so it looks like Dave Tiemeyer isn't in the track frame making business anymore...
bother, my bouts of un/under-employment fell poorly for me.
Oh well, there are other bikes out there.

Roll your own can be fun too, as I've written my own map tile server and client before
(this was on Android, back before this stuff was commoditized)

From what I gather, they are no longer just trying to compete with Google on search results. They are trying totally NEW things, which sounds exciting.
It's an uphill battle no doubt, but exciting if they can do it right. And more importantly, market it right.

I have a Cole wheel with Campagnolo 10s, how can I put a Shimano 10s cassette on it? Do I have to buy a freehub body?

Does the dish of the wheel change at all for campy/shimano?
I think cassette body would be part of the solution.

Sometimes end caps have to be changed. Dishing depends on the hub. The cassette body is mandatory.

and Ive changed freehubs from shim to camp before, but apparently with some wheels/hubs it can be an issue. The newer campy bodies are wider...

I was hoping there would be a quick way to switch the wheels between the two bikes. If I could buy the cassette body and just change that it might be worth it, but if the dish is different and I have to adjust derailleurs, forget it.
I should just buy another set of wheels and put parrafin on them.

I have seen a cassette with Shimano splines but Campy spacing (American Classic) but I think you need the opposite.

There was one seat left on the direct home from Chicago and teo of us trying to get home. The agent laughed and said the two of us could fight for it. I looked at the guy beside me and told him it was his and to have a great weekend. Neither he nor the agent could believe that I did that. The world would be a better place if people aren't so selfish.
