Ah a good linky for restoration tips etc http://www.bicyclehub.co.uk/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=55&Itemid=116, quite happy with my purchase now :D. Think i'll need to blow more than 10.60, the rubber and cables arent looking too clever

I picked up a once proud Dawes kingpin for £10.60 http://www.folding.tv/?p=9 yesterday, a random ebay bid and I won...not quite sure it was a good idea though, she's a keeper. Not too bad but far off the link above and these silly types http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~hadland/kingpin.html...

Cool saddle, they dont make them like that any-more.. I went Boxer, Grifter, some random Falcon I think. BTW, I won a Dawes on ebay fopr £10.60 last night, picked it up...needs some work, time for a build-off then Nelly...not a bad ideal really...everyone pick up cheap shoppers and go mad...

Ah, some progress ...and maybe as god intended when she was born.

Just wait till he gets the new rubber and bar tape on...no skip will be safe in 50miles, then the ebay searches will start oh deary me

If you've gone this far and taken pictures and posted it on the web do it! Beats sitting in front of the TV and you'll enjoy the strip down and clean up...just wait till bike number 2! Mind you i do some polishing of bits in front of the tv I just like getting old tired bikes and frames back...

Build a shopper...20" wheels, basket, stand...the lot!

Dude, link doesnt work :?

Hi all, I'm starting to throw together a path racer based on a very tatty BSA Wayfarer that I picked up on ebay. I've started a wee blog, it's early days but would like your help and direction making it a fun summer cruiser. http://justmybike.blogspot.com/ Comments welcome.

I'm trying to find some alloy or chrome bar end brake levers similar to the following Any ideas, seen any new ones on websites etc?

Cheers Keith...front is 46 Tooth 170MM Hubs XRD3 is 20Tooth S2C looks to be 19 Tooth so similar

Thanks for the reply, UK based to be honest. No major hills where I live, i'm just trying to figure out if those sorts of ratios will be tough really. Not quite sure what 60" means...gulp Yep, 36h hubs and rims...should be fine

A year + ago I acquired a cheap BSA Wayfarer ( http://www.oldclassiccar.co.uk/classic- ... yfarer.jpg ), basically in tatty condition, stripped it down, she's at the local metal shop after media blast and orange powder coat, also added a set of 26" 1 3/8th westwood rims (powdered orange, cream...

Ain't always about the riding, nelly has offered me a nice looking frame, will have 2 1/2 projects if I do lol How is it day to day?

Cheers Yojimbo, to be honest the first bit of corrective action is to remove the bar ends completely. The XRD5 hub doesn't inspire confidence with its occasional gear slip and i dont need to stand up and burn to the station as such. Plans/Thoughts include Alloy stem...

Cheers Retro, See plenty on ebay but they seem to go for top dollar, there is an abandoned one in my town centre but its well chained up and gets the odd kicking... Thanks for the offer, ideally after one with mudguards etc,

Give a twenty a new home, I will be kind :)

And a few more...
