I put solid rods in the middle of the springs on one of my builds to remove the spring motion entirely. I don't like the bobbing up and down when out of the saddle pedaling, but I like the look.

dirtied up the CruX Sunday for a late day 41 miler on the Airline North trail (Willimantic CT to Pomfret CT) ride finish/start at the rail road museum this section is under reconstruction after the monsoons earlier this year if I could weld I would make this for my daughter. She loves foxes

wow, they don't fit your 700c wheels? That seems odd. The wheels pictured on my bike are a set built by Lux Lo Bikes. They are imported from Austria 700c rims laced to very close to NOS New Departure hubs. I believe the bike had 28" wheels when new.

can I vote now??

here we go.

all good advice. I had one of those plastic derailleurs rip off while riding in the 80s when the bike was new.

exhilarating to watch. Thanks.

^^although I just got a new shipment from my molder and once again had to raise prices. Labor and materials keep going up. When I first started selling these in 2010, they were $13 shipped.

^^ oo!

Mostly on eBay (seller ijt64) and here.

a shaft drive bicycle is on my bucket list.
