Hello Eric, I hope you like you're 1x7 setup as much as I do on my '12 Salsa Casseroll. I'm using a CS-HG50 cassette (13,15,17,20,24,29,34), a 44 Sugino chain ring, Deore XT Integrated 8 SIS derailleur, 105 7 SIS down tube shifter and a better quality Shimano 6/7/8 speed chain, something like a

Thanks for the replies. I'll keep a sharp eye out for a good old racing frame from the pre-crit era with horizontal dropouts and bad paint, for cheap. And if anyone has more personal experience comparing particular makes/models with Rivendell road models, I'd like to hear from him/her. I think I'l

Edwin The fact you treated your kids to a small Clem is truly a generous gift. The best gift I ever purchased for my young son was a 43cm Cannondale R500 w 650c wheels. It had Shimano 105 components and drop bars and he road the shit out of that bike. Flew like the wind and carved his love for

Our ten year old son is pretty athletic and was insistent on getting drop bars. I was pretty dubious, but thought it was worth the effort and bought him an old trek 520: https://www.flickr.com/photos/140959259@N03/25082999224/in/dateposted-public/ The fit was pretty terrible and he didn't feel

80cm is already a pretty short stem for a pullback bar..I'm not sure you'll be able to get a dropbar on there that he can reach. Plus if he's enamored of the road bikes he's seeing, he may be interested in more than just the bars. I would recommend finding something used with brifters and see ho

Hi Ian, Those are Stampede Pass, 32mm, and nothing larger will fit - have a few mm clearance on the chainstays. As parts came off the old frame I cleaned them, and before they went on the new frame I polished them. My Honjos were destroyed with the old frame - I saved all the good hardware f

Very nice indeed. What width of tire are those and how is clearance? Interesting choice to put on the racing mudguards of the era, Were those a legal requirement in 60;s and 70's UK? They don't appear to offer a functional benefit. Ian A/Canada On Monday, November 21, 2016 at 6:37:46 AM UT
