77/78-ish Super Course in Chicago

I just stopped by a guy's place in Chicago to check out a 77/78 or so Raleigh Super Course that he has for sale. Thought some of you CV people might be interested.

If the SC was one size larger...

The Rest of the Story ...

I bought a used Park CCP-1 and found that the 23.0mm side was loose in my 49D. Retried the Stein Stronglight tool (with a judicious amount of grease) and it worked. ...

Thanks for posting that review dck! I picked up a '74 Grand Jubilé about a year ago (and had one as a kid). The review confirms what I've found: the GJ rides great -- solid and smooth. Also, your...

Hey, good idea unworthy1. I'll save an eBay search for a CCP-1.

I saw that teflon tape trick elsewhere on the Forums, and might try that if the 23.0 seems small. (And I'll prepare myself to buy...

P.S., auchen: I'm jealous of the pristine Moto head badge on your '74! Mine's a little dinged up. IMHO the mid-'70s Moto headbadges were the best ever.

Hey auchencrow,

I'll jump back in with some random stuff:

Just noticed that you have what appears to be SunTour "Power" downtube shifters on your red Jubilé. When I was a kid I saved up and...

Yeah, I know ...

I got the idea for the cheap Tourney from the Harris Cyclery online store. They suggested it as an inexpensive way to try index shifting. And, lo and behold, the thing works...

'74 Moto GJ - blasphemy!

Brace yourself for some French bike blasphemy. Found this '74 Grand Jubilé at a bike swap last year. Got it for $75, which I thought was a good deal. (Have since replaced a lot of parts.) HAD to...

Speaking of '74 Moto GJ's, anyone interested in a photo of my somewhat modernized one? ("Cold set" frame, 8-speed freehub, etc.) I'm new to the Forum; maybe this isn't the thread for photos. (?)

Thanks for the excellent reinforcement, unworthy1! I'm going to go ahead and try to exchange for the Stein T.A. tool. (These tools are SO damn expensive!)

Big Guy / Wheel + Tires

I'm 6'3", 275 lbs. and broke rear spokes like crazy on the cheap, 32-spoke Alex 500 rims and no-name hubs that came on my Specialized Sirrus. (I wouldn't have bought this bike knowing what I do...

Hey, thanks for the tip about that threadless BB, Binxsy! Going to look at a '76 Grand Jubilee this week (sentimental value -- had one in high school), and it's good to know that the BB can be...
