    Just Ride.

    recently we had officially 117, nearer 120 by my instruments, and I took the old gal out for about 10 miles, not too fast. It was interesting, but in spite of low humidity it became obvious that the old fella was overheating internal body temperature. I felt dry, and was dry, but as soon as I...

    Flat track sprocket

    Suggest you check with Mike's XS for a current vendor. I spent some time looking around online. Mike's got steel 38T. But he might source something bigger, ask him. Talk sweet. Meantime I'll paw through the old receipts and see if I can find what I paid for the ones I got.

    Flat track sprocket

    I'll check on the Vic Kraus. The big sprocket is 40 tooth, aluminium, the other is 38 tooth. They're both new old stock and never used. Never seen a chain. Never dropped. The 40 has once been made up to a XS wheel. They've been hanging on a nail on the shop wall for 10 years, and I bought them...

    What book are you reading right now?

    Book, which I hesitate to bring up. A compilation of reports from western correspondents in Russia during the war, the war our fathers fought, not the one going on. Obviously this history is being "revised" in the western political arena - which is why I hesitate. But these are copies of the...
