Ideally we would like to match the frame with some nice Chater-Lea tandem cranks. If anyone has a suitable pair I would be very interested.

Many Thanks

Was it the Hilary Stone website? http://hilarystone.com/CCheadsetsandbbs.html

Btw, great looking ride. I cannot wait to get mine to that point!

Hi

I am just starting a complete refurb of a vintage Chater-Lea tandem. Main items I need are cranks/chainrings and handlebars (what is shown is nasty 70s bar) but also if you have anything else which seems appropriate then let me know. Pictures below.

Cheers

Looking for chrome hubs. Will used with a three speed freewheel on a vintage bike.

Anyone know where I might be able to put my hands on a pair of Airlite Hubs in decent condition. Been watching ebay and just scruffy examples coming up for silly money.

Cheers

Hi All

Does anyone know if there is a standard width for traditional toe clips for the two screws (ie centre to centre width between the two screw holes)? I think its 30mm but do they / did they vary?

Thanks

Hi

I want to purchase the very best toe clip to accompany a vintage platform road pedal. Also ideally a leather strap to go with it. Any ideas on who has the best performing and best designed product on the market? I know I can buy used but I want to buy this item new.

Thanks

Arb

James - they look awesome - but also a little pricey. Always good to have options ;). Your advice much appreciated. Cheers

They look very interesting. Any suggestions with Steel?

cheers

Hi All

Which brand / manufacturer produce the absolute top end sealed pedal bearings? I would also prefer to source from UK manufacturer.

I am not looking to set a new hour record but rather to fit a great bearing, low maintenance and pretty much bomb proof and good for years to come.

Thanks

Apologies should have specified. 1960s but want to buy a new style pedal to mix it up.

Hi

Any quill pedal suggestions as an ideal partner for a vintage road bike. I am looking to go upmarket and dont mind spending upto a couple of hundred for something really special. Bike will be used for long day rides and some distance touring - not really speed work.

Thanks

Hi All

I am looking for some chromed 17/64" 25 TPI Whitworth bolts. Ideally NOS or high end repros. Any sources would be welcomed.

Thanks

Arb

@Scilly.Suffolk -- thanks appreciated!

@edmundro -- thanks for that.

@Scilly.Suffolk -- where is that thread situated. Cannot find it?

Ok will do. Thanks.

Hi All

Any idea where I can find some chromed 17/64" 25 TPI whitworth bolts? Ideally original NOS or if not maybe some repros??

Thanks

Great project. I am working on a '48 rebuild myself albeit with components from 40s-60s. Enjoy..

Still looking..... there has to be a set lurking somewhere..!

I am still hunting for these. Anyone have any they would part with??

Helpful thanks!

Hi All

Am I correct in thinking that this vintage pedal would have originally come with a small bar to slot into the hole to tighten the pedal onto the crank arm rather than a wrench? It looks like the hole would remain visible which I guess is no bad thing?

This is a helpful discussion. Anyone know where you can get more vintage / eroica style custom jerseys with low minimums - say 10..

bump..

I recently posted in the wanted forum for a small vintage part I just could not find. No only did someone have the part but they shipped it to me entirely for free on the basis of 'Pay it Forward'. I know its a pretty negative world out there right now, but when the brotherhood/sisterhood of cyclists turns into a hate fest then we really are all doomed. Lets keep it positive, give people the benefit of the doubt and show a little more trust. There will always be scammers, but I have no sense they are praying on people here.
