Thanks guys!
I might take your good advice on rear brake but not for the moment I think. I'll post photos if that goes badly... that said riding in NYC is the best. It's so much faster and more pleasant that subway or cabs and a lot of fun.
Seems my chain rings are 52T/40T
I ordered a new SRAM 850P, which people seem to like and it seems pretty tough and easy to use/clean.
I'm trying to measure the BCD but I'm having trouble - I got a measurement for 100mm between the two visible bolts, but another for 55mm between one nut and the other bolt - I can't work out if my chainring is a 3 bolt or a six bolt... can you guys help? *I think it's a 110mm six bolt, but is that wrong?*
Thanks again for all of your help!
I'm looking into the BB, and I read that they're often Swiss thread in the Motobecane from this period - is that right? How would I tell?
