I actually already consulted that, but that essentially just lists Shimano's recommended configurations (which this is not). I'm just wondering if it would work, not whether it's been cleared by...

shimano 2300 flat bar conversion

I'm pondering converting a road bike with a 2300 triple set (FD-2303 28.6 mm, RD-2300, ST-2300/2303) from drop bars to flat bars.

Ideally I'd like to keep the same crank, cassette and derailleurs;...

I just checked out Sheldon Brown's awesome gear ratio calculator, and figured out that going up to a 24 would give me the equivalent of 1st and 2nd, with my 2nd and 3rd. However, after thinking...

re-gear?

Hey everyone,

My daily commuter currently has a Sturmey Archer AW3. If you're familiar with these hubs you'll know the first gear can be very troublesome. Mine is no exception. My 2nd and 3rd...

Thanks for the info, wrk101!

Apart from the tires, tubes, chain and Sturmey shifter, the whole thing I crafted from free spare parts. It's been my daily winter rider and haven't had an issue...

After some more research it appears the first digit in the serial number is the last digit of the year, so that initially narrows it down to 1962, 1972, or 1982. '62 is out because they were...

Ah ha, I found it! It was on the left-side dropout; very worn, but readable. The number is 2H286954. Any thoughts on what year that might be?

I looked at some of the later Huffy All Pro models (with Shimano 333's instead of SA AW3's) from the 70s and they seem to have a similar crank as mine, so perhaps you're right. In any case I'd still...

Where is the serial number on my Raleigh-made Huffy Sportsman?

I've been trying to date my Huffy Sportsman and I'm at an impasse. The most common suggestion is to check the clearly-stamped year on the Sturmey Archer hub (in this case, a '69). The problem is,...

Hi folks,

I've lurked on BikeForums for a long time now to add to my (still small amount of) knowledge about vintage three-speed bikes. I'm in the process of fixing up an old Huffy Sportsman and...
