Watching her in A Boy a Girl etc. I was thinking a very young Anne Francis? (Cf. Forbidden Planet.) Did you catch the couple on the tandem with the sidecar for the baby? I think they are the ones where the guy gets hauled off at the end for desertion. What in gods name did that have to do with the main story? The rich guy suddenly announcing at the end that he's "not the marrying sort" AFTER proposing marriage came as a slight surprise.

Great! So that looks like a chain tensioner, not a derailleur. Have you used it? I haven't decided which way I would go.
Are you interested in selling it? I think the one I have in the picture is NOS. I have an operative prewar version of this derailleur on a Phillips. I have two of these postwar Cyclo Standards. One I am saving for my Higgins Ultralite which has the braze-on on the chainstay. I am the second owner of the bike, the original owner had set up the bike single fixed and I have kept it that way so far. The hub is double threaded fixed/free, so I have the option of making it a three speed. |

Yeah, somehow I get the feeling the fork is not mounted properly in the photograph.
Give me a chance. I got a whole plan here for a radical departure in bicycle geometry.... https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...b5779b431f.jpg |

Edit: Ok, I found a description in disraeligears.com. It's a Cyclo Standard, and it operates using a single cable running parallel to the chainstay. The attachment point for the cable is hidden in your picture. Are you interested in selling it? |
Gster this 28 x 1 1/2 Dunlop Westwood rim is in Ontario but they don't mention how many spoke holes. CAD$40 Might be worth asking?

https://www.hoopriderparts.com/28_x_..._15350043.aspx Thanks for that. I'd forgotten about those guys. I've got to make a run up to Bracebridge in the next couple of weeks (vintage boat motor) so could visit these guys as well. Greg |

I keep drooling over these 635mm alloy westwoods...$115 for a pair shipped in my money (AUD). They have 32 hole and 36 hole but no 40 - plus you have the choice of black or black, but I guess you could strip and polish them. https://hollandbikeshop.com/en-gb/bi...bike-28-1-1-2/ you can change the currency in the top menu bar and if you click on order you can get a shipping quote I almost pulled the trigger on a pair last year for a roadster build, but then found a cheap parts roadster with the front westwood I needed. Almost all of the Australian westwood rims I've seen are painted rather than chromed - so are a bit lighter. Possibly a hangover from war-time cutbacks? |

Metal Rescue Review
This product does work. https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...98452a6785.jpg The two cranks and chainwheel. The clean crank has been partially submerged for two days and was in as bad shape as the drive side which was put in just now. Periodic brushing with a soft brass brush helps the process. The product turns from clear to black as it works and must be used at room temperature. The parts should be clean and free of grease/oil etc. |

It's quite true, spins freely and the tube holds air! https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...5fd9873166.jpg We've had an unexpected and unpleasant snowstorm today that has put any outdoor work on hold. |

Rim Question
Here's a Dunlop Westwood wheel that's available locally, listed as 28 x 1 3/4 622 ISO 32h hub Good price. https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...184777541b.jpg Is it suitable for the 1930 Hercules? Can you get tires/tubes for this size? Will 28 x 1 1/2 tires fit (I have these)? The rear wheel fits nicely in the frame and spins freely. https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...041fef269d.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...e237f0ae34.jpg |
I'd go with the 622 because of the abundance of rims and tires although most are 36 hole. George can probably help you out?
Almost all the Brit roadsters I've seen in Canada have had the 622 (700c) rims. As I've posted before, Dunlop made special Canadian sizes for almost every style of bike. |

This rim, 28 x 1 1/2 (635) came from George. NOS taken off an Indian bicycle years ago. https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...40136d0159.jpg I've got this wheel on a bike in the garage and I remember now that the tire size was confusing.

I know somebody here had metal ones, but I can't remember who. |
