Anyone interested in helping me out? I have a loose cantilever post on a otherwise mint 1983 Hodaka made Terranaut (Touring Cyclist house brand) Wanderer. The bike belonged to my father originally and has a bit of sentimental value which is why I don't want to just replace the fork. Thanks!

I love the old clubmans (RRA/Lenton/Beeston/ect) Here's my tribute to Sheldon Brown... the frame was a 75 Raleigh Grand Prix The writeup is here - http://velospace.org/node/15806 And a 77 Grand Prix restoration I did in the spirit of the old clubmans

St.L BicycleWORKS is coming with a 26' box truck loaded to the top!

These two are incredible. Stunning photographs, great coffee table reading. Got em for xmas from the folks and I haven't put them down yet. http://www.vintagebicyclepress.com/goldenage.html http://www.vintagebicyclepress.com/CompetitionBook.html ...I only wish I could find something like these...

Ever go to an open house? Real estate agents are always baking cookies.

I figured as much. I was also looking at those 4 stroke motors but I hate the cover on the non-drive side and the plate they mount on. And the 2 strokes are just so small looking. I'd get something like this for a tank and mount it behind the seat - LINK

Beautiful. Lovin the red and white and the full chain case. Where did you get the umbrella holder? I need to put one on my wife's bike, she flipped when she saw it!
