I am using 27 1 1/4 wheels for riding to work. the rear wheel is a factory built alloy with rustless spokes. Over the last 2 weeks i have broken 3. the bike itself is old and wont take 700 cs. The only thing i can think of is to have it rebuilt with d/b spokes :cry: Any ideas would be appreciated. I dont use a heavy saddle bag and i"m not particularly fat!

a cheap SUNN frame from Butlers is only £100, maybe even less now.its very strong modern and real heavy to make your life harder!

might be time to say bye to the old and get a new

Gary,
You might wanna check on Ebay. I just found an old set of campag down-tube gear shifters (pre70's) for next to nothing.

Rob, looking forward to starting as a 3rd cat. next year?... ha,ha,ha,ha!
