Please leave this alone, I would very much like it. One of my all time favorite designs.

If it was my size you would have a fight on your hands sir! As it isn't I wish you good luck.

is that yours?

I'm kinda assuming its my size...
Its a bit of a gamble...
But I think I'm going to lose the Klein I was bidding on.

But forum name ≠ real name

This is pretty awesome:

Stylish pencil type Cat Eye front lamp which is great for your retro mount. I had one of these in the1990’s and it was a great light which can also be readily used for around the house. Lightweight for its day, the weight weenies would probably turn their nose up at it these days but, in my opinion, it is a reliable and well built unit. Its takes the ‘C’ size batteries(LR14, R14, MN1400, UM2, HP), and the NiMH type are available with a capacity of 9500mAh. The most powerful in the early 1990’s was around 1600mAh, so these should give plenty of additional night time riding between recharges. I reckon you would get a full 9-12 hours duration but I have to admit to my lack of basic electrical engineering knowledge.

You too Bobbyfett, leave that one alone! I'm planning to buy it for my brother as the Cougar is too big for him.

Now go to your eBay and hit the 'stop watching' button!

I'm staying well out of the Bob Jackson hunt.
Just thought it a pretty bike.

any use to anyone? http://www.groupon.co.uk/deals/brighton/discount-supplements/3597560

I always miss these when they go for cheap and watch them when they go for a fuck load.

Practically everything on a bike is imperial.

Bearings were developed in Europe and have always been officially metric. The maths behind engineering is far easier if you use SI units. The leftover imperial components are related to tubing sizes, and everyone refers to them in metric anyway (eg 27.2mm posts).

I don't trust someone who refers to axle sizes in imperial to understand anything about component design beyond aesthetics.
