You are correct, as there is no cam. As the name implies, you twist these until they're tight.

Sure, here they are:

I'm looking for some Nuke Proof Twist Tight Skewers. I had a set of these back on the early 1990s and misplaced them. Yes, I know it's a huge shot in the dark, but I thought I'd post nonetheless.

Yup, that would be me! :D I used a very fine file to basically remove the layer of paint on the inside of the clamp (the part comes off the shifter so it was pretty easy). The shifters wouldn't fit on the brand new Black Sheep titanium handlebars, or even some NOS 1992 Specialized...

P.S. Forgot to add that you can see these when they were on my Ted Wojcik here: http://forums.mtbr.com/showthread.php?t=472120. It looks like the new owner didn't even install them.

These seem to be making their way around! I bought these from the original owner in NOS condition. Installed them on my Ted Wojcik project bike, then never rode it because it was way too pretty, so dismantled it and sold most the parts, including this ProShift drivetrain. Anyway, it certainly...

This bike actually has been hanging in my local bike shop for the last, well, 14 years. It actually started out with top notch parts, though as time went along, they were pirated for other bikes or sold off to customers (like me) that wanted coveted items on it. They finally took it down this...

Yeah, I think I'm going to just go the shim route. I actually had a Thomson seat post in this size & color and sold it because I thought I'd never use it. :(

I'm looking for a seat post for my 1992 Yo Eddy. Must be 29.4mm diameter, 400mm or 410mm long and silver. Thanks.

Wow.

Looking for a Shimano Deore FC-MT60 175mm crankset in excellent condition. Please IM me if you have one.

I'm guessing mine is a 72 degree. Independent Fabrication is making me an exact replica of this bike (geometry-wise) and they came up with a 72 degree angle in the CAD drawing for the Deluxe, so I gather they know what they're talking about. :D I can't imagine a 73 degree. Interesting you...

Bingo. Some folks might know the more popular association of The Harder They Come, which is based on Ivanhoe Martin (and Jimmy Cliff plays the role nicely). 8)

Re: Lovely Yeah, I went to high school in Haverhill, which is right on the NH border (and very close to Amesbury), and tax-free NH was a very popular place when you needed to stock up on your libations! 8) Here's a photo of the bike in 1997. A little dark, but in its original build...

Re: Lovely He was back then. He was located in Amesbury, Massachusetts. :D

Here's the article that prompted me to buy this bike:

No, I actually bought a set of reproduction Yo Eddy decals from Rody @ Groovy Cycles and slapped it on. It's since been removed as I'm getting back into the period correct genre!

Re: Lovely First, thanks so much for all the wonderful compliments! Really, I’m blushing over here! If I had known you were all so very nice, I would have posted it long ago (like I did on MTBR and Fat Cogs). Anyway, some brief responses: Thanks! Considering I bought it new, I wasn’t so...
