I just read a book about him and his absolute fantastic ideas which brought an entire sport into the 20th century (and then into the 21st). Okay, that should be enough hints..

Looks like i stumped all except Jim..

How about another clue?

Yes Italian, and the wheel shown were NOT his normal line of business, but wheels of a different kind and their gear was his true passion and glory.

YES! Good Job. Campy Only!

Since my bike is even older then my car (and me!) I've always had a fascination for the Man. Since getting it back a few years ago to a drivable condition to ride with my daughter, I've learned more about him, and IMO he was a Genius when it comes to engineering. Little History: History!!

Tp clarify the wheel: He made sets of Magnesium wheels for cars (Like the Alfa shown in the picture), but also cork screw/pulls, nut cracker/openers and all sorts of other stuff. If it wasn't working right, he would think of a better way.

Otter, your turn.

I'm on the mend from major shoulder surgery and not really feeling that great...

Sorry, forgot that you were on the mend, hope you're feeling a bit better day by day. Speaking for myself, I know I don't bounce back from anything like I used to.

Roger, just saw your post, as you can see, it was Shephard.

 

[BigJimZ16]

I'm thinking that this one will be WAY too easy, but I don't have the patience to dig deeper this morning. Doing everything with the clumsiest left hand in the world is trying at best...





Have a great day guys!!! I'll watch my wifey shovel the snow...
