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

That it is. :lol:

I soaked it for two or three days and nothing sept a bruised wrist. Borrowed the campy bb tool last night from the shop I volunteer at and still nothing. Applied leverage via a 3' breaker ... boom. It spun right out. Nothin but rust. The bb shell is fine after a little cleaning tho. Thanks...

Anyone know if the driveside bottom bracket cup is removable on a mid-late 80's Traveler (the one with the red/silver paint job)? ...it was on my 88 World Sport but this shimano cup on the Traveler is giving me a heck of a fight. I know they were painted in on some older Raleighs and I wasn't...

Wow... I know where to go if I ever need any Viagra. :shock:

You're definitely putting more thought into this than most other alleycat'ers (that's a good thing). The fact that they've already published the route tho tells me its more organized than a traditional 'alleycat' or messenger race. Every one I've ever done (too many to count) is a show up, get...

The Soma bars look right at home there. Love it!

After a bit of research I've decided against the motor. I have enough motorcycles that I don't need a bicycle with an unreliable engine. Plus I live in an urban area just off a busy 6 lane street so there's no where I can ride it with out getting hassled. So, instead I'm building a wheel with a...

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

should make it a fixed gear too, then you can back it up when making multiple passes.

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!

tank should be here this week. 8) ...what do you guys think about adding an engine? I was thinking about one of those little 2 stroke 80cc jobs.

...and sell him something. :lol:

Yeah, we traded emails for a while yesterday. Tough spot he's in. I won't even try to imagine the weight of what he's dealing with.

I use those (also called interrupter levers) on all my fixies. They work great with road calipers. Last pic on the right at the bottom of the page (the BRL54 Cane Creek Crosstop) - http://www.sheldonbrown.com/harris/brak ... -drop.html Tektro also makes a really inexpensive version.

My only advice is... don't be stupid in traffic and have fun regardless of where you finish. I've seen quite a few people get tagged in traffic during alleycats, I've also seen the people racing against them leave em in the road after having witnessed the entire incident.
