I had an oval chainring in a Sachs-Huret groupset on a Peugeot bike. It was supposed to make changing derailleur gears smoother and faster, make my pedalling more powerful, and make me more attractive to women than Robert Redford. It did only the last.

Apparently, your oval chainring also caused hallucinations.

Speaking of hallucinations and women . . . Frank, are you going to the Convention? Tonight is the night! I think Melania is going to finish up with a pole dance!

Pole dance? Sounds great.
I've danced with some hot Polish girls.

How shall we ever get the bicycle utopia* going if you fellows are more interested in Polish girls doing pole dances than in the fearful asymmetry of Frankie-boy's oval chainring?

How can adult cyclists not know that yesterday's abysmal failure is today's hot bicycle component? It is written that thus it has always been, and so forth shall ever be.**
