Any info on what the bracket might be for? I thought the obvious one would be licence plate but having looked through hundreds on ebay I can't find anything that would fit, mainly because the fixing point is between the rails. It had four raised spots which may be made to fit to something with...

Been riding it two weeks, got a picture up last night. Powder coated green, changed the wheels from mtb diameter to 650a so I can have narrow cream tyres, or whitewalls - and a bit more bb height is always nice for fixed. Ratio is 46x16. I put longest reach road caliper on the front, had to put...

Do people usually keep the same ratio or go a bit higher? I'm thinking of putting a double-sided hub on my cruiser, just in case I don't like fixed and I can swap to s/s.

In the UK our British weights and measures system is gradually being wiped out by EU laws. What is the situation over there is metrication gradually taking over, does society want it to, do you want it to?

A cool punkie :)

I'd be interested to see how the colour scheme works. I've been thinking about doing my Hawk this way, including white rims and Electra Blossom Trail white walls and hub brakes.

I heard this new version with Shimano Nexus gears will be available in the UK for Christmas. How about in the US?

As I am in England I was wondering who else is English or British ancestrally, and what town are your family origins? :)

I saw this film where .... Van Dyke has a cruiser called an American Speed Streamer, is this a real or fictional bike?

I've seen pictures on flickr, has anyone here got pics?

Have a look at this http://archie-wilkinson.co.uk/ :)

I'm thinking about the possibilities for a cyclocross bike. What would the clearance be like with the larger diameter wheels and would the original brakes work? Here 1 year today :)

I recently got a Lycett L.15 Swallow leather saddle dated 1965. The Lycett company were taken over by Brooks in the 1920s. My saddle was in rough condition, it had probably been left in a damp shed or garage for 43 years and never treated (and splashed with paint). I treated it with Proofide...

I had the BSA back off my dad recently, I swapped it for my folding bike. I took it apart for spares and parts to try and sell. I took a nice picture of the headtube badge http://www.flickr.com/photos/21720915@N03/2739126424/

I recently bought a racer with 3 speed sturmey archer gears - the type with an oil port. I cleaned it up and put new handlebar sponges on, the old ones were falling apart. The bike cost £15. I'll probably sell it because of the 24in frame, I prefer a 21in...

Check out this great stuff from 1939 http://www.brooksarchives.info/brooks%2 ... bb289html# Does anyone have any info on the histories of these companies? I found out that Wrights and Lycett were both taken over by Brooks. After seeing and photographing a Lycett saddle I started a flickr group...

Any information or pictures please. Here's what I have http://www.flickr.com/photos/65587945@N00/988544552/ also click on the top right thumbnail for the other picture. :)

I love these, I wish I had the money and the space! http://i3.ebayimg.com/07/i/000/fd/97/13e1_1.JPG

I was thinking a bike based on that lovable villan 'The Hooded Claw' might be cool! Or at least his purple and green colours http://www.hotink.com/wacky/pitstop/hclaw.gif :)
