    cantilevers, mini-v, anything else?

    If you are running bar-end shifters then full size V's and Tektro V levers is a good way to go. There is a hidden nightmare in all this with Shimano's change in road lever cable pull in recent years to NSSLR, this may be why you don't get much from the Dia-Compes. Have you tried the Tektro...

    Wanting to avoid pitfalls of modern tyres on 90's Trek

    Schwalbe Billy Bonkers and Conti Race King work well for me in very similar conditions.

    First time forum user looking for some directions.

    Also the extra weight is advantageous for larger frames (like yours) as it's a stiffer frame as a result.

    Who rode a gas-pipe bike in the 70s?

    My father in law worked exactly like that in a bike factory somewhere in West London in the mid 1950s. My first almost decent bike was a Halfords Olympic, bought secondhand on the Caledonian Road in 1984. It was gas pipe of course.

    What Happened to Campagnolo?

    Marin Help Needed

    Eldridge was red, but as the paint was fluoro it faded badly and then looks orange like the Pine Mountain. The frame and fork tubing was identical anyway between the two.
