Duh. robert I only did about 35 Km yesterday, but, in my defence, the weather was off-putting. I was astride my 1972 Torpado Strada with its still mostly Nuovo Record gruppo. If I wanted to ride yesterday, I would have needed a canoe. It's looking worse today and now we're getting sleet.

Unless you mean your bike and then I'm all in with that idea. 12V electrical system without semiconductors, EPROMS or ICs. p.s. Model T had a crank (at first anyway through 1919), model A are electric start. I own neither. No electronics on my bikes either. No, I don't have electronics on my bike except my garmin and after the bomb, I figure I won't need that. But it's been a while since I've seen a car without an electronic ignition. |

Duh. robert Just came back from a ride on my 30 year old Shimano 18 speed equipped Raleigh Century. (all original including the tires -) Nice to see how many miles you put in. Not a lot - I didn't drive it for a number of years - now that I'm "retired" it will get more use. Had a cheep "bikemeter" on it for the first couple years - likely 1 or 2 thousand miles max on it. Just remembered one thin that's not original - I tossed th straight handle bar and replaced it with a "north road" bar - much easier on my wrists. |
