Hey all,
Made a new video for the channel. I go through all the shelves and drawers in the bikecave. See anything you need let know. I'm not actively selling but if you see a small tidbit that would help you out let me know.

Love your videos and love your collection, but could I ask your to hold your camera still and not move it around constantly? It makes it tiring to watch.

Your Triomphe crankset has a little bit different and better looking spider than Victory. Also, the Triomphe extraction threads are standard, unlike Victory, which uses reverse threading and a self-extracting bolt.

these are pretty useful. you'll shoot steadier over the shoulder and can put it down like a tripod or hold it infront of you. The light cheap ones are better even for casual use. I'm really jealous of your bikes btw.

Thanks much! I'm looking at a Go Pro Camera with a hand held mount that is supposed to be steady!. I also need to learn to pace myself with the camera. I just learned how to edit. I hope these videos become more interesting but not exhausting to watch! LOL

I think a tripod would be good to start with. I know you like to go from one bike to the next - you can just insert a fade-in/fade-out between each still shot.
you should do some videos on your restoration process- your bikes look amazing and I am sure they didn’t come to you looking like that!

Hi, Thanks for your suggestion of a Tripod. Probably a good idea. The bikes I get usually do not need paint work! Im pretty patient in finding the bikes with good original paint. I did paint my cannondale SR. My Red Colnago I believe is a repaint however I'm not sure. I just dont buy bikes with "patina". I dont know why I enjoy the newer looking bikes. Im sure I'll do some build videos. I actually started a couple to be shown later. I think people will get bored watching me polish parts, don't you think?

Your video visit was lots of fun, thanks for sharing!

The 57T chainring makes good sense when you're using a freewheel that starts at 14t.

If those 27" rims are narrow then I am definitely interested!

Thanks. That 57 was on my 84 Paramount that has a triple crank. The original owner of that bike said he wanted it to be unique. It shifted horribly!!! Plus you couldn't use a 28T in the rear because you couldn't use the big big combination. So I took it off.
The 27inch wheelset was originally off of a vintage paramount. They are wide. Made for 27x1 1/4 tires. Are you looking for 27 inch narrow wheels?

Yeah, looking for E-2 or (polished) Gentleman rims in 27".

I've got two good vintage bikes needing rear rim replacement, using the original hub and spokes.

I would love to find a pair so as to save on shipping. Frankly I was surprised to find that didn't have any suitable rims squirreled away!
I found bare 1320's and wide rims but no E2s.

The only 27 inch narrow rims I have are Ambrosio AEro Durex rims. They are good rims. NOS but has shopwear.
I have Araya box 27x1 1/4 NOS as well.
