....I am missing those interminable Delta brake threads. Is it because
the Japanese who always have much more money than the Americans have bought them all and do not bother with usenet? Does Jobst speak Japanese? |

I'll start one again. have Deltas on my Merckx and geee, they do stop me. Look good too... Well if Jobst isn`t about I too will admit to owning some, don`t have a license for them either. They are Century finish but not for long, the anodisers are to make them dark green like all the other parts I own. I weigh 160lb`s and they seem to stop me fine. ******* to set up though. I do believe Japan will sink under the weight of imported Italian alloy. My compatriots are turning out their sheds to ebay the stuff. |

I understand the Japanese eat slimy rotten soybeans, too. http://www.thejapanesepage.com/natto.htm At least the rotten soybeans are supposed to be good for them. Chalo Colina |

I'm told that natto is best eaten when one has a serious case of sinus congestion. If you can smell the bergamot in Earl Grey tea, your sinuses are too clear to eat natto. (One of the people I know who sells Japanese snack foods at anime conventions made the mistake of picking up a case of natto once. He put it out for sale, and damned if somebody didn't buy one, open it, and stink up the whole area. It was *politely* suggested by a number of the other dealers that he really should reserve that stuff for outdoor venues. It was *less* politely suggested by the hotel and the convention staff that he should hide it somewhere very, very safe, and not admit that he had any of it for the rest of the weekend.) Some brands of sardines and some types of cheese are nearly as bad, though. -- Typoes are a feature, not a bug. Some gardening required to reply via email.

Jesuis, that link should be censored. Nearly put me off my steak pie. I can imagine some fellow from the house of Nippon chewing on this stuff while he puts sniping bids in for yet another pair of Delta calipers. Cursing in his language that one of you rbt Americans has already placed a larger bid. When I visit Italy next month I will view the Japanese tourists in a whole new light, wife patted on the head and told to shop, hubby off to hunt down Campag NOS items from sleepy bike shops. |
