    does anyone know where i can purchase a seat?  my daughter is now
    riding her brother's outgrown bike, and she's complaining that the seat
    is uncomfortable [she's only 7, that could have something to do with it
    too!]  i think the seat may be too narrow/too hard for her.  any
    suggestions?

    Two 27x1 rims, alloy, 36 hole.  I would prefer a box-section narrow
    rim, but I'm also interested in cheapness (and straightness).  I'll
    consider whole wheels, depending on cost, but I've decided to try my
    hand at wheelbuilding and return the Viscount to its original (27")
    configuration in one go.  If you've got some old stuff cluttering up
    the basement, let me know.
    
    I'm also on the lookout for a frame.  52cm, 531 or similar.  Doesn't
    have to be too modern, in fact I'd like something rather traditional. 
    For reasons I can't explain, an English steel bike seems most
    attractive, but again it may come down to what I find.  Upwards of 20
    years old is OK as long as it's not damaged or rusted.  This will be a
    scrounging project, since I don't *need* a new bike, but I'd like
    something a little snappier in handling, something like a European road
    race geometry.  I think it would be fun to put it together too.
    
    If I find the frame, I'll probably be looking for other bits.  Nifty
    stuff from the early 80's primarily.

sale.

    Thanks Jim. I called them on the phone. They are the same
    Bibcyle Classics who used to be in Denver, CO. They do
    have plenty of 5-speed ORO freewheels in stock. At $34
    a piece they should be around for a long time.

    In the meantime, I located a supplier in Michigan
    who has 5-speed Shimano freewheels for $15. I ordered
    a few of them.

    It is getting really tough to locate consumable items
    for older bicycles. I have a Raleigh Proffesional and
    a Holdsworths Super Mistral. Both are top quality bikes
    and fun to ride. However the rear ends are spaced for
    5 speeds. 

    Bob Anderson

    One advantage to the older stuff - Suntour, Diacompe, ... is that it
    lasts a long time.  I have 10 years of daily riding on my road bike
    and the only hardware that is suffering is the spokes - on average, I
    replace 1 per month.  That and many tires are all I have replaced.
    The original chain still works fine.  Those friction shifters never
    need adjustments either.  Consider yourself fortunate to own a dinosaur
    bike...

RE: -.2

Bob,

Glad you found an inexpensive source.  Did you ask Bicycle Classics how much a
Suntour freewheel costs?  They are quite a bit less than the Regina Oro ones. 

BTW, I restored the 3-speed Phillips you sold me and my mother is enjoying it
in Florida. It looks and rides like a new bike, but it took a lot of hours of
restoration to get it there.  The special handlebars and 4-speed hub, along
with a pair of 26 X 1 3/8 alloy club rims (from San Francisco) and a new
hairpin seat (also from California) are being built into a 1969 Dunelt man's
bike in original candy apple red.  It's one of the nicest looking bikes I have
ever seen.   If all goes as planned, I will be riding it on the 4th of July.

Jim 

    I dont think you want to do this but ...
    I think you could easily place a 6 or 7sp freewheel back there without
    any modification to the frame.  I have done this with my old Trek and
    it works fine.   Given that your bikes are steel you could also have
    the rear spacing increased by a shop.    
    -L

    Back in the late seventies, they changed from 5 speed to 6 speed
    narrow with the same spacing.  You may need a 1mm washer, but that is
    about it.  If you have 120mm spacing, fitting a 7 speed would require
    a bit of prying the rear end, or having it cold set to 126mm.

    This is even more true for Campy equipment. The early suntour
    derailleurs would last about a year for me. The Campy Nuovo
    Record derailleur on my Holdsworth must have 25-30K miles on
    on according to my trusty Huret Multido. It is hard to tell
    exactly how much because I went through several Cateye 
    speedometers that went berserk after only a year or two.

>    The original chain still works fine.

    A streched chain will take out a freewheel first and then the
    chainwheels. Replacing a chain every 3K miles or so is cheap
    protection for more expensive components.

>     Consider yourself fortunate to own a dinosaur bike...

    My first ten speed was a Schwinn Varsity. That was a dinosaur.
    Next was a Dawes Double Blue. That was a little better. The
    Raleigh Pro and Holdsworth Super Mistral have first rate
    531 frames. Hardly dinosaur quailty, I prefer to think of
    them as classics.

    Yeah, if I could find a Ultra-Six, it would probably work fine.
    But they are probably more rare than a five speeds. I have
    cold set frames before to make a six speed fit. However, I
    am loath to do this to classic frames. Moreover, the Holdsworth
    has cracks in the chain stays that have brazed-on patches.
    (What do you want from a frame that has carried panniers through
    Scotland and Norway, completed Paris-Brest, and is my daily
    compmuter?)

    Bob Anderson

    I probably have one or more 6 speeds in my basement.  I think that I
    have a 13/26.  Will trade for a 6 pack.

    I'm looking for a 46t (actually anything from 44 to 48 would work)
    chainring in 144mm bcd.  This is for a fixed-gear beater, so NOS Campy
    is not appropriate... rather the opposite end of the spectrum.  Does
    anyone have an old Sugino or similar ring in this size they'd like to
    part with (somewhat) cheaply?  Dirt and wear shouldn't matter much, up
    to a point.
