A few of my 94 Yo for this thread.

I'm surprised a snowflake laced front wheel hasn't made it in yet ;)

Of course weight matters. A lighter retrobike is so much easier to hang on the wall and take down for dusting :wink:

Looks pretty interesting. Unfortunately a little far for me to bring a bike too.

Or this morning in the UK :wink:

I haven't been checking this thread at all and didn't see your post. Maybe its just me but a month in Italy with the single speed seems a little more appealing than a month in the UK with the single speed so I'm going there instead ;) Maybe I should check the Retrorides calendar and see if its...

120mm hubs are pretty common, just buy a new one and build into a wheel

Not quite sure where the disintegrating boxes story came from but I have received a few soggy empty envelopes which previously contained small bike parts.

Re: WTF is this Fillet Brazed Tange Prestige Gumtree special ORT would have all the cables on the top tube and a seperate Hite-Rite mount, but it does look pretty similar.

At what point does a frame and pile of parts become a bike though?? :wink:

If its full suspension get the rear end unbolted and packed into the dead space of the box. I've had a number of FS frames sent from the states for the $70-90 mark. There are several online calculators you can use to get a good idea of cost if you work with a few dimensions, and you can help...

Sounds like the perfect road trip from the UK - Maybe I should fly into the UK and do a road trip from there...

Ladies and Gents, Is anyone here heading to Italy in early September for SSWC 2013? I’m looking at getting to this one and it would be great to have a beer or three with a few Retrobikers while I’m there. If you are coming what are you going to race?? Andrew

In my experience the grooves don't do anything noticable other than make the rings harder to clean...

What type of fork??

Jeff, I'd love to see an Aussie Retro Championships for 2013 or at least a major gathering. What did you run at your event?? Andrew

Just curious as to why you've made this question UK specific when the UK probably didn't have that much influence on any of the best ideas you mention :?: :?:

Re: 98--> I don’t have an issue with that section not being for you, but is it really necessary to broadcast it in a new thread? Does it really add any value to Retrobike as a forum?? It gets rather tiring reading through all the comments and threads full of whinging and whining and all...

Photos please

I believe Retrobike already has something like that call "rides". I think the general idea is that you rock up with your favourite retro ride, go for a ride with similar people on old bikes, get dirty, share a laugh, eat cake, drink beer and go home happy. 8)
