  1. Sticky Thread Sticky: Your Catch of the Day / Saved from the Dump!

    Some people don't value vintage bicycles as much as we do. They sometimes sell what we would give our left arm for, for pennies. Or they may even throw them on the trash pile! Show us your screamin good deals, and the bikes you've saved from the compactor. Yes, make us all jealous, it only...

  2. Sticky Thread Sticky: eBay / CraigsList finds - "Are you looking for one of these!?" Part II

    Wow! I just might be able to store another 25 bikes, but how to transport them? I'd have to rent a u-haul. Let me talk to my wife about this. If it's stuff like English three speeds, I might be able to make a profit on them. People around here want commuting bikes.

    How might I undo this new CV interface? I'm finding the forum very difficult to use and I'm greatly unhappy with it. I'll pay the membership fee to have the old interface back.

    Lately we have seen more than a few sales types of postings in the Classic & Vintage forum. While we are a bit more forgiving when it comes to trades, barter, request for (or notices of) PMs (or sent) there is a limit. All for sale postings have to be done in the Market Place forum, and yes,...

  1. Sourcing smaller chainrings for a 1972 Campy Record crankset

    I have a 1972 road bike with a Campagnolo Record 52 & 49t half step chainring combination on the crankset. I want to keep the crankset but improve the range of the gearing, the bike has a 14-26 5 speed freewheel which I plan to keep. The dropouts are 121mm spacing. Can I move the inner ring to...

  2. Sturmey-Archer AW below 2:1

    I've heard that Sturmey-Archer recommends that the input gearing of their hubs should not be lower than 2:1, i.e. 48-24, 46-23, or whatever. Otherwise, excessive torque (I guess) can supposedly damage the internal gearing. In other words, since 2:1 translates to about 52-54 inches (depending on...

  3. Show your Serotta!

    So I just recently learned that Serotta is out of Saratoga Springs, NY. Seeing as how Upstate is near'n'dear to me heart (Ithaca, really), I'd like to start obsessing on finding a good old Serotta and of course love some visuals to inspire the notion. :rolleyes:

    So I have a shogun bike from the 70s, high tensive steel with bad components on it. I'm about 200 lbs and want to upgrade the crank so It won't bend and rub against other parts and so the pedal arm won't fall off.

  14. Bike Size Preference: Small Bike v. Large, or both

    I think it has to be undisputed that, from a fit and performance standpoint, bike size is very much a matter of personal choice. It is a functional consideration and I have no more patience for those self-appointed experts who view fit as a matter of style -- whether low, no spacers road bike...
