Beautiful! That rear derailleur housing looks a little bit long.

Very pretty bike. Eddy got Ugo DeRosa to set up his shop and it was obvious given the result. Nagasawa also learned from Ugo. The Delta brakes are quite rare. I had one of the first made (Record C group, ‘86) and replaced them with Cobalto calipers.

About the only portable stand that is suitable for a 55 lb bike is the new Feedback, which is MUCH more robust than the other two models. I think you could get by with a homemade unit hanging from a beam though. I have a powered Park and it spoils you. The Unior is nice too, but this is...

The original Bullseye crankset. It’s a design widely used today, only dumbed down for mass production.

This has nothing to do with “roadie” vs. “MTB” If you require a numeral to tell you “what gear” you’re in, you are looking at the wrong end of the telescope. You try to maintain a certain RPM. If you’re climbing it goes down (that means becomes numerically smaller) and if sprinting it goes up...

Yes, the adjustable cup is pretty severely pitted. Nothing you can do about that except replace it. This looks like an old Wald headset. They were very inexpensive, but threaded headsets are so hard to find nowadays and I can’t believe the prices. Another option is to just replace the upper half...

The bottom race takes the brunt of the wear. You could remove the bottom cup and crown race and rotate them ninety degrees to smooth the unit out. Replace the retainers with loose balls. If you choose to replace the entire headset you’ll need to measure the stack height and crown race diameter...

Knipex. Worth a look.

I have a West German made Herters revolver. If you’ve never read one of George Herter’s books then you might want to. They are endlessly entertaining.

The slickest? I would suggest looking at Dumonde Tech products. I have zero affiliation with them.

How soon can you get a UOA? Until then it’s just speculation, right?

This product works great! This is the NO chew deterrent. I think the buyer wanted the Chew Deterrent. This is the product you spray on your pet’s food if they won’t eat it (presumably).

That is some excellent nutshelling!

Two words: cane shotgun.

Weel done, cutty sark!

You need to try Finish Line One Step. It takes moments with a microfiber cloth and leaves the chain gleaming. I clean a dozen chains a day and haven’t used the giant buzzing parts cleaner in weeks.

A conventional patch kit would include cold vulcanized patches. The classic was the Rema Tip Top . Tubes have gotten much worse in the last few years, and so have tires. I hate to say it, but it’s a race to the bottom. I don’t patch tubes as a rule (I don’t have to) except for the occasional...

I would never run a tire down to the cord like that. I see that tire and, no offense intended, but I think, why would I ever listen to this guy? In the parlance of the times, you do you. But my brain is insisting that’s not safe. Maybe you should fit a car tire up there. Sure would last longer.

OP will never have to bleed his brakes, but you’re right that hydraulic brakes should be bled, (and suspension forks should be serviced).These are two things that generally speaking never get done until there’s a problem, which is a problem. In fact, most bearings never get serviced until they...
