It's the way of the world now, when a 22 year old with a CadCam
software can displace an experienced engineer. Hell, we just
changed a worn 53t 2009 Campagnolo chainring on a Record carbon
crank which entailed _both_ chainrings _and_ the bolt set for the
2011 style which are available, the 2009 being incompatible and
unavailable. And Campagnolo is not the worst of it.

Thank goodness I have four sets of TA cranks and over a dozen
unused chain rings. Those should see me out.

I'm still using my Ritchey Logic 110 mm cranks on almost all my
bikes. Ought to be rings available for those for a long time.

And, LOL, 8sp Shimano cassettes. Seems like the dark ages now, what
with 11sp being de rigeur, except for one bike with a 7sp freewheel
which I guess is the darker ages. But it's a 135 mm OLN and thus has
almost zero dish- same spokes since 1996 with no breakages so far.
Sooner or later...

Not a "disc" brake in sight in my house (except that rim brakes are
disc brakes). One bike with brifters. No CFRP, no AL or Ti frames.
All Brooks saddles of one sort or another. Tan wall tires, polished
rims.

I'm not keeping up with the times, I guess. What a Luddite! But
hey, I do have one of those fancy newfangled ISIS BBs on one of my
bikes. Wait, those are 15-20 years old too...

By the way - I have an 8 speed cassette that still has wear on it. It
is in an Ultegra box but it looks like it's a DuraAce. I also have a
DuraAce Triple front derailleur, a rear DuraAce derailleur with short
arms (probably 9 speed I would imagine it works the same as the 8),
and one of those toothed DuraAce bottom brackets used for triples.

If you want them you can get my email from whoever is the moderator
here and send me an email. They're yours for the price of shipping.
Though these days that's high enough.

That's very kind, Tom. Thanks for the offer!
