Here's one I couldn't find - THREADS!
What is the threading used by the following manufacturers and please
feel free to add mfg's that I've left out. This will help those of us
if we begin to think about changes in components, frames and their
compatibility.
CANNONDALE PINARELLO BASSO KESTRAL FUJI
PEUGOT BIANCI PANASONIC SCHWINN GIANT
SHOGUN CENTURION LOTUS KLEIN MIYATA
SPECIALIZED GREGG LEMOND COLUMBIA GIORDANA TOMMASO
FIORE UNIVEGA COLNAGO GUERCIOTTI TREK
GITANE EDDY MERCKX DEROSA BOTTECHIA ROSSIN
VITUS RALEIGH MOTTA MASI FUSO
SCAPIN ATALA ZINN CONCORDE GIOS
That's it!

| 1362.1 | I have some of those. | NOVA::FISHER | Pat Pending | Tue Nov 07 1989 11:56 | 19 |
Speaking, well, ah, err, writing, for the specimens which are or have
lived in my stable:
Guerciotti, Ciocc, Masi, Paletti and some, but not all, Bianchis
are Italian.
Serotta, Trek, Nashbar, Univega, Fuji, Cannondale, Santana and some,
but not all, Bianchis are English.
I am certain I could make 95% correct guesses on the rest but it's
all based on "Made in Italy => Italian" "Made in Japan, USA, England
=> English" "Made in France => French" "Made in Switzerland => don't
try a guess" Off hand I don't know about the Austrian bikes
(Puch and A-D) but I could look it up.
I always use English freewheels on my Italian hubs anyway (class B
fit).

I imagine that checking in Sutherland's might be a more efficient
way to get the information.

| 1362.3 | different question | NOVA::FISHER | Pat Pending | Tue Nov 07 1989 19:06 | 12 |
RE: .2: On the contrary, Sutherland's does not address the question
of .0, in the manner of "Fuji does this and Ciocc does that." It
primarily address the technical description of what different parts
look like and what "Italian/English/French threads" means in the
context of the various parts. One way or another it gives the rule of
thumb that I typed in .1. It also makes an effort at describing "Swiss
threads" and their evolution.
Now if you want a schematic of a coaster brake or a Sturmey Archer
3 spd hub, that's the best place to go.

| 1362.4 | Sutherland's is the best place to start | DECWET::BINGHAM | John | Wed Nov 08 1989 04:24 | 8 |
Sutherland's does discuss the difference in threads among the countries
and the conventions for left/right handed threads.
A good thread gauge can tell the difference. There are mixed gauges
that have metric, American in the same set.
A given name brand can have different threads depending on where the
frame was built.

| 1362.5 | More manufacturers... | JGO::MELOWEND | Wed Nov 08 1989 06:25 | 11 | |

In fact, Sutherland's lists about 240 different brands.
I had never heard of Autrian threads.
In any case, which would you trust, something you read in a
or what the thread measurement says.

| 1362.7 | You should get your local library to get a Sutherland's for reference | NOVA::FISHER | Pat Pending | Wed Nov 08 1989 12:10 | 18 |
Sutherland's does list brands? I must have missed it :-). I have the
blue and the red editions (I think they are 3rd and 4th). The latest
edition (which I don't have) tells you everything you ever wanted to
know about indexed shifting. I didn't say there were Austrian threads.
The Austrians are smart enough to know that for their bikes to be
competitive in the world they should use an existing standard, as have
the Dutch. I don't know what they did select though.
Does anyone remember the poll that Bicycling did a few years back?
they had a question like this:
Do you think that by the year 2000 there will be a single standard for
all bike components?
A) Yes.
B) No.
C) Yes, except for the French.
