    the fitting of the saddle clamp in this manner helps to give a more forward riding position and puts you closer to the vertical line of the bottom bracket if that is required/preferred.
    @skully kids today eh? rolls eyes

  • At last, the vintage men are here! I mean that in the nicest possible way.

    My apologies...
    Despite the hint of sarcasm, I was genuinely intrigued...
    So, er... Thanks ?

  • No-one's offended dilster. I wanted to show you lots of bikes, with similar old-fashioned geomtry, set up this way. coppiThat decided to put it into words for you. I used to think the exact same thing, then I learned that it was done like that in the 'good old days' (eek).

    Can't believe no-one's bought this, really. Makes the Pashley Guvnor look silly when you can buy actual old things rather than faux reproductions.

  • Yeah, I thought £200 posted was a pretty fair price.
    I've got some nos Bluemels mudguards I can throw in. Yellow I think.
    Or some more period white ones, which are quite fragile, but more in keeping.

  • anyone know where i can get a chater-lea cottered crank from? mine sheared and it was more depressing than my girlfriend leaving me.

  • Does it have to be Chater?
    I've got a mint Williams track chain set.

  • If you aint sold it you can hang it in my new vintage shop im sure it will sell for double that in 5 mins!

  • Thanks for your message if it was 23" or larger I would of been interested.The search continues
