So sad to read about his passing. I learned so much info about derailleurs, gearing and other components from his writings in Bicycling Magazine during the 70s. Helped me to understand things that were mysteriously complicated. Bicycling Magazine really tried to help people learn about mechanics and bike maintenance during that time. Now all they're interested in is promoting the most expensive, elitist, top shelf high performance bikes money can buy. Which is why I no longer subscribe.
RIP Frank Berto.
