    What bike did you ride today?

    A couple of days late. Lou and I made a bucket-list ride in Laguna Atascosa NWR - the goal was to see Cayo Atascosa below the dam. Rumors abound that people who can get a kayak or shallow skiff up the twisty channel from the barge navigation canal to Port Harlingen find snook and redfish...

    Rims for 50s Carlton

    My favorite rims on two classic Raleighs, '74 International, and '57 Lenton, are Velocity Synergy - doesn't help, unfortunately, since this series has been discontinued. But the size and rim profile is pretty perfect. The Synergy rear offset builds a really strong dish on narrow OLD. Not...

    Hanging some guns on bikes

    It was also a time when the choice in a rifle was one well-placed shot rather than an AR-15.

    Introducing my French 1930s bicycle

    I've shown these before, stills from The Train (1964 John Frankenheimer film) - this is Labiche's bike, loaned to his friend Pesquet. Frankenheimer's film, btw, should be on everybody's top 5 list: No. 1, Jake, it's Chinatown; No. 2, The Train etc. mostly unrelated, Irina Demrick...

    What is your favorite bicycle accessory?

    topper for @Freqman1 OP question? Bags, of course. The 15-l front bag is really useful. While it can carry my wet-wading boots and fishing bag, just above, it packed a 15-l Ice Mule and a 6-pack. I have 3 rod/reel choices that fit in the half-frame bag, 6-pc fly rod, telescoping stream...

    What bike did you ride today?

    I can ride at the temperature, and last Sunday group start was 34-degrees. You don't even have an aero grip - I added this for double-digit wind, but that still doesn't include 40 kts.

    What bike did you ride today?

    @DrRumack80 - cycling in a 40-kt blow and deep chill - Gunga Din comes to mind.

    What bike did you ride today?

    Sigh... I planned to get in a greenway ride Thursday, but Wed night, I walked into water in my kitchen. My garbage disposal seal was blown, and my lower cabinet was a filled wooden dish (kayak bail sponge). On septic system, I don't need a GD, I just need the reliable drain. I bought the...

    OT - modern lightweight with classic style

    The 8-year saga of life with a bike - sometimes it takes that long to get it right. Berthoud decaleur is back in stock in all varitions - it was absent and out of production in quill stem variants for 10 years. I ordered one I need on New Year's Eve, horizontal stem bolt and 90-mm reach. Their...

    Any Revindell experts out there?

    Another snip from the same blog. Look at it this way - Rivendell builds bikes for grown-ups. They make a limited high-quality product in high demand. They're 100% percent in the open. You can look at it and decide the value for yourself. I'll add if you compare Rivendell frames to a custom...

    What bike did you ride today?

    Good Sunday morning group today, especially for the brisk 38-degree start. None of my coffee friends have returned for awhile. Sharon and Helen have both advanced to the lead group. Carol hasn't, and she takes a head start to the dome. Main reason I posted was to show my Christmas...

    Peugeot PY-10 (???)...Just Got It...

    Any good bike shop would remove the reflectors and spoke plate before delivering a new bike. These were DOT items in the bike boom - they were required on bikes to be imported, but not required on bikes to be sold. It's not a big effort, remove and replace the freewheel - everything should still...

    Chiorda Gimondi...Just Got A Pair...

    I could get on my SunTour soapbox, but their 1964 patent was copied by everyone when it expired, and by Shimano 2 years before it expired. Campy was the last hold out, trying complicated mechanisms for dual-axis movement, such as Croce d'Aune, but they broke down and copied SunTour with '88...

    Chiorda Gimondi...Just Got A Pair...

    Valentino is steel Campy. I bought one when I was designing my sleeper Lenton to look somewhat period. But it was so heavy, I opted for Raleigh-branded VGT instead.

    Seat Post Question?

    It's too easy to swap a seat post, so it's not a very reliable date indicator. 1" seat post with that configuration for a 3-part saddle clamp were common from '20s through the bike boom. Note wood rims and skip-tooth chain on linked Cinelli...

    The Death Stem?

    The OP's link alludes to the problem. Design + metallurgy quality are the two primary factors. All metals are imperfect and contain defects as included dirt - the relative size of the dirt in proximity to stress concentration (design notches) decides whether it's going to crack. Versus...

