In da UP that hat's a chook. And when I drink my Faygo Cola I call it a soda. Not A Yooper but I did have one as a roommate. His name was Tori.

Oh... I meant that to be for @JHanko ... easy breezy. 😁

Default to second closest. I'll send you my info. 😀

I would love two pair

More than likely it's just that the cable needs adjustment. Even a little bit off makes a big difference. Might be different hubs but same idea. Sheldon Brown has some good info here: https://www.sheldonbrown.com/sturmey-archer/adj.html

I am unable to open the attached images. Can you post them again directly in the thread?

I'd love to see images of the hub. I also wanted to add that there may be some value in the parts but it would be sad to see it torn apart as it appears quite old and unique. I haven't seen that color pattern.

Woah! What a beaut! Great looking paint. Worth every penny if your not planning to sell it. That's a keeper in my book.

I like this bike but it probably would not bring in much money as is. Here is what I'm thinking: Pros: Overall in decent shape, should clean up alright. Nice extras, generator + light, rack, perhaps og saddle. Cons: It is a ladies bike so no matter how cool, not highly desirable. It looks...

I made a similar box for my OA bath. The cover was mostly to keep the critters out but worked well to hold in the heat. You can see the "pinking" of the paint but it's better than before the bath.

Have you seen this post. Lots of info and links to other posts on same topic: https://thecabe.com/forum/threads/oxalic-acid-bath-help.169308/

Nice to see another machine of this marque. Sad to see the metal tone painted over, I liked that about my bike. I wonder if the Arius saddle on yours was the original? I see the image of the post-clamp bares an Ideale stamping, perhaps it may have originally worn an Ideale saddle? Thanks for...

Two questions: How much for the pink sled and will you ship?

My garage bike is aptly decorated

This one could also be in Birds and Bikes, or is it Bikes and Birds. If you zoom in you can see our local Bald Eagle pair in the bare tree. Beautiful day for sure.

Happy fall from mid-Michigan. Rode my 1950 Schwinn World through the woods. Beautiful time of year here.

I was the first to reply to the CL "for sale" post. Drove an hour to pick it up. Came from the Netherlands when the original owner passed and left it to his son. Spent the better part of two months on the rehab work. Will never find another one like this. '36-'37 Dutch made Gazelle Popular...

Does anyone recognize those bars? Would they have been found on a different Raleigh or maybe a different brand entirely?

Serial number has been noted from the seat lug. It reads 8675309.... no no .... that was a phone number IIRC. Here it is 3675361. Again thanks to Mr Kaminer's site, The Headbadge, seems it is a 1972 build. https://www.kurtkaminer.com/TH_raleigh_serials.html#mid60

I can't understand that one. I hope my collection doesn't end up in a dumpster. T'would be a shame!

Haven't narrowed down to a specific year but according to Mr Kaminer's Headbadge site the frame decor was from '69-'72 and the Coffee color was available in '70 and later so.... "70 to '72. I still need to record the s n so stay tuned for that update. No other markings on the rack...

Sorry for the delay. Stamping on the clamping

Let me add, Welcome to the CABE!

I have a bit rougher specimen of the same bike. Mine's not the superb edition but found it to be very enjoyable after it was tuned up. I'm still looking to upgrade a few of the bits that I used to complete her. Maybe you could share some more images perhaps including the serial number. I'll...

My neighbor, er... ah... my new favorite neighbor, brought me a bike that she found in someone's trash while walking her dog. She knew that I liked old bikes but little did she know this treasure was one of my favorites. The bike has an MSU bicycle license sticker on it and I suspect that it...

I know the Sports has the wider flat fender braces compared to this model with the wire braces. I love my '68 Robin Hood. I ride it regularly.

Supered up this Superbe. Found a 63 Deluxe model with a nice working light system and a cool old rear carrier. Moved those items to this bike. Haven't seen the Enwell rack before but it looks right at home on her. Lights cleaned up really nice too.

My money is on a parts swap by an owner of the bike. Haven't heard or seen of it in a catalog but am only familiar with American editions. Have plans for such a bike and all the bits in my hopper. Will post when project has reached top of queue.

Love it. Had an identical one... or two... or three. 😁 Very reliable bikes. Nothing quite the same as the tick, tick, tick, from that three speed hub. Remember two add a few drops of lightweight oil in to it. It'll last forever.

I, along with others I'm sure, would love to see any information that you would be able to share. This place is all about sharing and learning as far as I have seen. No need to send a dm when we could all benefit from what you might share. Thank you Beautiful machine @HerrOtto

Great looking bike, great photo documentation. That bike will clean up very nicely. Looks to have all the og goodies.

It's not clutter if it's easy to find what you need. I know it's somewhere in here

Well I spent next to nothing and I am a sucker for rough looking bikes. I'll get this mechanically sound and running right and I won't have to worry about anyone stealing it. I am always on the look out for the nicer ones but couldn't resist grabbing this one. It's old paint and patina found...

Can anyone tell me what the W/O on the rim stands for? Thank you

Thank you Sir. I hope to be able to clean up and service this old ARX system and dial it in. Seems I might be able to follow some of your advice from the past. Remember this post from the linked thread...

That's okay. I really appreciate the history you shared. I feel this bike is even more special knowing it was made during the end of an era.

@juvela what can you tell me about the Suntour ARX mechs? Thanks

I just picked up this bike and I was really happy to acquire it. It's a little rough around the edges but the frame looks solid and straight. From the research I've done it seems that it is a Carlton Worksop built Raleigh from the summer of 1978 . I couldn't find a Carlton catalog from '78 but...

From my experience the white accents are referred to as darts. '61 and '62 are the only years that Raleigh incorporated these darts in their paint scheme this way.. This bike rides so well and is so balanced I rode for blocks with no hands on the bars, even turning corners.

Now some pictures from my ride after the completion. Is the bike black and white or green and white? Depends on the lighting. @juvela will be happy to know Sir Walter has had his pin snugged up "prop"erly. I placed a 24 tooth cog on the rear to make a 2:1 ratio with the front 48 tooth...

I got this bike's rehab completed. Pictures to follow. First thing that I wanted to share was the problem I faced with the rear brake. As you can see in the "before" picture, the adjuster is spun all the way up leaving no room for adjusting as the brake pads wear. When I reassembled the brake...

MOS - M on frame = 1948. Fork matches that year build.

Wtf? Streaming only today in the US? From broadcast TV to streaming only? That's a steaming pile of....... Am I missing something?

Same bike

Welcome to the CABE!

I really appreciate this thread and look forward to your updates. I feel I can catch up on what happens while I'm working just by checking in here. Thank you for this awesome post and keep up the good work. That Trek bike is sick! 🤩

Thank you. I hope you're feeling better soon. Parts are looking good. Reassembly is my favorite part because next comes the riding. 😃
