Their track pumps are a different flavor of horse than their frame pumps. The trash is the proper place for them. -- David L. Johnson __o | Become MicroSoft-free forever.

Besides, we all know how corperations that import bicycle accessories from tawain never go out of business, get bought out, or get dropped from the selection at the local bicycle shop. We also know how injection molded plastic parts last such a long time under cyclical high stress loads and how the models remain the same from year to year guarenteeing the availability of replacement parts from the manufacturer for years to come. Pump manufacturers also never tinker around with the design and produce a few turkeys that never work right or fall apart within 1 year of usage. Speaking of durability your 1974 Campy headset, much like a Silca pump, is simply too heavy, overbuilt and extremely clunky to adjust and use. The perfect headset is a lightweight integrated one with proprietary parts like the kind Cannondale put in some of their high end framesets. Cannondale always had the best business planning of all the bicycle manufacturers and never made an expensive product on wheels they would no longer would be able to support. -- --- Eric Yagerlener remove "usenet" from email address to reply |
