I have read that's actually a myth. Cause by an error by someone who didn't measure enough ancient glass panes to realise that some were also thicker at the top, and some at the sides ..... they just had poor quality control back then.
We need to ask a materials scientist to be sure, but I think glass really might be as solid as it seems.

Oh it flows orright, I'm just looking at my wine glass.
It's sagged at the bottom.
I'm gonna go and turn my fork glass end for end, just to keep it right.

Trimming the headlight brackets so they will fit with the the CC top clamp. The dremel did a neat job but it still feels like butchery.

Ya Ken, the S sadly was born without ears.
I actually got some /5 brackets coming from the States that I accidentally won on ebay. 15 bucks! We won't talk about the postage.

One day I will find the headlight to go with 'em.
Speaking of astonishing prices has anyone noticed this!
