great old-timey 3 speed bikes that totally rocked during the 50's

i think he was refering to your trying to make the basso a 3 speed.
if you did, i imagine you would opt for an internal hub like this one

the problem is, I imagine you're going to run into spacing issues with the rear dropouts.
meh.. what do I know.. ask ze german,
if anyone could make it work, it's my bet that he could.

nice bike btw.
push that curvy hotness all over RV

i love the sprung saddle on that thing. yeah, what tink said. man, i need to use more image tags.

that'd be for making it a two speed fixed gear, and is pretty complicated i think. sheldon has an article on it here:

i doubt it's worth trying, i'm just a sucker for strange bike setups. either way, enjoy!

Making a run out to Rockville and back in about a 1/2 hour. Anyone else have the day off?

This is at the usual time right?

Steel frames don't have spacing issues. Besides most internal gear hubs are around 120mm OLD anyways. ;)

thanks for moving rum runner to next week, was feeling kinda sick. I would like to be out for recruiting tomorrow night, but can we meet at Hains? I would like to get some laps in.

btw: I believe that SA 3 spd hubs are 110! You have not lived until you open one of those sugars apart and see all the paws, springs, keys and gears.

It's that is next week.

And there might be some models that are 110mm O.L.D., but most are somewhere between 115mm and 119.5mm. (http://www.sturmey-archer.com)
:p

it's like this..
i'm getting off of work in 10 minutes

half an hour from that point i will have picked up a sixer
and peddled my way around dc for a minute

now i plan on heading back to virginia sometime while the sun's out
company would be appreciated
its kind of hard to work on polo drills by yourself.

call the phone

TONIGHT.
if it's raining, meetup at home base (Warehouse, on 9th St) instead. If it's clear, meetup at sherwood.

If it's nasty, we'll drink more and ride less. If it's nice out, we'll ride more and drink a tad less.

BE THERE. 7pm, rain or shine!

zing!

ok, pirates. it's raining. i'll see you, and your flyers, at Warehouse/Home Base tonight... right??

yeah i'll be there

I'll be at work. Glorious, glorious work. Anyone need a lift to the bike swap on Saturday? Got room for 2.

tell me more about this saturday bike swap.

ah. can't go, but if you see a 49-51 lugged steel touring frame (as if!) gimme a call.

probly too late to do any good, but here's a flyer

Effin sweet! I have that night off. Why'd I think that was Friday?

probably cause you thought about some 48 dollar pedals and got confuzed...lucky!

they were $4899.99 and are the best pedals ever!

sure beat those damn atacs and spds

Sorry folks,no recruiting for me tonight. If I'm lucky,I'll get out of here by 9. Today has not been a fun day. :(

BTW,has anyone PM'd/e-mailed/called the lost Pirates(EmMildew,Justin,Waitforme,etc) to see if they can make the TSMR?

itd be cool to see them, but i think they are too busy; otherwise they would be looking/posting here themselves, right?
