ugly shoe marks and any shifter discomfort caused by gear 'up-shifting!'

The Exotically Designed New 2008 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder
The new 2008 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder is a combination of exotic charm and driven to thrill design. The Eclipse Spyder has a high-tech convertible top and offered at an outstanding value. It is equipped with standard 18-inch alloy wheels, especially designed Mitsubishi muffler, SIRIUS® Satellite Radio with standard Rockford-Fosgate® Premium Audi system that comes with six months complimentary service. All the Mitsubishi Eclipse models for 2008 are equipped with standard Tire pressure Monitoring System (TPMS).
The new 2008 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder is offered in two trim levels namely the GS model which is powered by a 162 hp 2.4 liter four cylinder engine that is mated to a five-speed manual transmission or an optional four speed-automatic. The 3.8 liter V6 engine of the Spyder GT revs up 260 hp and 258 lb-ft of peak torque and is teamed with a standard six-speed manual transmission or an optional five-speed automatic.
The Mitsubishi MIVEC or Mitsubishi Innovative Valve Timing Electronic Control system is featured on both the four-cylinder and the V6 engines that optimize engine efficiency and power across a broad engine speed range. The Eclipse automatic transmissions feature Sportronic™ shifters that enable manual gear shift control.
The 2008 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder’s compact platform and specially fitted Mitsubishi mufflers provides the four-wheel independent suspension with a sporty and comfortable handling. The Eclipse’s fabric top folds automatically and disappears under a flush-fitting powered tonneau cover in as little as 19 seconds. The multi-layered construction provides the Eclipse with a full head liner that gives it with a quiet, snug interior feeling likened to that of a coupe when it is raised. The glass rear window of the Eclipse features a defroster that removes ice or frost especially during winter season.
The exotic design theme of the Eclipse continues into its interior. Its wave-form instrument panel houses easy-to-reach controls and features motorcycle-inspired gauges and ice blue LED nighttime illumination. Three interior schemes are offered such as the Hi-Q Sport (medium gray), Avante Garde (terra cotta), and Techno-Sport (dark charcoal).
The Eclipse’s high-back front bucket seats reflect Mitsubishi’s involvement in motorsports. It features integrated, open head restraints that provide the Eclipse with a sporty look and enhanced rear visibility. The steering wheel is made even more special with the addition of audio system remote controls.
Both of the Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder models are equipped with standard 650 watt Rockford-Fosgate® premium audio system with AM/FM/CD/MP3 playback capability that includes a six-disc, in-dash CD changer with SIRIUS® Satellite Radio. The audio system was specially engineered to provide the Eclipse with a unique automatic sound equalization. There is also an 8-in subwoofer which is integrated into the rear seat to provide deep bass sound and also made as additional design element for the 2008 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder.

What model is my bike and what is it worth?
This bike was given to me a couple of years ago.
On the frame it says Colnago Columbus.
It has Dia-Compe brakes and 12 speed Campagnolo gearing with Shimano friction shifters.
Its an old bike and of average condition - some scratches and scuffs, but otherwise fine.
Here's a photo of it http://www.flickr.com/photos/47841854@N08/4378699382/
Thanks!
Columbus is the company that made the frame tubing, there were several grades of Columbus steel tubing use to make bikes at that time, SL being the most commonly used tubeset for quality steel bikes. The Columbus sticker on the bike should also indicate which tubeset Colnago used to build your bike. It is doubtful that the components are original on your bike. Normally, a bike would use components all made by the same manufacturer, your bike has parts from 3 different companies, so it may have been built up by someone from parts they had on hand. If this was the case, your bike is not really a particular model, just a Colnago frame with a random groupset. There might, however be some other model designation on the frame that would give further information
Forester in the great Outdoor
It must be that summer has finally arrived, cuz my mind wanders off into the wilds on occasion. Usually it has more fun than I do, so this time I went with it...in a 2010 Subaru Forester.[...]
Thanks for visiting!
