Re: 1949 Claud Butler Olympic Path #931600E (Stars & Stripes) I've got nothing to add of use apart from a general thanks for posting and please keep it up. I've enjoyed following your builds and look forward to more to come. Cheers, Jack

Thanks for the replies! Done a few miles on the Lenton over the last few days, ever mile makes me smile just a little bit more. Lovely. I've tried moving the wheel forward a bit but the chain tension goes to pot... i could maybe take another link out but i think this would make the...

Re: HOORAH! Managed to post the picture... I completely missed the "Upload attachment" box :facepalm: I think I'll ride it for the rest of the summer before pulling it apart again and properly cleaning etc. In the meantime though, what do you think of the rear mudguard? Too close to the rear...

Re: Amazing Neil, what an offer! I'd appreciate you having a rummage and digging out the axle. I've had no luck finding a replacement spindle and was resigned to phoning around long-standing bike shops in the morning on the off chance. I've checked by (broken) spindle (from my 1951 Lenton) and...

Another bottom bracket one I'm afraid... Please excuse me if this has been covered before, I am new so I will blame it on that! Feel free to skip this bit of background... I recently acquired a Lenton frame (1950/51... probably 1951 based on the date on the SA hub) from eBay for a decent...
