  • Was in NY just over a month ago with friends, here's all the bike snaps. If anyone knows where I can get a speedometer like that (you'll know which pic I mean) then please let me know.

  • fin.

  • Good honest bicycles. It makes me proud of my rough daily bike.

    I too was thinking of getting an analog speedometer !!

    They are not too hard to find . . . .

    Give me a minute I have some links somewhere . . . . . . . .

  • woop!! show me show me.

  • Here you go, around £5 a pop !

    One word of warning - unlike digital speedos that work with a magent - these old style ones work off friction against the wheel so do slow you down a tiny bit.

    click

    I like this one below - it has nice colours to keep your hip hop slave bike on the cutting edge of cycle fashion.

    click

    There are a load if you search around - and cheap too:

    16 Euros

    Also 16 Euros

  • think i have a semi on. I quite like the top one actually. silly question but you aint found any in mph?

    Edit: its ok found them

  • I would be sorely tempted to buy the second one down (the colourful one) - pop off the front 'glass' - and put in my own dial design printed out on a ink jet.

    I think it says - 'warm up' - 'normal' - 'vigorous' and 'limit' - (not 100% sure about what the last one says /)

    I would change them to 'track stand' - 'pub' - 'RLJ' and 'no chance'

    If you 'needed' MPH all you would have to do is print out yourself a new dial from on an inkjet so you could use any of the above.

    Here is a smaller MPH version.

  • hhhmmm

    'SPORTS' or 'KING I' versions.

    Just like the Record/Dura-Ace quandary.

    The 'sports' is a bit faster.

  • I would change it to: Mild Varicose, Light Coronary, Embolism and -----------------------------

  • u can't change the wheel size on the analog speedometer
    if its calibrated to a 700c wheel, then thats alright, what if its not?

    you're not buying it for accuracy, are you? ;)

    Change the dial face, print out a new set of numbers.

    You would need some way of knowing you are going at a certain speed (perhaps borrow a 'real' digital speedometer?).

    Get yourself up to 30mph (or whatever you can manage) check your speed on the digital speedo - wherever the hand/indicator is pointing on the analog speedo is - of course - 30mph, make a mental note.

    Use this mark to interpolate back down to '0' when you knock up the new graphics for the new dial face.

  • I'm getting one of those...amazing!

  • think i have a semi on.

    Me too...

  • lol how long have you been waiting for someone to say that so you could whip that picture out.

    Since 2005, it would appear.

    (please note that I understand the concept of a wine vintage and this is just an unfunny joke)
