Anyway:
When the USCF got Borysewicz, one big improvement
he made to Greg back in '77 was to change Greg's
riding position. Eddy states Greg was pedaling
pigeon-toed and they worked to change all that.

Greg listened and did a number on the Russians and
Poles at the '80 Circuit de la Sarthe! Or have you
forgotten that?

How silly of me, of course as soon as Greg stopped pedaling with pigeon toes
he became the true champion that was hidden inside him.

Its breeding season for red herrings ?

Then I can sell you the blue CONI manual from the, what, the 1960s?
Required reading, sort of, a long time ago. Still sitting on a shelf
somewhere, near all those English picture books of the Tours and the
Classics.

The golden years.

I've pretty much pin-pointed the turning point of cycling, it was
when technology killed the sport for ever.

It was the day when the team Miko-Mercier mechanic screwed
on that damn seven cog freewheel onto the rear wheel of
Joop Zoetemelk and Sven-Ake Nilsson bikes during the 1979
Tour.

From the first seven cog freewheel things snowballed to the
point where riders are now strapping Styrofoam onto their
heads and riding those ugly plastic bikes and having radio
receivers shoved up their orifices.

Please stop blaming Greg for introducing cheesy looking
sunglasses and styrofoam helmets to the pro scene.

The villains were Miko-Mercier's Director Sportif Louis Caput
and his assistant Maurice Quintin for sneaking a 7 cog on Joop's
hub just before the '79 tour hit the climbing stages.

I'm really pleased that Demeyer won the Belfort to Evian
stage clean by keeping things real using a 6 cog freewheel.

Never forget that team TI Raleigh-McGregor's Director
Peter Post keep his guys Knetemann, Van Vliet, and
Wesemael clean that year by riding 6 cogs on the freewheel.

Who knows now, maybe Miko-Mercier did use a seven the
year before in the mountains. I will never accept the fact that
team Miko-Mercier won the 1978 TdF Overall Team
classification!

Hey hey, Fabrizio Mazzoleni, welcome back.
I've been trying to figure out who your posting style
reminded me of.

The good news is, with [censored] Pound's new Retro-Test [tm],
you don't have to! Any distasteful or unaesthetic result,
no matter how old, is subject to review and revocation!

How did you figure that out?
And I don't recognize your posting name.

I often think how nice it would be if all development would have
ended with the Super Record group. Anything post Tullio always
has a question mark on it.

I really hope that Tullio didn't have anything to do with going
to three holes in the front derailleur cage from the natural
four holes that it first came out with. I'm sure someone on
the Record-C project was to blame.

Perhaps you're a Fabrizio clone. Scary thought.
