That's all very well, but I really want to know
why Brule is doing the Macarena.

Huret

| How the heck - and precicely - did he change the clanger

You will notice that, unlike most of the changers of that era, there
is no lever on the seat tube to flip from the big to the small ring
and vv.

Huret had a wired system. The levers for both front and rear
derailleurs were mounted on the right hand side of the down tube in an
assembly that had a longish inner lever that shifted the rear
derailleur and a small outer lever that shifted the front derailleur.

| The Brand of his Crankset

Giradengo

It was the first, I believe, aluminium crankset after the war. Davey
snapped two the first week and upgraded to those Italian steel cranks
from Campagnolo.

| The MODEL name of the Brake Levers - Not the BRAND

The levers are Mafac "Racer" model

| The Brand of the Brake stirrups (interested coz Davey dunno this one)

They look like GB or possibly Benelux, but I don't know for sure. I'll
go for Benelux because I had GB and don't recognize them.

Anybody???

| Whe he isn't using brake stirrups that match the brake levers

The Mafac Racer brakes were centre-pull, but to use the stirrups you
needed braze-ons on your forks - front and rear like cyclo-cross
rigged bikes today. So most used a mismatched stirrup - like we didn't
know **** about purchase or mechanical advantage or suchlike in those
days but I did get the stirrups when I got a custom bike from Ted
Gerrard Cycles along with an "Independent" contract and they were
really impressive.

The continuing occupation of Iraq by US forces guarantees a mass death
rate in excess of 10,000 people per month with half that number dying
at the hands of US forces - a carnage so severe and so concentrated as
to equate it with the most heinous mass killings in world history.

Yea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Try your search engines on this one ;)

Davey needs a win once in a while, and since it's a long time since he
won anything on the road, RBR will have to serve as a substitute.

Ninety-two years ago this week, our kith and kin were dying in their
thousands daily as the Battle of the Somme rumbled on! Did our
ancestors give their lives so that traitors like Gordon Brown could
sell the Nation down the River? VOTE NATIONALIST.

It's relatively easy for anyone who was around at that time because we
nearly all had that gear or envied those that did.

It wasn't until a year or two later that the lads started saying
"Firk the war, I'm buying that Eye-Tie gear anyway."

The only way to win is not to play.
