<sic> I can't get Interlock Freewheel because they won't ship outside US :( </sic> Well that's pretty lame of them. Sorry for the misdirection, didn't realize. <sic> 7 speed just worked for me in my own mind. </sic> Fair enough. The Panasonic I've been riding is 6 speed friction and I'm...

About 10 years ago I had a Nishiki Cresta GT. I think it was just a little newer than yours though because it was a 6 speed with biopace chainrings. I still kick myself over that bike. I didn't even sell it, I gave it away. What I wouldn't give for the gold anodized 27" wheelset that was on it...

Yikes! I hope that's a set of allen keys in his right pocket!

Thanks to you all for the replies and sorry for the delay in response. Because this was a budget build I didn't want to drop 70 smackers and find out that it wouldn't work. I shall proceed with no fear. BTW Spokesmann, beautiful ride! Only a Brooks can be comfortable with the nose up (though...

I just rebuilt a Panasonic PT-3500 as my commuter and it needs fenders. I'm leaning towards the SKS Longboards but I concerned whether they will fit with the 27x1 1/4" tires I have mounted on it. I realize I'm being a square peg but I like the 27 inchers. Any advice? Are vintage fenders my best...

if I were to patch it, I would have brazed a piece of steel over the affected area rather than just filling the holes, but as I said, I don't know how bad the rest of the frame is. Fortunately the rear wheel has a freewheel (no rusty pawls inside the hub) so I got a pretty decent (and...

thanks, i'm actually taking pictures of this restoration which is a first for me. i usually think about it then say screw it and strip the frame. when it's done i'll do some before and afters. BTW, we fared the storm fine thanks for asking. Alfred

1993 yokota yosemite not great but rare. suntour xc comp all around.

I'm not the single speed type. I'm sure it's fun on single track but i don't drive so it would be murder getting to the trailhead. As for drops... i was planning on using moustache bars and barends for the rebuild.

Hi all, I just rescued a 1994 Trek 930 from a dumpster in the aftermath of Sandy from the shoreline of Connecticut. From the looks of it it also went through Irene. I've since brought it home, cleaned it, and stripped it to a bare frame and will frame saver it later this week after it dries...
