And the stem is something I had hoped to not mess with, but not to be. Perhaps you noticed and that is why you mentioned stem to bar tightness. The knurled nut is perhaps the wrong nut, and was not...

Torpado

Oh yes, I plan on riding it a bit to get the flavor of it at least. Perhaps I will have it around for awhile for a few rides a year. I believe the stem was actually inserted at the limit mark. It’s...

Torpado

Torpado I am working on is nearly ready to put back together. I am going cheap as I see no future in it for me. Even though the original tires had very little wear on them, I got some others from the...

It is cleaning up pretty good. It looks like plenty of room for possibly even 28s as you mentioned. No dimples in chainstays. I would probably leave it with some narrower tires though and just have a...

Torpado Nuovo Sprint

I got a very neglected 1984? Torpado Nuovo Sprint nearly 3 years ago. It was cheap as it had a stuck seatpost that the flipper owner was able to remove but with damage to the seatpost. I believe it...

Working on wheels and gearing on my 1983 Trek 700. The stock low flange Campy hubs with 13-20 rims were fine with a freewheel and 32mm Gravel Kings, but I didn’t like the looks. I came into some nice...

I got an 82 Trek 412 in a three bike purchase for $75 a couple years ago. It was mostly stock except for the seat. It didn’t really fill any voids in my fleet, but I was curious about the Ishiwata...

110 spider for stock crank

Do a bit of searching here for a 110 bcd spider adapter write up that replaces the stock rings. It saves you about a lb and a half and allows you to run any 110 ring. You keep the stock crank.

64 Frejus bottom bracket

1973 Ladies Schwinn Breeze 3 speed
