i hope he didn't wash them. there's quite a market for those.

the-smiling-buddha All my early knicks had a chamois that was essentially flat
that is what I want some of them old fashioned nothing to fancy nice bit of chamois abd a tub of cream...;)

You can still get them but I can't suggest any (see other post somewhere).
As for cream, the expensive option is the Assos stuff which roadies use by the bucketload but there's cheaper options.
I recall some peeps back home using some kind of baby cream for nappy rashes or something silly. The guy who wrote French Revolutions used something along those lines too. Savlon? Doesn't sound right.. Super Glue? hmm.. not that either..

Not sure how you get petroleum jelly out of your shorts...perhaps he doesn't want to ;-)

Looks like a NASA shot from the surface of Mars.. "life Jim but not as we know it.."

who else apart from hippy has one of these?

mind those 27" wheels.

That one's a bit older than mine, it's actually '73 not a '70 according to the info at Sheldon's. Different dropouts, lugs, wrapped stays, repainted. I'd like another 56cm one if I can find it.

It would probably be a pain in the ass. Old frames mean old BB, seatpost, wheel, etc. measurements which are often obsolete and hard to find.

yeah, you'll definitely need to swap out the bb because 115mm spindle will give u chainline probs.

26" will give a more agressive geometry but look cool.

and you might have trouble getting brakes to work.
Not much info though - what are they made out of? False advertising if they're not 'MAGnesium'..

So is this not real? Or maybe a silly high reserve.
