  • Hi Mr Bump

    Thanks v much for reply.

    I'm fairly sure mine's a 5-speed. Sounds a bit vague doesn't it, but I've only just acquired it, and it's not stored near here. Also, I don't know if it's got 2 or 3 chainrings.

    Since I posted my ad (in fact repeated, I hadn't spotted your and another reply), a friend has given me a pair of clip-fitting sun-tours, with ratchet friction one way and easy back. Beautifully made, and the only slight flaw is that they're not boss fitting.

    I won't be able to get back to you till next week. But for the moment, it's just thanks very much but no.

    Yes, I've done some great touring too, sweden on a run of the mill hire bike, greece ditto, Brittany with a comfy Gitane tandem with a sort of 'space' frame of small tubes. But when I suggested going this summer, my partner says haven't I grown out of it?!! :)

    Cheers

    Bob
