interested in a chat about cycling fashions, but either way my wife swears
by Topo Designs for everyday cycle commuter wear. Judging from your

If you change the rear to a cassette hub, you will likely need to re-space
the drop outs. I'm guessing your current freewheel hub is 126mm.
Spacing.out to 130mm would be okay.
My opinion would be just to change the chainrings to give the higher gear.

There were also a Waterford run of Atlantis. I recall seeing a 56cm MUSA

The original 56cm 26" Atlantis is very cool, but hard to find. It might be

I'm a proponent of sizing to the largest frame that you can comfortably
standover, but obviously the Clem L throws that out the window. The thing
to look out for on the Clem's is the absurdly long effective top tube. I
previously owned a 52 Clem H (83PBH here) and I think it had a 61cm top
offer, but I'm sure we can find something that
will work for both of us. I'm interested in frames or completes.

Re the Sunrace option. I noticed SjS Cycles in the UK carry these. They
also have a good selection of square taper bottom brackets.
I have always found SJS to be completely honest about what they carry, so
you could email them and request an opinion. Reviews on the SJS site for
the 8 and 9
I have two SON28 Classics and a Shimano DH3n80 (which is similar to the
3n72 Bike24 offers). If you can afford the SON, the money is well spent,

I had an incident last year thar still affects me. I was rolling along in
the shoulder, enjoying the day en route the donut shop turnaround point (30
miles out, 30 back) when a pick up driver tried sideswiping me. He had to
aim for me, this was intentional. My reactions meant I swerved clear,
The Europeans have this stuff figured out. Below are three links taken from
Bike24 in Germany. I didn't shop around, just have bought bits from them in

One option is to have a look on Etsy. I did a search for bicycle briefcase
and some nice leather ones popped up. Some are quite expensive, but Etsy is

+1 Matthew's advice is extremely rational. It is becoming increasingly more
difficult to find exact models of any bike nowadays and with a skillful
repair, the bike is literally as good as new, albeit with a marred decal. I

It would be a good idea to let the seller know it happened. Maybe they have
suggestions too. Otherwise, if you want this model and color, it makes
sense to keep the frame. Touch up by a professional would look just fine,
and it's an opportunity to personalise the frame too. I've seen a number
Just insulate the taillight connections with tape (or better heat-shrink)
