Two Continental Race 28 inner tubes. I'd post pictures, but I wouldn't want anyone to get over excited.

I got a new Rock Shox 30 fork for my 2001 Raleigh M60. The original fork was a Jett fork that was recalled in 2002. I didn’t know about it till I was reading posts in Bike Forums. SRAM shipped me the new fork without hesitation at all. I may become a SRAM convert on my next bike.

Crap! I opened the box - and they're Race 28s! Well, I'll keep them anyway...

Now I gotta order four more - hope they send the right size this time!

Two 27x1 1/8" Paselas from Walmart.

Didn't want to buy from Walmart, but it was the best total price I found online, $63.

Today was like Christmas.

What started as "I am looking for 26 x 1-3/8 rims (590's)" post in the ISO thread at first led to the gifting of a set of lovely chromed steel rims that will set my late uncle's Superbe back on the road in better condition, and then some additional communication with cudak888, who was in the right place at the right time to scavenge some great wheel parts as the Line fleet in Miami was getting tossed. What arrived today was all that he was able to lay hands on and pack up for a chance at a new life up in these parts. Wheels got disassembled to fit nicely into the two boxes. There's fixings here for 3 sets of alloy wheels with dyno hubs and 3-speed IGH's.

This will give a new lease on life to a late 60's Raleigh Sports that's been languishing in the project queue and also an older, basic black Robin Hood (which is going to get built up as a non-destructive, upgraded "Bumble Bee" machine). The Sports is definitely going to be moved along as is likely the Robin Hood - hopefully to a local home that will get good use from them. Whatever I won't be able to use in-house will get offered to help get some other bicycles back on the road locally.




Oh. To re-iterate. Kurt's an A+ fellow whom I've known through BikeForums for as long as he's been here. He asked me to make sure to let folks know that his window to collect usable parts from the ride-share bikes in his area has closed. There are no more that he can obtain.

For those who may be unfamiliar with "Bumble Bee"

This bright yellow set of hoods were waiting for me when I got home from a day of torrential downpours, howling winds, hail and lightning storms.

Made my day!


Majorly bright yellow!

Glad to have got these to you, John.

Incidentally, there are a couple of them left, but whatever's still good are the later 3rd-gens Spins, which have 559mm wheels and none of the fun parts for English roadster upgrading.

Anyway, after fixing up and donating close to 600 of these things since last year, I'm calling it quits



Your Robin Hood project reminds me of something I built long ago - which had a fairly legendary thread involving both Sheldon Brown and Mark Stonich, in addition to many of our long-term C&V members.

Nice goodies from two trades, Suntour thumb shifters for the Super Course project, and a pair of Brooks: a B17 and Flyer. I'm going to try the Flyer on my Mk. I tomorrow.

Some more parts for my pending Nikor build.

Used but excellent condition 28h Ambrosio hubs with H+Son Archtype rims, and a Campagnolo Record titanium seat post. I added a bit of polish and they've buffed up nicely.

The maker of this light asked me to review it in exchange for a refund. I am not normally kind to people who do this, but I am truly impressed with this light. It feels very well built. The battery lasts longer than claimed. And it's insanely bright, brighter than anything I've had. Rated at 800 lumens, though I don't know how to assess how close it is to that. When they ask me to test a product that I don't find to be good, I just don't write a review.

Ordered on March 26 and delivered today, Covid-19 made a mess out of shipping from Japan. No ones fault, just the new normal.
Now on to the happy stuff... I received my Nitto CT-1 Craft stem 26mm X 100mm extension and it was worth the wait.

800 lumens? Be careful that you don't start a forest fire!

Seriously. I have to handle it carefully in the high modes, because I don't want to point it into anyone's eyes, including mine.
