Bikes: 1940s Fothergill, 1959 Allegro Special, 1963? Claud Butler Olympic Sprint, Lambert 'Clubman', 1974 Fuji "the Ace", 1976 Holdsworth 650b conversion rando bike, 1983 Trek 720 tourer, 1984 Counterpoint Opus II, 1993 Basso Gap, 2010 Downtube 8h, and...

Uh, would you please explain what a underslung demultiplicator modification is, and how it works?

In this photo you can see the home-made bar end shift lever on my 40's Fothergill:

The lever is held by a heavily modified Suntour bar end shifter body, which had been broken previously.

In the same photo you can see a handlebar bag that is also home made, custom tailored, etc.

You can also see the 1930's (?) Centralpull brake, for which I had to fabricate part of the clamp that holds it to the fork. The part that isn't rusty, that's the part I made.

The shifter, shown above, operates a Resilion derailleur that shifts the chain between two cogs on a Sturmey Archer dyno-4-four hub.

Of course the derailleur isn't home-made.

You can't really see it in the photo, but the tail light is attached to a home-made bracket. There's a similar bracket on the fork.
