My wife thinks this is all part of a master plan to open a bike shop when I retire.
Both bolts on mine are 6 mm Allen key bolts. What is 'bar netted'?
Yes, open that bike shop! But sell coffee and donuts as well as vintage bike parts. It can be the kind of place where vintage bike folk hang out, drink coffee, and argue about Cinelli logos and obscure steel tubing and rusty head badges...
