Riding home on this:
Was definitely better than riding home on this:
And believe me, I tried... no fun. Ok, maybe a little fun.
Seriously, though, thanks a lot!
I know I said I'd bring it by today but it sucks out so if it's all the same to you I'll bring it by when it's not pouring...

yesterday's craigslist special:
Lugged Miele with Plain Gauge Ishiwata tubing! Its the tange 5 that hipsters crave in their dreams!
I already know that the most expensive thing this bike will get is going to be the fender set..
the bottom bracket is as per sheldon browns website about the older bottom bracket style.
this one may be shot.. are they dollars to replace?
thanks in advance if anyone has spare junk kicking around...

Most def just a regular english 68x whatever bottom bracket. You have 9999 different crank/bb choices readily available. Did you get a crank with that bike or is everything as we see there.

Is the BB Italian or English? I'm betting English. I have a set of SS cranks + BB to donate.

Matt - That totally sucks! The loss of property is only the half of it too, it's the feeling of being a helpless victim that is the real kicker! I freelocked my bike for about 10 minutes yesterday while I ran in to the grocery store and nearly crapped my pants out of anxiety.

This bike will look great with a set of chrome fenders and yep, that rear wheel is still here, I believe the hub is a 126mm width. I am very mobile so can meet up with you wherever/whenever...

the bike came as what u see there except for the stem, which i already had. its straight and doesn't seem to be rotted, except for surface rust.. on the driveside chainstay.. for $20, did i do okay?
i know miele's around toronto are really common.
I'd be looking for the cheapest overall crank/bb setup, but it looks like Kergin has answered that call...!

check ur pm's and we can go from there, i think 126mm will fit this frame perfect.
wow, with all these donations my budget may get a chance to extend to chrome fenders. I was being budget conscious and leaving it to MEC:
https://www.mec.ca/Products/product_d...5524442623130#
I got drops/pedals/chainring etc salvaged from other older projects.. would u guys hate me if i threw the rear wheel on there with 6 cogs and left it as a single speed with no derailleurs?

That sucks Matt. Until I can pick up some ball bearings and super glue I've got my saddle attached to my frame with an old chain but even that is only really a mild deterrent. ****ing crackheads are the worst

a buddy threw out the idea of leaving the ideal cog on there, get the chainline sorted and spacing out the freehub with zipties...
my original suggestion was cutting down pvc pipe... but i like zipties more.. lol

All yours. Eventually I want them back as I am going to build my wife a 1x8 commuter. When do you need the parts? I'm home Thurs and Fri most of the time as I will be moving into the house those days.

OH SNAP!
Vintage Cyclops Frameset and Bars
Vintage Custom-Built Track Bicycle Frame Set with Bars Built by: Canadian builder Mike Mulholland (Toronto, ON) Steel frame and fork Lugged frame Tube set: unknown Year: unknown Frame Size: 57 cm (bb to centre of top tube) Seat post size: either 26 or 26.8 mm Top tube measurement: 57 cm (centre of head tube to centre of seat tube) Seat tube to head tube drop: 10 mm English bottom bracket threading Columbus track ends/ dropouts Shaped chain stays Frame and fork are in great condition and paint is in good shape. A great ride! NOTE: Price includes headset, stem and track bars. Drop handlebars: 41 cm aluminum Cinelli criterium bars Stem: 120mm aluminum Cinelli Reason for selling: not going to track often enough, the bike deserves more use. This custom frame and fork were built in Toronto by Mike Mulholland who passed away in 2006. It’s hard to find info about the Cyclops company and its bikes because the company was a very small family-run frame building company. Cyclops was known locally for building very fine track racing frames, as well as road and touring bikes. Link to Pictures: https://kitchener.kijiji.ca/c-buy-and...AdIdZ107219324

Are there even any local framebuilders left in Toronto? I'd be kinda nice to buy a frame from someone brazing in their garage.

I need to get some ball bearings to put into my seatpost bolts, would a bike shop make the most sense to buy loose ball bearings or is this the kind of stuff a home depot would have for cheaper?

Shiftless bum
Go to a bike shop and you'll likely get some old bearings for free if you beg nicely.
