Nice to keep a bike running well.
The maintenance beyond tires/tubes and periodically cleaning a drivetrain is minimal given the miles and outdoor access they deliver. I'm facing a BB question - what spindle width for a square taper, double crank?


My intention this winter is to overhaul a few vintage wheel hubs. And ski.


edit: and isn't that Tuscany sweet!?! I always wanted a high-end Litespeed (they had sooo many over the years) or Merlin Extralight. Settled for an Extralight look-a-like, with the shaped stays, probably welded in east Tennessee - great bike to 'settle' with, but still.......
