Hi Roberta, I do not have a Flyer but I will recommend keeping an eye on Bill Laine's (wallbikeparts) sales on ebay. Bill owned and ran Wallingford Bike Parts before retiring (I think) and now sells stock on eBay. He is highly respected and, from everything I know I know, one of the best...

Thanks Kai. @Patrick, I ride in Portland, OR, with 95% of the time in the 40x16. Rides in Forest Park and the west hills require the switch to a lower gear. Honestly, the 32x18 is fine for what I ride. Riding year round in Portland necessitates fenders, though, and I suspect that 16/19 will

Re: [RBW] Crowd sourcing ideas for vintage parts for a new randonneuring rig (semi sort of WTB)

Lesli I agree with Steve's comments. A new Deore, e.g. M591, would be much better than vintage. The points have better coatings and are freshly lubed, and the range is larger than vintages. Also, the price is very reasonable, $39.99 for a Deore M591. John Hawrylak Woodstown NJ. -- You
