Fix That Simplex Prestige (1975)
I also added this in the Bicycle Mechanics sub-forum: https://www.bikeforums.net/bicycle-m...ts-needed.html
But also thought it might also be useful here. https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...4f1d20aa05.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...8f681c4169.jpg |
SpeedofLite Timely! Thanks!

15-year old me knew all this stuff but I never broke any of the parts mentioned so I must not have achieved journeyman yet. One day I'll get it right. :50:
By the time of this article I was two years past needing to know. |

By the time of this article I was two years past needing to know. Remembering the front shifting issues I had, I sure could have used this article or somehow acquired the knowledge. I had 3 bicycle repair books at the time -- Glenn's Complete Bicycle Manual, Richard's Bicycle Book, and Anybody's Bike Book. None of them helped with my Simplex Prestige woes and I ended up selling the bike a year later before this article was published. |
Funny and informative. Just like this forum. :)

Ha! I was in the near opposite situation. In 1974 I bought a new Raleigh Grand Prix that came with a Simplex Prestige.
