Hi Sheldon, more questions on this; Rich1; I think i got it now, and correct me if i am wrong here. I deduce from your site [nice technical info btw] that the...
Anybody ever see the Abbott and Costello routine of Who's on First? I read the last entry and came away muttering like the AFLAC duck exiting the barber shop...
Hi Sheldon, ok so i think i got it now, and correct me where i'm wrong here; The letter designation was orginally for the tire width, then later, the same...
As a yank living in the UK it pleases me to find that many Brits use Sheldon's website. My mates that I cycle with constantly refer to it to solve mechanical...
Hi Bruce, I lived in the UK in 1990 and petrol was about 60p/liter [$4/gal] as i recall, how much is it now? just wondering, Rich ... use ... it to ... forums ...
I've been offered a very early Masi Gran Corsa completely re-enameled by Cycleart. I've had a few late & mid 70 Gran Criteriums, but I'm unfamiliar with the...
The frame looks like it's a Cleveland Welding frame, but the headbadge does look like a Hiawatha. I don't know if Cleveland Welding made bikes for Gambles...
Yes, that's about right. It's hovering around 99-pence a liter and a few stations have gone over a pound. At $2.06 to the pound it puts it over $8. I ride...
Hi Bruce, you mentioned: Bruce; Yes, that's about right. It's hovering around 99-pence a liter and a few stations have gone over a pound. At $2.06 to the...

Hi Rich, Fortunately I don't need to drive much as I work from home. I put the miles on my bike with club rides and 'audax' rides, as they call them here - I ...
I'm about to acquire an old 5-speed Schwinn 'Suburban', and will not so much restore it, as in original, but rather, convert it to my first singlespeed road...
It would be great to put a coaster brake rear hub on the Suburban. I have a later 70's one with the FF system. fun bikes. Gary ... From: Eric Phillips To:...
Man, that was fast! Yep, I read that they used 28 tpi instead of the usual 24 tpi threads on their older one-piece cranks. Why? Who knows? Maybe just to keep...
Ehhh....I'm not a fan of coaster brakes. I like being able to back-rotate my cranks to a good startup position when stopped, and not have to worry about crank...
... Dave, You might think it works that way but it doesn't. Most of what you gain in mechanical leverage you lose in bio-mechanical leverage as your knees are...
I don't really want to convert it to 3-piece crank, as strange as that may sound. I kinda like one-piece, for simplicity and the 'vintage-y vibe'. As long as...
Without knowing the serial number, I think I've determined that this bike I'm getting is a 1975 Suburban, because according to these databooks, the only year...
I see your point. I do know, though, that it just 'felt better' to me to have that longer crank on my beach cruiser. I'm not a 'performance' cyclist, per se,...

... That does not sound strange at all, to me anyway. Sounds very, very cool, and quite in character for this group. Yours, Forbes - Forbes Bagatelle-Black,...
