Being Canadian, they wouldn't want their surplus tanks used to hurt
people or anything like that:


They should follow Bob Hope's lead. Few people know it, but Hope made a
killing buying and selling obsolete military equipment after WW2. He had
the connections due to his volunteer work, and he was able to get lots
of tanks, cannons, etc. for next to nothing.

He turned them around, selling them profitably to VFW halls, little
towns, etc. at prices that seemed great. They were bought for the war
memorials that still stand today.

Hope even used his TV shows and stage performances to do subliminal
advertising. He was a pioneer at that. At every show, he promoted his
business by singing "Tanks for the memories." It worked.

Two proud parents waited for the middle school marching band to pass by
during the town parade. Soon they saw all the children concentrating
hard, blaring on their clarinets and trumpets, and marching left, right,
left, right...

Except for their own little boy, who was marching right, left, right, left.

"Look, dear!" said the proud mother. "Everyone's out of step except our
little Donnie!"


One always wonders whether there will be a secondary effect of some of
these actions.

The U.S. is the largest exporter of arms in the world with $10 billion
of exports last year. How much of the $10 B is procured by Nato?

One might also not want to ignore the fact that NATO IS a neuclar
power with 200 odd neuclar bombs stored in various places in Europe.



One might argue that we make good hardware, software,
armament and kit. One might also argue that arms sales are
more political than economic so quality, price or
performance may not even be factors when compared to
arm-bending 'deals one cannot refuse' as it were.

This is undoubtedly correct but if 10 billion is entering the economic
system there is some justification for saying "what difference does it
make where it comes from.... it is 10 billion!

My experience has been that arms deals are generally either political
or corrupt, or both.

Some years ago we were quietly asked by the Indonesian A.F. if we
could supply some bits and pieces for Huey helicopters. As soon as we
placed the first order we were informed that the parts were
unavailable (to us).

Being Canadian, they wouldn't want their surplus tanks used
to hurt people or anything like that:

the list of potential buyers was rather short due to
Canada's policy not to sell weapons to "problematic countries."

At least in the two wheeler world I really don't care about
your personal morals once your charge card runs and your
bike leaves my premises.

The material is too thin.


Is it more thick at the bottom of the bottom
bracket shell and at the bottom-mid section of
the down tube where I have seen this numerous
times, and also the chainguard stays to the
chainguard intersection?


A bottom bracket is usually specified as 7 - 8 mm thick.

And doing a good thing :-) In the 1945 period war surplus had almost
literally no value at all. If one could turn it into money it was
probably a patriotic act :-)

8 mm thick.


And the mid-bottom part of the down tube?
The screws are interchangeable in size
and length.

Yesterday BTW I saw a second bike with the
exact same configuration. The bracket is bent
so it is round along the tube surface, but what
holds it in its place seems to be a single M5
screw with a flat PZ2 head.

Well that depends. Probably on the cost and class of the bike. The
down tube is pretty thin on most better class road bikes. Say Perhaps
..6 - .7 mm in wall thickness. Depending on whether it is butted, non
butted, etc,

Yesterday BTW I saw a second bike with the
exact same configuration. The bracket is bent
so it is round along the tube surface, but what
holds it in its place seems to be a single M5
screw with a flat PZ2 head.


Given that all the pedaling torque passes through the bottom bracket
I'd doubt if a new bike would use a single screw to hold the BB onto
the frame tubes.

John, I suspect Frank's post was a very long, subtle joke.

Maybe 3-4 mm. Are you quoting the difference between the OD and ID, or the
wall thickness?

These are not road bikes but ordinary standard
steel frames for commuting, shopping, and
everyday transport, say from the 80s.

bent so it is round along the tube surface,

a single M5 screw with a flat PZ2 head.

What is held are two stays that then hold
the chainguard.

I just looked at their catalog which red, for example:
"LB100R - For 22.2mm Chainstays. 60.30x62.30x7\ufffd.
No guides or cut-outs".
or
"LB109R - With Oval 30x17mm. Chainstays.
Angles 60x64x7.30\ufffd. No guides or cut-outs."

Given that the first two numbers were obviously length and breadth
assumed the last was thickness. Not so?
