Not sure what the deal is although they have 100% pos feedback which is good and also based in Haggerston which is very nearby

remind me again why are these so expensive?..


They were the rim of choice for many pro teams in the 80's. I imagine the NOS pairs command such a high price due to demand from people restoring (with large budgets) rare team bikes from that era. Personally I would use Wolber Profil 20/A rims for a fracion of the cost.

An absolute steal if you are 6' plus. It's the XL (59 c-t, 59 tt) size.

Wow. Not for you, Dwayne?

The price will probably skyrocket.

Plus it's missing a piece, so I'll pass.

which one?

Small spacer/shim that sits between the top plate and stem body.

Stupid question but is there a need for this?

Regina 16-16-16-16-16-16 freewheel - £81 BIN - US

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120633723121&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

i asked the same question a while ago
no answer so far...

[INDENT]Here's why

****This freewheel is one of the very few TRUE STRAIGHT BLOCKS in existence. ****Shifting is only required once every 1500 to 4000 miles, when a cog wears out. (If you replace your chain regularly, you'll get closer to the high end of this since stretched chains wear cogs very, very quickly.)
*This particular model also has the very rare gold indicator cogs:**** when having to shift so infrequently it is*** easy to forget when nearing the end of the cogset's life;- if you should glance back whilst riding and notice you are on one of the gold cogs, it means that you are nearing the time for a rebuild and should procure a new set of cogs before the end of the riding season.

[/INDENT]

Still makes no sense to me

why this 6 cog would be better then running a single cog and replacing it as needed. plus you still need a derailleur.
