On a related note, every time I check my mail, I have to go and fish my CR list mails out of the trash because I have "Hotmail" as a wild card item on my spam kill list. So much spam comes out of Hotmail that it was easier to just set up the word "Hotmail" as a filter than to define a huge list of other filters. Apparently, there are list members on CR who post with Hotmail addresses. I would also recommend another freebie service as you are not in good company with what is such a major source of spam. I bet a lot of people have "Hotmail" as a spam filter. Do you want your e-mail to always end up in the trash?

Secondly, those little French front and rear racks that bolt onto Mafac brakes, that Bicycle Classics may have a few of... does anyone know if these will fit Weinmann centerpull brakes? Not having any Mafac brakes in the family, I don't know if the distance between the pivot bolts is the same or not. The Mafac brakes I've seen look much wider than Weinmann's.
