1) Front derailleur - unneeded, simply a ploy creating by marketing geeks to increase profit. Solution, reach down and flick the chain with your finger.
2) Pneumatic tires - who came up with this joke? And their spokemen is the marshmallow man from Ghostbusters..? puhlease. Rivendell is coming out with a sweet set of wooden tires in '06.
