I am not sure how much older information is dropped in each addition, but
I do see that the newer Editions are consitantly get thicker. I think thier
up to over 500 or so pages now. The 3rd and 4th are only about 250 pages
long.
The 1st Edition came out around 1974 and the last one, the 6th Edition was
in 1995, and I've seen a 1996 suppliment added. I doubt much road bike info
was dropped from the 1st to the 5th Ed. I have the 3rd, 4th , & 5th
editions, and they look about the same, with only a few models of rims added
to the later versions along with several revisions and some new hub specs
listed.
I agree, that for most purposes here, you probably won't ever need
anything much later than the 3rd or 4th editions. The later ones do have
some revisions, and added hub information, but most of it's for mountain
bikes, threadless stems, and later index systems.
The info you need the most really never changes, mainly thread sizes and
spoke charts. Most of us are probably pretty able to handle most component
repair and adjustments, and most components are pretty similiar. The only
odd exceptions are those really old gadgets we've never seen before that pop
up from time to time, but even Sutherland's is no help with those.
