I am taking my 1957 Newton built in Shepherds Bush to L'Eroica and need a suitable 4 speed cassette for hill climbing as the current one is murder in the hills
thanks a million

Hi Lance, We met at L'Eroica in 2008 and I'll be there again this year.You can fit a five speed freewheel in that frame which from memory didn't have a cyclo rear derailleur limited to 4 gears only. I probably have something in five speed to suit. What range do you want? If you tell me the derailleur I will have a good idea of max. sprocket size. If you are very keen to keep to 4 speed I can probably pick one up for you on May 16th when I am meeting up with some other collectors. (I am the guy who hoped to persuade his wife to do Lands End John O'Groats with the kids on tandem and tagalong. No luck that year but I have just acquired a 1939 Claud Butler Triplet so maybe...)Give me a ring if I can be of help 07969 655183. Cheers, Geoffrey

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
