Any shop that has Shimano or Sturmey Archer should have them and can get them. They are not hard to get at all!!

We do seem to have the St. Paul crowd here, don't we? Last week I met a gentleman riding a beautiful '50s DL-1 in my neighborhood. Anyone on here?

I finally decided I'd had enough of the non-existent brakes on my 20. I found some alloy BMX rims at MMRB and transferred the spokes over. Saves quite a bit of weight. I'm just about done--I'm finishing up the rear wheel. They also had some Kenda Kwests 20x1.5 that I picked up. The pressure range says 45-60, so just about right for the 20.

As long as I'm at it, I thought I'd change out the 15T cog for a 17T. I'll report back when I'm finished.[/QUOTE]

Did Mr. Micheal have any more of those rims?
