sell mountain bike -> buy road bike also try gumtree, local freecycle.

I got a new axel to fit the bottom bracket cups, turns out its too short, its an old bayliss wylie one. so i need a longer raleigh style cottered bottom bracket axel someone must have one in parts bin :)

bought a nexus inter 7, just put it into rear drop outs, couple of mill bigger than 120mm but nothing to worry about. the 7 speed looks huge tho compared to the little 4 speed lol

would cold setting the frame to 126mm be another option? 3mm either side isnt too bad.

I'm just checking OLD bits for the various hubs here. shimano nexus inter 3 without roller brake 3 speed = 120mm shimano nexus inter 7 without roller brake 7 speed = 127mm. I have just checked drop outs on frame its 120mm, was worried it was 110mm as old frame. so is a 7 speed possible?

I've one on my gf's bike which isnt that much bigger than a three speed and without the brake it fits a 120mm dropout. I can live in hope, the 4 speed is just perfect for city riding.

wanted a shimano nexus 4 speed and fittings. only the 3 speed is available at the minute and need one with a smaller oln than the 7 speeds etc

Need the bottom half of a 1" headset and bearing race, doesent need to be perfect. I've the top half of a raleigh one, but cant find the bits for the bottom.

I've got offered a bsa police bike, I know bsa as a brand from guns and road bikes but dont know much about police bikes? I've only found one from 1914, i take it they were made after this too. are these collectable? the guy has asked me to make him an offer and like to know a bit more...

hmmm not sure, isnt there a clubweight as well?

any idea what model it is from the lugs/age?

all i'm planning really are fitting michelin world tours, williams cottered cranks and then using the fixed side of the hubs.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/64566729@N02/ Pics. The hubs say "le tour"? dunno if they are original/period. The Rear Hub is fixed on one side and 5 speed on the other and laced to a 27" rim. Think its been repainted at some stage sadly in parts although the transfers on white seat...

on right hand side ( if facing from front) is A939, thats the best I can make out. I take it that makes it january 1949?

the 367 is below the bottom bracket, Ill check the drop outs and stem age when I get home.

my idea is a 1950's locally built road 1950's frame some ma2's and shimano 3 speed. be a lovely commuter.

the 753 perthus pro is still my all time favourite.

thinking about doing something like this with a modern 3 speed shimano job as a commuter.
