The Hilsen I put up for sale at the same time as this generated lots of
interest and sold within a week, while the Custom only got the question

I'm thinking maybe the custom was priced too high. I thought there would be
more interest, but of course a custom isn't really a cust
I have a similar affinity towards my 6” steel rule. It’s metric on one side
and imperial on the other.
It is my most reached for tool by a long shot. Since I don’t own a vernier

a tube or rod and then measure the opening
I agree. I bought some calipers years ago and I grab them way more often than I
expected to. A very useful tool to have.

Anybody who cares about bikes enough to work on them should have an
inexpensive vernier caliper. They are <$10 at any hardware store. Anybody
who cares enough about working on stuff around the house should have an

Thanks for the insight Bill! I don't own a caliper so until I make my way
to the LBS, we won't be sure...

I got an interesting note from a fellow member:
