Hmmph. I was not aware of this trend. But then until recently I've been stuck in the 70's. You learn something new every day. Thank you.

Speaking of learning something new, I spent the better part of an hour reading over Suthernland's pages on Campy spindles and now I are one. Or at least I think I are one. BF member bikemore has a spindle I can use (thanks, bm!).

Other than that I made no real progress today, alas. Work and commute time (which includes 25mi round trip by bike) took up most of the evening.
