I took a scan of some more of the lugs in my hoard. The shame of it is that the ones I'd love to have more of are often just singletons whereas I've got...

Seeing beautiful restorations like those Chris is very inspiring and is very much a boost to flagging spirits. It's been very grey weather with lots of heavy...

Hi Sam, there are two pointed stay inserts in the scan, one is placed so the hole to fit the seat lug can be seen and the other not especially well placed in...
Please ignore what I said about the stay inserts Sam, - I understand what you meant now (blush). The McLean is a lovely bicycle and I've got it as my desktop...
French death stems--was AVA the only stem with the reputation or were there other stems that were prone to breakage? I just purchased a late 60's Bobet/Mercier...
Sam, could you post your recipe for your leather saddle restorer? I know you posted this a while back but when I did a search for leather saddles, I got every...

Sam your pictures are very nice. This bike was bought second hand in London in 1946 and looks more like your second scan but has only one rod brake with no...
Thanks Sam. I recently picked up a couple of Ideales that need some attention. Actually 'picked up' is a misnomer--they followed me home and are now in the...
yes! I have an older saddle that was abused (before I got it!) and I have tried Proofhide sofar, but not much else. I would LIKE to know what to do to get it...
