27" panaracer pasela tourguard kevlar folding tyres, had trouble on old rims and have replaced them with rigid. Probably done about 40 miles so the tread is pretty good as you can see: cost £22 each from SJS, will take £22 for both, delivered (paypal) cheers, david

righto, as i feared! thanks

I've got some old rims (constrictor "boalloy") and panaracer folding tyres (only ones in stock at the time) - found them hard to fit evenly initially and today i had one slip off.. i realise that rim tech has probably moved on a bit in recent times, but any tips for the old ones? would i be...

i run 52:18, if you live somewhere kind of flat it's ideal. kind of hilly and you'll get strong legs ;)

on the old (bayliss wiley too as it happens) bottom bracket tip - i have a suspicion that my spindle is bent - is there a way to check without removing the cranks? it's cottered and i don't think i can take the hassle.. the reason i suspect it is that it feels slightly.. "wrong" when...

hey - yes please! guessing it's a little later than the afore mentioned "matchbox" type but it's certainly more inkeeping with the style (and probably works better) so if the offer's there..

also - bottle cages - no cage bosses, so what was the standard way to carry water in the 50s? or was it all tearoom/pub stops? ;)

excellent - thanks! pretty sure it is raleigh industries, yes - can see why they changed it! i still don't know what it's supposed to be.. i'll keep a look out for appropriate gran sport bits to match them up. On that subject, the gear cable doesn't go through both braze on loops...

veloflex if you're feeling flush http://tinyurl.com/yfbfv86 or panaracer do them too http://tinyurl.com/yljyspo - don't know of others off hand.

anyone know the crank logo, out of interest?

looks promising - thanks!

aha - that makes more sense regarding the pedals! i actually meant the callipers themselves were flexing but i think it's just that they were loose instead. i imagine things would have been added and replaced over the years yes - expecting everything to last 60 years is possibly pushing...

mad! i used to surf at saltburn etc. when i was at uni - remember one time going in with a couple of guys wearing full hazmat suits testing something.. a little disconcerting to say the least

Hi, Got this flying scot, frame number is 99A on the dropouts - i think it's 1951, am i right? badge is damaged by i assume rubbing cable or something unfortunately. I'd like to know a bit more about the components too - which might be original, or what they might have been...

you get sun fish in middlesbrough!? really?

well it's not necessarily to make it look unreal! that usually comes with over-use of the technique.. it's basically to allow different areas of an image to be exposed to different levels, i.e. so you can see details in the bright sky as well as showing something that might be in shadow on the...

excellent, thanks!

Got a rock hard brooks in someone else's bum shape - are there any techniques for "resetting" them or softening them up? can't ride it like this but it seems a shame to chuck..
