Quizz - July 25
Brake levers have changed shape over the years and there have indeed
been some eyesores lately like a certain Japanese brand which is popular with those who can't afford the best Italian gear or used under suffrance by teams whose sponsorship arrangements compel them to use it. (Campag wears in - Shimano wears out, right?) But what characteristic in particular made the Bartali lever stand out in a crowd? -- Davey Crockett - Even if the New World Order puppets in Westminster are thinking of changing the National Anthem because it might offend some RagHead or Muslim, there are thousands of Welshmen who will never change theirs. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wRRY...eature=related Vote the Tories and Labour out. Join a Nationalist Party with your Blood Brothers If you don't like our Anthem; go back where you came from. And the Irish will be no push-over for the New World Order either http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dd5Dc...eature=related |

Wait, I thought this was a Nashbar by Microshift reference! | But what characteristic in particular made the Bartali lever stand out | in a crowd? | | Tape on the lever? Nope Going by the photos I can find online, I'm going to take a wild guess and say the grip was sculpted with "knuckles" to fit between his fingers (like the texture on the back of a car steering wheel in the good old days) This is the largest version I can find online of the classic Bartali e Coppi photo: http://www.ilpianetalibro.it/upload/.../chinnici1.jpg It's so big that the full res shows the halftoning artifacts of the scanned book cover. There you can compare the levers of Gino and Fausto. -- Ryan Cousineau http://www.wiredcola.com/ "In other newsgroups, they killfile trolls." "In rec.bicycles.racing, we coach them." |
