Congratulations on your new group Forbes :-) These fenders (mudguards in my part of the world) are going to be a boon to anyone restoring an older English...
Hi Annie, I am SO glad you joined this group. As you know, I am lost without my "better half" ;). You certainly know more than I do about classic roadsters. ...
... Thanks! It should be a wild ride, but I am looking forward to it. I like that mixte too. I think it will be a fun bike! Yours, - Forbes Bagatelle-Black ...
Hello Forbes, I love the work bike on your website....... http://cyclesvalhalla.com/images/334_LG_Bike_80_Percent.jpg ...... only I'm wondering if you intend...
Brilliant news Forbes! Congratulations on the brand new addition to your family. I'm so glad to hear that he's a healthy wee fellow and that his Mum is doing...
Congrats to you and your wife!!! One of the most memorable times for me was the day my son learned to ride his bike on his own.. From that point into the next...
Hi Gang, I am getting LOTS of interest in the delivery/low gravity (LG) bike, more than everything else combined. http://i12.tinypic.com/30trvig.jpg So... I...
Hi Forbes, the old small front wheeled grocers bike I used to ride during a holiday job waaaaay back when I was very much younger than I am now had stirrup...
... Good points, Annie, and well said. I guess the important distinction for me is, where does "nice" end and "magic" begin. F'rinstance. My main contact at...
The alloy rims seem to have far more stopping power in wet weather and, while this item is a biggy in terms of cost, I'd probably go for one of the new shimano...
... Good points, rich. I am working on spec's for a "deluxe" model, and I think I will definitely include a dynohub, now that you mention it. Yours, Forbes ...
Hi Forbes. Just joined the group, but of course I know you from bob and kog. Here's a shout-out for chainguards like the one on the French style lady's mixte...
... I'm getting a sample of those chainguards in February. If it checks out okay, I will get a boatload in April. Welcome to the group! And thanks for all...
Hi Gang, I recently got a query about 28" tires for roadster restoration. I will be getting in some 28" tires and tubes in the first order, but I am looking...
Hi Gang, I spent a lot of time over the last few days ironing out details for two different frames which Cycles Valhalla will be getting from a factory in...
I really like the sound of those beefy star tread tyres Forbes :-) They might not be period tyres, but they'd be great for an everyday use 28" wheeled roadster...
I think some of the tires I will be getting in are the Metro brand tires! And they seem remarkably tough. The 28" tires with the star treads are especially...
Forbes, Just joined (mainly for the leather saddle info). I was wondering about the brakes on the LG. From what I have read and seen, rod brakes barely work...
Hi Doug, Yesterday, I did a ~10 mile shopping run on the Plummer, set up with my prototype leather raodster saddle. It is plenty comfy now for getting around ...
... It's funny how your mind plays tricks on you. I just went out and looked at the saddle again. It is black, pure and simple. My brain must remember my...
Hi Doug! Welcome to the group! It is great to have knowledgeable folks like yourself on board. I hope it is okay that I posted your previous e-mail about the...
Cool Forbes :^) So I have one of the 72mm Tektros on the front of one of my family's Bike Friday Family Tandems. It originally had a kinda marginal Sachs...
... Interesting. I have never used one, but I had heard good reviews. And, of course, it would be getting quite a work out on a tandem. I need to get ahold...
Yup Forbes, That's it. You on a bike probably outweigh my wife and oldest daughter (6) on the relatively heavy tandem. Don't get me wrong, the brake is...
Hi Doug, - welcome to the group :-) As usual Forbes is singing my praises (blush), but having ridden a traditional heavyweight Chinese made ladies bicycle with...
Hi Gang, My vendor tells me my shipment should be ready to go some time this week. My source "on the inside" tells me it is more likely to be next week. In...
Check out this beautiful French Porteur: http://www.cyclofiend.com/working/2007/wb052-bb0207.html Folks on the KOG list tell me it's a Peugeot from the 50s,...
