HI Stephen:

Well, I hate to break this to ya, but ultimately, anything designed and made by man can fail if used long enough. 'Course, that may be hundreds or even thousands of years in some cases!! ;-)

Darn, now I'm thinking of not driving my 161,000-mile car anymore, because sometimes they blow up and burn you to a crisp.....

Come to think of it, the roof on my house *could* cave in on me at any moment without warning!

Food for thought....

Cheers,

Greg Parker A2 MI USA Earth

Where I, along with Chuck, will still take all old Campy GS/R/NR/SR parts that anyone is worried about and recycle them properly....
