15 Mile Ride on the 27 Rollfast

[JimRoy]

Cabers, I took my 1927 Rollfast Camelback for a 15 mile ride today. The bike is very solid and easy to ride. It’s very agile if you know what I mean. I need to replace the brake disc inside the ND Model A, and the chain makes me nervous. I broke a skip tooth chain last year during a ride and my 60ish year old body didn’t like it. I love riding this bike so I may “invest” in a block chain. Some of you my recall that I brought this bike back from the grave. JimRoy

Fifteen miles on vintage iron is quite a ride. Well done.

Nice save, most people would have walked away from that project. Good looking bike.

Do you have a New Departure Model A hub. If so, you can find a used replacement brake disc.

Corbin Duplex model 8, maybe has some grease on it, had it gone through but looking at brake hub see little grease on edge of Hub? Did ride 10 this morn
