How can I determine the model year of a Specialized Expedition? Did each model year have distinguishing frame or component changes? Is any year considered to...

I'll jump in here! I own a '86 Miyata 1000 and a '84 210, both of which have 700c wheels on them and work just fine. The 210 was designed/built for 27", the ...
Those things work great. They work just like a normal friction shifter except the ratchet mechanism bypasses the friction plate when you are shifting against...
Thanks, Tim (FrickerCycle) -- Your experience with the Centurion and Bridgestone is a cautionary tale. I hadn't considered the issue of "brake post spread,"...
