OK so a friend of mine told be that Coppi coverted to the more modern deraileur before Bartali, as is evident from a picture that I have of the 49 Tour, so Bartali had a 2 speed and Coppi had 4? This reminds me of the 1983 discussion. Has anyone out there ridden the earlier 2 speed type? Is it easy to change gears without stopping? From what I've read, you have to move the rear axle and backpeddle? http://www.chiamamicitta.com/n316/pirroni.htm

Life is better on a bicycle that behind a computer screen.
