They've got a new spot near Bloor and Dundas but I don't know the address. There's a winter show coming up in Brantford. https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...ba77d8f576.jpg |

Thank you. Hope to be there...
the Toronto Show. I chose the end of July so as not to interfere with his original show. |

Interesting thread guys, motivates me to lavish some attention on my 1966 Superbe, bought from the widow of the original owner; a lecturer at the University of Hull during Phillip Larkin's time. He rode it to the university everyday during summer months. Completely original with some paint loss but little or no rust. Green Brooks mattress saddle, green saddle bag and - rare - green Raleigh branded pump, four speed Sturmey Archer...I clicked my Sturmey Archer gear and pedalled'til I nearly burst...dynamo, huge Raleigh branded bell, period mileometer, tools, handbook and event the steering lock key. Headlamp reflector needs re-silvering and new tyres (amberwalls ?), tubes and brake blocks re needed - pedals are shot, but readily available.

Hi Dave,thank you for taking the trouble.
My rear hub brake has the correct arm. It is just the front one. So ok,let me get this straight:you mean that the HSB 408 is not the CORRECT fit for our front brakes? It will fit on but the angle will be incorrect,is that it? That is why you had to have it welded and redone the hole to get the correct angle? As for the rear hub brake,I am lacking the rear lower bell-crank and the adjoining threaded rod to pull the rear brake lever. Were these parts never sold as spares/replacements,but only came with the bike back in those days?🤔 Thank you Dave. All the best!😀👍 To clarify: HSB408 I used on the front and corrected the angle with weld, drill, file to shape. Sorry for the confusion, I see that you asked what number is on the back of the cam arm and thought you were asking about the rear cam arm (which should be part HSB 220). I didn't get to my DL-1 yesterday and am unlikely to see it again for a few more days. Earlier on in this century (seems weird to say that!) there were still some rod-to-drum conversion kits being sold online but I haven't seen or heard of them for a long time. You may be able to piece together a set from individual parts from UK sellers. I'm still looking for a rear access panel for a DL-1 chaincase if anyone has one they might be willing to part with, or sees one for sale, can they please let me know? https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...d0249237c7.jpg |

They can be a real pain in the ass when you need to change a tire and they seem to rub as well. Maybe a new chain was relatively expensive back then. https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...d492c35b8d.jpg Installing a chain.... https://threespeedmania.wordpress.co...rcules-update/ |
I think that the full chaincase may have the mother-of-invention for the pants clip.

Seller says it's English but I don't believe it.

I'm reading a book about the Apollo Space Program. Bendix, well known for their 2 speed kick back hub also built the navigation systems for the Saturn 5 rockets. https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...2d282f5411.png https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...62c75fc748.jpg She's a "speedist" and should learn to be more tolerant and inclusive. |

What a weird ad. Straw hat? Blue bands, yellow bands but 'Look for the red bands'. I didn't think good reefer was available in '61.

I do like a 2 speed kick back. The brakes are the softest, surest, safest but when rare problems occur, take the hub to your dealer 'cuz he's a brake specialist? Maybe Bendix wasn't allowed to promote their involvement in the space program, but straw hats on country girls doesn't work. |

I'm with you. Our family stable has 3 active 2 speed kickbacks. I just think that ad would get a marketing student a failing grade, even in 61.

What was the tallest 'Ladies' frame Raleigh built?
A guy down the road from me has a 6 speed Raleigh Sprite in a ladies frame that's even big for me and I'm 6ft 3" tall with a 36" inseam. The frame resembles the silver Sports above but it sits taller than a comparable man's frame for some reason. I was thinking of buying it to swap the rear wheel over to my same year Sports but the darn ladies frame rides so well I'd hate to part it out. As I get older the step through frame is kind of nice. |

By the late 70's, there's was a lot more cross pollination going on than you suspect. In addition to the Raleigh rim pictured, I've got Michelin tires Made in England to fit it.

My latest project is English, but not a three speed.
