I've enjoyed reading the archives so far, perhaps 20% done. Fat and fifty, I took up bike riding again. I have owned a bike on and off over the years, until now only one 10-speed bought as a soldier in Germany in 1970. After reading Sheldon Brown's Varsity article I have been fooling with three Schwinn Continentals for a year. I spend most of my time looking for straight wheels. I'd never paint a bike. Once I tried to save an old chain; now I just replace them. I mess endlessly with tires, cables and brakes. I know exactly how much they are worth. I have never held a Campagnolo part but you guys have made me curious.
