Thanks for the info! Interesting that the cyclery logo is still up there. I presume you haven't been around since 2003 -- or have you, and Bill & Andy's is still before that time?

I have a chest strap HRM -- the Polar H10. I just use it with Polar Beat on my phone, which also gets GPS data, though my phone's GPS seems to often be a little noisy. When I ride I just start the...

Such a thing would work great for me. Riding a bike that is represented in that 1986 catalog would be super sweet.

I suppose when I begin looking I'll make a new thread asking about what to look...

My impression is that there is a way to cycle from Boston to the airport, passing through Cambridge, Charlestown, and Everett -- which is why I recalled the notion. Truck traffic doesn't sound so...

This page (https://www.kurtkaminer.com/TH_raleigh_cat_usa86.html) has the 1986 catalog and seems sourced from the same scan. My impression was that the 1986 catalog covered more than just...

I want to see the 100 mph lunar railbike within my lifetime. No air resistance on the lunar surface + low rolling resistance from steel on steel.
