Hi Tom/all, yes I'm sure the mention about one eyed campagnolo fans has been said on more than one ocassion, just as much as one could say the same about MASI etc, we all have out little pet likes and dislikes, life would be boring if we all liked the same, and all rode the same bicycles.

I liked the idea of the Truvativ bolts, looked up eBay, normally a good place to look for things, but unable to locate, are they still made?...regards wayne davidson Invers NZ........
