A couple things this week. My friend Wayne sent me this Bike Air Speedometer. These were made just post war and as soon as I saw it I knew the bike it would go on
The second thing I got I have been searching for a while. A huge shout out to @petritl for getting me in touch with the seller and making this happen for me. Tad could have easily bought this and turned a good profit or had me pay the pass through fee but he is a true stand up guy and friendship prevailed-thanks Tad. So on to the bike--1987 Hetchins Magnum Opus. It has something of a mixed groupset and I'm still pondering which way to go with it. The brake levers will certainly be changed out for Campy C Record but I'm torn on changing out the Nuovo Record for C Record. I also think I'll change the Selle Royal saddle for a Brooks B17 Chamion Narrow. Lastly I'll remove the ugly touch ups and clean the frame up and replace the bar tape. That will probably be good enough for a while. V/r Shawn
I love the friendships made through these awesome machines!
Tad is a great guy!
1936 Electric and I received a birthday present this week from Marty @cyclingday : Pacific Power & Light topper.
I absolutely Love it; Thank you Marty!
I'd say you're spot on at '36. Torrington stem and long-pull crossbars, early small slot paisley chainring, flying V fork, wire chassis Troxel, straightside rims. She looks completely original and untouched. Nice
I was a good boy this week and saved my money. My wife went to an Estate sale Thursday, that was being closed down at 5pm , due to non essential businesses shutdown order. Everything had to go.She said she got these lamps for a song. She got 5 of them but she hasn't found a place for it.
The derailleur is dated '74. Road bikes are not really in my wheelhouse and I just know what I like but am just learning the componetry of these machines. @juvela may be able to answer this question. V/r Shawn
