Question: Title: Not even adaquate for older, round downtubes Product review: These Sunlite/Pyramid BB stands have a notorious habit of shifting under the bicycle it is suspending, rendering the bike ever so slightly angled to one side or another - but just enough that a misguided poke will send the whole mess flying to the floor.I once exhibited a series of vintage and modern lightweight road bicycles at a show wherein these stands were provided by the event organizers. I had the foresight to bring chainstay/seatstay hook stands (even then, not the best - crank mount stands are my preference) for my personal bikes, which served their purpose as intended during the event. On the other hand, we nearly lost a Cinelli MASH to one of these BB-shell stands, and had a few close calls with the other bikes as well.I might use one of these in an emergency, but I would not rely on it. Neither would I expect the vinyl-coated hook to refrain from damaging a thin, 1970's-era paint job - or a current-era clearcoat, for that matter.

Question: Title: A big disappointment. Product review: This book is not really a biography of mathematician Paul Erdos [pronounced: "Air-dish"] (1913-1996), who specialized in number theory. Instead, it's a disorganized collection of anecdotes about Erdos, most of which portray him as absent-minded, sloppy, and demanding as a house guest. There's almost no discussion of his achievements in mathematics. Erdos lived only for his work, yet this book considers everything except his work. The reader doesn't learn why Erdos was famous -- only that he was an eccentric genius. To expand the book to over 200 pages, the author included largely irrelevant material on the history of mathematics. This book was a waste of time and effort.

Question: Title: From BYRDS Fan's in CALIFORNIA Product review: This CD had some of the best songs we have heard by THE BYRDS. Some of the songs had the sounds of the early years of the (four members) BYRDS Group. Some of the songs were also some of worst songs we think we have heard by THE BYRDS. The songs by Roger McGuinn's Thunderbyrd Band sounded the best and the last three songs sung by McGuinn/Hillman/ Clark were like the BYRDS of the late 60's and 70's. The sound quality was not that great. If you are a truly a BYRDS fan you probably would miss out if you did own this set.
