Bikes: 1961 Ideor, 1966 Perfekt 3 Speed AB Hub, 1994 Bridgestone MB-6, 2006 Airnimal Joey, 2009 Thorn Sherpa, 2013 Thorn Nomad MkII, 2015 VO Pass Hunter, 2017 Lynskey Backroad, 2017 Raleigh Gran Prix, 1980s Bianchi Mixte on a trainer. Others are now gone.

I did what Saddlesores recommends, the adapter and a threadless stem. Very happy with the result.



The frame is from 1961 or 1962, as are several components. But I did not like the original bars, they were far too narrow for me, so I decided to go modern for the bars, and also did that with the brake levers and stem.