    Raleigh Super Course

    @Real1 Yes, there's only 4 mm wheel radius difference. Go up a width if you're worried - they'll be made for taller tires. That said, my Large raceblades state up to 34 mm, but I have no problem with 38 mm tires.

    Raleigh Super Course

    I also have a set of SKS Raceblades, which clip on in 2 min to my gravel bike, built from Viner CX frame (and remove in 30s). These completely solve the skunk stripe, but don't fully protect your drivetrain. I made them full-coverage by adding PDW Origami to seat tube (intended for front fender...

    Raleigh Super Course

    @borgward Answering out of turn, yes, plastic, which the Brits call cellulose. Bluemels are the flagship, noteworthy, the RW Clippers on my Lenton are a very good facsimile. My buddy Lou and I bought the last two NOS pair for both our Lentons. Bluemels was eventually bought by SKS, which are...

    Raleigh Super Course

    @Quakertownrich - looking sharp. Shorty fenders are definitely period for that bike. They don't keep you dry, but they do a great job of keeping road grime out of all the nooks in CP brakes.

    What bike did you ride today?

    20 mi on the greenway this morning - gotta start over somewhere. Brisk morning, the sun came on strong, and it didn't take me long to peel my layers. Stopped at Medicine wall before my final 300' climb - also found my second wind for the final climb. There were rock climbers on Medicine Wall

    Id this crankset

    FYI, here's Sugino Mighty Comp - I bought the crank at UT Co-op bike shop in '78, when the splined crank on my Raleigh Grand Prix stripped on Austin hills. The crank finally ended up on my daughter's Team Fuji.

    Raleigh Super Course

    Eric is correct about the stem height looking dangerous, also possibly damaging to the fork steerer tube. When I built my '57 Lenton from frame, I first used a period stem placed at max safe height. The riding position was aggressive, but my back finally cried uncle. I achieved a more...

    What bike did you ride today?

    Sorry I haven't been logged in in ages. I stayed on the bikes through our summer of oppressive heat (in the 100s from May to Sept). Most of my classic bike friends laid-off the Sunday group. In that group, my '57 Lenton got the most positive comments through summer rides. Also tinkered fishing...

    Adding a ps with a couple mechanical tips. My project above was all about replacing the road-shock truss of a V-O front rack with the mini rack that mounts to the CP front brake, and bring the fork back to life. At the same time, replacing inadequate side-pull brakes compounded by the added...

    Bike Design Lineage - A Discussion

    Most people want to believe racing had more to do with developing the modern bicycle than any other activity. Gears weren't allowed in TdF before 1955, but gears were already prominent for decades in bikes for transportation. BTW, roads were first paved for bicycles - not for recreation, but for...

    After being sick most of January, I have to get back in shape. Good greenway ride this morning, 25 mi with a 600' climb on Bonnie Blue. While the bluebonnets were blooming in far south Texas last weekend, they're not popping here yet, so no photo op there. However, I timed my ride just right...

    A few days late on this post, this was last Sunday in Laguna Atascosa NWR. My '92 Viner Pro CX frame built as, um, a rolling brewpub. A stop at Plover Point Boardwalk - there's an ice mule with a couple of beers in my front bag just for this stop. The macadam loop was Bayside Drive - at...

    Trusty Viscount ( Vy-count )

    The cast aluminum fork was a microstructure issue. Essentially, wrought and forged alloy squeezes most of the dirt out, resulting in a fine, fiber-oriented grain structure. The cast structure has random larger grains and globular nonmetallic inclusions that can act as a pre-existing crack. Ran...

    Campagnolo "Cement Steel" pedal axle

    Those were aero pedals of the period, built for exclusive use with toe clips. They shouldn't be a surprise. Toe clips have been out of vogue since the '90s, and clip-in so-called "clipless" pedals - the ones where the guys fall over when they stop. Quenched and tempered alloy steels get their...

    Easy question for a metallurgist.. If you look at increasing carbon in a steel (Fe-C) phase diagram. . Cementite is a metastable phase of this alloy with a fixed composition of Fe3C. Cementite is the hardening phase in steel, and cement steel means the composition is high-carbon (at or...
