Ted's post reminds me of a comical situation. I was up in the Dolomites when I met Greg LeMond dealing with an olive oil lube problem. http://italiancyclingjournal.blogspot.com/2007/07/2007-maratona-dles-dolomites-part-iv.html

But, really what were the best lubes during the period we are all interested in?

Was watching "The Brady Bunch" the other day and it was the episode wherein
   Peter gets a job as a Bicycle Mechanic. It was comical as all he seemed
   to be doing was flooding the drive train with oil from an old metal squirt
   container. What I found to be clever was that the name of the bicycle s hop owner was Mr. Achinelli (a Cinelli.)
