"The Dancing Chain", by Frank J. Berto

Just received my copy of "The Dancing Chain" (2nd edition), by Frank
Berto.

"The Dancing Chain" is the story of the modern bicycle and the gadget
that makes it tick: the derailleur.

Available from Amazon.com for $34.62, which includes free super-saver
shipping.

Right, the gadget that makes it "tick" is the freewheel, not the
"derailleur," unless the derailer is misadjusted.

I followed the link on that ^^^^^ page to the derailer adjustment page,
where you need to update the proper spelling of the French word, when
you get a chance.

I've fixed it, thanks.

While spelling/typo corrections to _postings_ are the lowest form of
usnet "noise", corrections to _Web_ pages (at least to _my_ Web pages)
are always most welcome.

However, it is better to send these corrections in the form of a private
email, rather than crossposting on three Usenet groups in hope that I'll
see it.
