Why yes I have seen one like that. I have one in my garage attic. The rear axle pictured is a differential so you get two wheel drive without forcing 1 wheel...
So, it is a differential... I wonder about the mechanical efficiency of a planetary hub, then a differential, and two chains. If I had the disposable bux right...
Well, the differential was actually for the high wheeled trikes.. From: Bicycle_Restoration@yahoogroups.com [mailto:Bicycle_Restoration@yahoogroups.com] On...
Roy, you panniers look great on your Ross. Also, here's a link to some ready-made canvas bags. Not super cheap but way less than the "designer" bags ...
How many different bikes do you ride? not collect or stashed in the for a back up... bikes that get rode once a week or more. I am just wondering I have my...
I have my everyday commuting bike, then I have a Schwinnn 7-speed beach cruiser, and I'm working on resurrecting and '79 Schwinn Varsity, but in a 5-speed...
When it comes down to it about 4-5. Sometimes you ppick up something and you ride it a lot at first, then back to you fav. My latest one is a Gitane...
Ok,can't include the Schwinn LeTour Tourist (yet) because it hasn't been on more than a shakedown cruise. I can't include the 78 Ross Signature because my...
Just one. I've given up trying to ride two bikes. I couldn't get the pedaling thing down and always wound up falling between the two and getting a bad case of...

It's called "ghost riding" where you ride one bike and bring another along. steer your bike with one hand and hold the other by the stem. Watch out for down...
... I've got 10 bikes that are "riders", 5 Raleighs, a '50 Norman, a Jack Taylor and 3 I built myself. Three of them are permanently in the garage, for short...
I have only 2 bikes at the moment and I ride them both regularly. It is a rare day that I don't take at least a short spin to the market or the library or the...
Anyone like me and have a bike sitting there for a few years that you keep saying, "yeah i am gonna get that one on the rode this year" With my its my '75...
If you're having trouble finding spokes where you are, just send me the lengths, and what guage and I can order them for you. I also have a spoke threader if...
Steve, Only regular sizes? Or stuff like .099" with 3-56 threads? From: Bicycle_Restoration@yahoogroups.com [mailto:Bicycle_Restoration@yahoogroups.com] On...
I'll have to check if the spoke thread roller will go that big, It's only supposed to be 14 and 15 gage, but it might just expand enough. I'd have to check at...

I've started tearing into an older Mercier and am trying to date it. The rear derailler is a Campy Gran Sport, and I'm guessing that it is the place to start...
... And all this time I thought that when I saw someone riding one and bringing another along--steering with one hand--it was called "stealing." Maybe...
Re: Bike sitting there. Hoo boy..The Signature and Paragon sat in side rooms for 11 years (and neither is yet fully togeather!). It's only taken 18 months to...
I was riding my mtb and had ghost shifting problems. I tried adjusting the barrel adjusters (on the fly) and no help so I stopped to visually inspect the drive...
You can make a hanger alignment tool with a derailler mounting bolt and some square aluminum or steel tube from the hardware store, and a long regular bolt for...
Ditto to what Steve said. My additional 2 cents: If the problems occurred rather suddenly I'd guess that you bent or broke the derailler or hanger in a bash of...
