Hi BananaTugger,
.
Thanks MUCH for taking the time to answer my questions in
such detail. It is all very interesting to me as I live in
the delightful but unenlightened past of the '60s, '70s and
'80s when it comes to racing bikes (oh, and touring bikes
too). It's very tempting to add a more up-to-date racing
bike to my stable and the detail you have provided will make
doing so harder to resist. :-(
.
Thanks again.
