Brian,
    I really hope you aren't referring to my messages. I tried very hard to express my beliefs without calling anyone "stupid" or "foolish".
     As I said a the outset, I don't believe it was impossible, just unlikely to my way of thinking. It would be interesting to see the original Italian version of the interview, in order to glean just what Signor De Rosa meant when he said he was "already building a bicycle for the next day." (I'm paraphrasing here.)
     It's bee nmy impression that, if we do so politely, we can have disagreements in this forum. After all, we weren't discussing something that can be measured, like the length of a bottom bracket spindle...
