Our mutual friend Tad, @petritl has been out of the loop for a year or so, as I have.
He has a good excuse - extreme personal business.
The good thing from settling his dad's estate, he brought home a cherry Model A.
Also in this tough time, his grown son across the country got into legal...
If you could imagine the perfect bicycle.
Kind of posting out of turn here, kinda off-topic, but Lou hasn't played on this forum for awhile, and not all of you guys make it to the What Bike Did You Ride Today? thread on the main forum page, where I posted these photos on Easter Sunday...
My '57 Lenton GP was bought as bare frame, and figured I could engineer a better bike for the same money as trying to find and buy the original components.
So I made the bike look right on top and everything on the bottom end is much newer, beginning with Phil custom hubs for the 3/8" axles and...
In case you don't read What Bike did You Ride Today?
I reposted Ed's beauty Marinoni with first-gen Campy Chorus ('88)
Italian tubing, Italian components, if the oak leaf doesn't give it away, the bike was made in Quebec.
Maybe @Brian R. can give us some company history.

SOLD
I got a good deal on this Brooks bag in great shape, but it won't fit where I wanted it. (I'm sticking with the Brooks Millbrook that's already there.)
Made for an English lightweight, and a reproduction of the Brooks boxy leather bags from the 1950s.
When stocked, Brooks was selling...
Or in this case, the old TurboTrainer that's my favorite build stand.
Knocked out a quick 25 mi on the greenway yesterday morning on my International.
But with 3 miles to go, anticipating a shift on a grade, my drivetrain locked up. The RD spring was gone, and the chain sagging a foot. I put...
Great Jan Heine article on the origin of Rivendell - keeping steel bikes alive through the 90s.

Watched 12 O'Clock High today. The movie begins and ends with a Lightweight.
There's a scene in the movie where the squadron is coming in and a pan of the airfield shows the ambulences and firetrucks starting across the field, along with all the ground crews on bicycles.
Our love for...

Guaranteed Genuine English Lightweight
I'm sure someone parted out this bike because the Williams crank had the Raleigh heron silhouettes, and GB brakes, and suicide FD, and Cyclo Benelux rear. The temptation was too great, and the patina on the frame detracted from its "showroom" quality. He...
At our group ride today, Lou showed up with his new-old Raleigh Lenton Grand Prix. I believe this is a '59 or '60 with dual Belelux derailleurs and 5-sp freewheel. Most of my phone detail photos didn't come out so I'm just posting the ones that did .
Lou's truck and new old bike. The rear...
note the switchbacks he's making, and the fact the kids are walking along with him - his low gear must be below 20"
Also like the short segment of the woman who can't walk down the street because it's so steep.
Apparently this was a thing on prewar French bikes, also found on Terrot bikes.
These photos turned up of a nice 1939 Peugeot.
oops, sorry about the heading typo - I can't edit that
I'll start - I found this on another forum, and it's too cool to leave alone:
I asked God for a bike, but I know God doesn’t work that way. So I stole a bike and asked God for forgiveness. --Winston Churchill

4 weeks ago, I was leading the pack in a daybreak Sunday-morning ride downtown along with a HS wrestler. Watching the car beside me instead of the pavement, I fell into a strange trangle-shaped expansion joint over the riverwalk - at 20mph, which launched me straight down - (I think I was even...

Been riding Chrome Kursk sneakers in my Ale toe clips with Binda straps for more than a few years. They have great shanks, but my biggest complaint about them is an ersatz rubber strap around the toe box (in the style of Keds) that impedes ingress past the straps.
I have such fond memories of...

This short-coupled lightweight owned in Bedfordshire came up for identification query on CR. I thought I would transfer the photos over here, since someone had identified it has a Schwinn based on the lugs.
Rather, it was identified by those in the know as BSA from the 50s, possibly Golden...

Saw this really trick ad zoom by in the archive photos this morning - hope I'm not stealing anybody's thunder by posting it. We've also delved into off topic firearms, and it made me come up with two on topic firearms questions.

So did any other firearms...
Mulloch's sporting auctions include (arguably) the foremost antique fishing tackle auction in the world (the people who would argue that is Lang's here in the US).

trying to show off for my friend, who never does more than an occasional phone photo of any bike.
One morning on a ride, I grabbed this quick photo of his project from last year.
He did a really nice job on this USA-built World Sport frame ($100 frame).
he began with the Dyad rims built on...

Did military R&D, specifications and purchasing contribute to development of the bicycle in the 19th century?
Any idea of size or significance of military purchases in the total bicycle market of the times?
Thanks in advance for...
The topic came up on RBW board with a question about how do you carry a fishing pole on your bike.
Here at home, a bike will get you access to some great headwaters fishing on county roads where there are ordinances against parking cars.

Not mine - wish it was. Ebay/UK show and tell that was highlighted on Classic Rendevous.
Just too perfect and a too great a detail photo set to leave alone - all that's missing is a brake detail.
No, I won't be bidding, but could make this size fit...

This is old news, but a nice bike I never posted here. This was 3 summers ago, and my daughter's summer project was building herself a go-fast - of course with my help.
Was tempted by and set up a snipe on a beautiful ebay '90s Geliano frame in her size - drop-dead-gorgeous airbrush paintwork...
