If I go for it, I'll have to mod it a little. Raise the handlebars and seat -- of course. Neck pain -- for long rides -- is major issue for me. Not sure how original (true to catalog) the $50... (74 views, 6 replies)

 Spacer for Mafac centre pull rear brake assembly
Very interesting- thanks again. Yep I'm in England. It does look like the Weinmann brakes are a lot more available- so that's good to know they use the same piece I need. (132 views, 6 replies)

 Brompton, new all ALU model coming?
Aluminum can be a great frame material. I have a late 1980s Cannondale from 6061-T6. Newer aluminum bikes use 7005 aluminum as it does not require post-weld heat-treating like 6061-T6. In general,... (112 views, 2 replies)
