Luckily in the auto restoration world it seems to be common for people to b e able to honestly sell repro correctly-logoed parts as such without having swarms of evil IP lawyers descend upon them. Campagnolo not only won't make and sell their own correct replacement pieces for comsumables, they threate n legal action against those trying to fill the void they themselves created. If commonsense prevailed in any of several concievable ways none of this would be necessary. Kurt Sperry Bellingham WA fred_rednor@yahoo.com> wrote:
