The Quintessential C&V Threads!
 

Well, there are some threads that just never die or stay in one place, they come up all the time and are kind of essential to what C&V is. This is just a fun thought I had. Any suggestions? For example:

Cottered Crank Problem, Help!

Classic Steel Beat Carbon Today!

How Retro-Grouch Are You?

Any more, anyone? Just kinda fun fat to chew.

-Nick

Seems like that one comes up 2-3 time per week.

Here's a bunch of new and old ideas


"Totally Tubular" - place to find all that tubular lore and advice (exists)

"To Brooks or not to Brooks" - everything about, well, I think you can get it

"Do these handlebars make my butt look big?" - Style and ergonomics

"C&V path of righteousness" - what's proper in equipping classic bikes?

"What's classic, and what's vintage?" - well, is it really classic or not?

"Classic-based hot rods" - retro frames with modern equipment, a popular fringe movement (exists)

Modern components on vintage frame?

"Hi-c fruit juice bicycle"

This one has been brought back from the dead four times. That's quintessential enough.

Restore or just clean up.

Actually, your statement there is what inspired me to make this thread.

Equally wierd is when someone posts a really intriguing thread back in 2007 and then says, "yeah, pictures tomorrow" and we never see them again. (I guess a little like the hi-c thread.)

Any of those that particularly stick out to you, Kurt?

(Do you go by "KK" on the yehuda moon comment boards, btw?)

and the ever popular

Stuck Seatpost - HELP!!

So far, so good.

And I don't mind the repetition on occasion. This is a fun thing to discuss.

Who can identify my Shogun ?

Having issues with a Swiss Bottom Bracket Bearing

Which Ti bike is best ? ( by far the worst)

The size of the cult matters. "Centurion Serial No. database..."

Old v new will never leave us

Single speed butchery, hot topic as usual

27" to 700c conversion.

I blame that on the crazy notion of NOT having model decals on the bikes from the friggin factory. That is yet another reason to 'hate' the french.

How much is my rare vintage Huffy Omni race bike worth?

I'm not selling this, but does anyone want to buy it?

A buck two ninety eight. Deal?

About as much as a Dodge Omni - $2 bucks.

-Kurt

whoops I forgot to put ""quotes on these. They are supposed to be 2 different quintessential topics. The second being the "I'm not selling this" but I "really" am topic so you don't have to buy a membership to post in the classified section. I don't even own a huffy omni ...nor am I looking to buy one, nor is this a fishing post to avoid buying a membership and posting a wanted in the classified section. :twitchy:

I'm calling "Bull."

What can beat the thread miamijim started about the barn full of PX10's?

French BB - HELP!

Oxalic acid noob needs help (guilty)
