Gad, I might even have a pair of those blue lowrider side-luggers from my 720.

I find this liner tubing in the bike shop's bin. They discard lengths of it in 2 different diameters with every bike they sell, just not sure which brand, Felt or Specialized, they sell both. The stainless housing will accomodate either diameter.

The computer is on it's way to a good home

If you find the racks and are willing to part with them..... shoot me a pm.

My last message failed, so here again. EDIT:, the prev mssg just re-appeared!

The liners in two sizes come with each bike and are thrown away by a Specialized/Felt dealer. I don't know which brand, both liners are black and even the larger one fits in the SS housing. I also sometimes find the narrower type in a clear/white color.
There are also some "cable covering" tubings for exposed cable runs that fit in the stainless housing, though many are too large. This is common stuff.

I'm pretty sure the bike came with a 28 originally. Not sure if I'll like it or not, I guess if you're gonna have a granny, it may as well be little.
Ah, very cool to see another NE Ohioan on the forum. We've had a couple NE Ohio rides before, maybe we should get another one put together. I bought my Raleigh Gran Sport from a man in Milan, any chance that was you? Had a whole lot of bicycles, including an unused Favorite.

I'd be up for a ride too. I've always thought of Milan as Northwest Ohio, since it's only about 30 miles from me (Oak Harbor). Our schools are in the same conference, so we get over there a few times a year.

Cool Pompiere, my daughter runs cross country and track for Edison. The track district meet was at Oak Harbor this year.

mkeller...I'm not the guy..... do remember his name?

I'd like to meet him and see his bikes.

Hmmm, I thought it started with an S..... Sean or Scott maybe? Anyhow, I might still have the emails that far back, i'll have a look. Pompiere, you are right. Milan is definitely North West Ohio. At any rate, it's good to see other Ohioans, we seem to be in the minority on the forum.

My son runs too, so I'll probably see you this fall. We'll be there with the band for the FB game too.
