When they first came out we were ripping them completely off with

Why does that not suprise me.

"Hello, how do I operate your water bottle?"

Oh, haha, Fabrizio's little joke is very amusing. But a kind poster to
this newsgroup (Hi Claire!) gave me a nice Rabobank-colours Tacx water
bottle as a gift, the first bottle I had encountered with a locking top.

It took me some time to figure out how to open it. I nearly did wreck
the top before I opened it up and took a look at the mechanism from
below.

Always a step behind Fabrizio,

That's how I ended up with the Zefal bottle.

I couldn't open the new plastc bottles I'd bought.
So I took 'em back to the LBS.
After the blonde at the bike shop finally managed to get them opened,
she suggested that I just leave 'em that way.

After reading your message I tried 'em again. You're right! They do
work like that. Thanks! I thought Fabrizio was pulling my leg.

I guess he's not so dumb after all, eh.

Since I did nearly wreck your bike, it seems like a fair trade, don't you
think?

Hey, I still really like that water bottle. Bike still works too!

Don't lend what you can't mend,

Always a step behind Fabrizio,

That's due to you guys growing up in a desolate wasteland
as far as pro road cycling goes. Now young guys like me
are very fortunate to have old farts like Moser, Saronni, and
Baronchelli around to use as mentors.
