Ride it if it's your size, sell it to someone who will if it's not. I'll be doing the former with my '82 Team as soon as it warms up a bit.

Yeah, they're both wrong. The '74 English catalog shows the PX10E with contrast-painted Nervex Pro lugs. The PX10LE of that year had plain lugs and was apparently single-color. My '73 English catalog...

Read it again, but change the word "bitterness" to "toxicity". Much of what I've seen is a bunch of people who think they're important complaining about the inconvenience of helping people. That...

I try to set up bikes as they would have been when they were new or, in the case of stuff sold as a frameset, in a way that makes sense for the time period. Since most are from the cotton era they...

I always think it's bizarre when threads like this pop up in the C&V section. We're not supposed to be here for the best or the fastest or the smoothest or the most practical. If that's what we...

I rebuild mine because oil leaks out and doesn't do as good a job as grease. Most aren't that hard to deal with, though Reginas can be a bit of a pain. I won't even touch Sunrace or the other generic...

Wow, that's fantastic. Every now and then I start thinking about building a frame but I haven't worked up the courage to try just yet. Doubt I'll be taking any of your business if I ever do, though.
