Re: 164 S Conversion - DeDion Tube Pivot on Milano

[Mark Denovich <mark@domain.elided>]

From what I've heard it's not well suited to the street (noisy, 
vibrations, susceptible to dirt/water/etc), but does dramatically 
improve handling.

A better solution (for the street) is probably a polyurethane bushing. 
 Superpro, an austrailian company, makes a poly deDion bush.   AlfaBill 
used to sell them, but he's out.   The part number is SPF1830K.

http://www.superpro.com.au/html/ci_sp_int.htm lists their international 
distributors.   I haven't contacted the US distributor yet, but I plan 
to at some point.   Right now the deDion bush is still pretty far down 
on my to-do list.
