My buddy has a newer Raleigh with an eccentric BB. The bike has not lived a nice life and has all kinds of little issues. While trying to make some other repairs, one of the bolts froze and broke in the eccentric BB. Fortunately I was able to extract the broken portion. A new eccentric BB was $60 and it was difficult to source a replacement bolt. So I found another m4 bolt, found some little nuts that I filed down to fit inside the shell, and plan to red loc-tite the little assembly together when it's together.

I have really liked this thread lately. Brakes, and possibly a front/rear brake combo sounds appealing to my aching knees. Here's a shelf in my house (I need to get off internet classifieds), what would lend itself best to a road fixed build? HVZ Sport Git, forkless GTB from hell, Pake Rumrunner, or "Villin" with oddball curved seat stays made by a local guy?

Love it! Interesting frame, I don't often see track dropouts with rack mounts and front & rear brake mounting options.

I live in the states and rarely see Claud Butlers. I love crusty bikes, but damn this one's looking especially rough. Still tempting at $50...

Hopefully this is the start of good things, I want to love Miche! Especially considering the discontinuation of Omniums, Campy Pistas, and old age of Dura Ace 7700s.

Bought a purple Paul seatpost for my ol beloved Muss. She performed beautifully during two days on the trails and a critical mass ride.
I found a complete Celeste Cuss for sale in my size, considering a 10 hr round-trip drive to go get it.

Sorry for all the pics, but I'm pretty pleased that it's ridable again. The paint is surprisingly beautiful and the red/white pinstriping is lovely.

She was beat on for a while, but she's been living a good retirement. Took me about a year to find all the parts and put this together. 1964 Kharkov Velocipyed Zavod Record.
Interesting local find, a Vicious made for 2007 Interbike. Supposedly a real early 27.5" I always liked the beefy eccentric BBs. I'll see about finding a Thompson and some bars closer to the originals.
