  2. Sticky Thread Sticky: eBay / CraigsList finds - "Are you looking for one of these!?" Part II

    Wow! I just might be able to store another 25 bikes, but how to transport them? I'd have to rent a u-haul. Let me talk to my wife about this. If it's stuff like English three speeds, I might be able to make a profit on them. People around here want commuting bikes.

  3. Sticky Thread Sticky: Your Catch of the Day / Saved from the Dump!

  4. Sticky Thread Sticky: Back to the C/V version of the forum? Please?

    How might I undo this new CV interface? I'm finding the forum very difficult to use and I'm greatly unhappy with it. I'll pay the membership fee to have the old interface back.

  8. Sticky Thread Sticky: SELLING A BIKE or COMPONENTS ? Read This FIRST

    Lately we have seen more than a few sales types of postings in the Classic & Vintage forum. While we are a bit more forgiving when it comes to trades, barter, request for (or notices of) PMs (or sent) there is a limit. All for sale postings have to be done in the Market Place forum, and yes,...

    66ish Robin hood. A lot of oxalic acid, a set of new tires, cables and pads and some grease and it should be a ball. http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c100/toytechthefirst/robinhood002.jpg

  4. Show your Serotta!

    So I just recently learned that Serotta is out of Saratoga Springs, NY. Seeing as how Upstate is near'n'dear to me heart (Ithaca, really), I'd like to start obsessing on finding a good old Serotta and of course love some visuals to inspire the notion. :rolleyes:

    I don't particularly like the new look of the forum, but I will get used to it and have already found a number of things that I like about it. I can deal with it. But I am really tired of all the griping about it. I mean, sheesh! This is an improvement. It was done for our benefit. Thanks,...

    I finally got some decent pics of my Austro-Daimler Inter-10. From what I could find about serial numbers on these this one is a '76-'77. It came to me with a mishmash of components, nothing in particularly good shape at all. The Normandy/Weinmann wheels, SR crankset and headset are the only...

  11. The end of an era?

    We all know that at some point prices on these C&V bikes are going to spike ridiculously high. Back in the 90's, no one wanted the 70's bikes, and they sold at yard sales for next-to-nothing. Or so I hear. Well, these bikes have started to get popular, and there are fewer and fewer about (no...

  13. Published ERD figures vs. direct measurement

    I'm about to build up a wheel with a NOS 1980s Mavic G 40 rim (27 inch). According to Spocalc and other tables I've consulted, it's said to have an ERD of 620. By my repeated measurements at different points, it's more like 625. For a 4-cross wheel, that makes the difference between 306 or 308...

    I have a 1972 road bike with a Campagnolo Record 52 & 49t half step chainring combination on the crankset. I want to keep the crankset but improve the range of the gearing, the bike has a 14-26 5 speed freewheel which I plan to keep. The dropouts are 121mm spacing. Can I move the inner ring to...
