Path Racer

Links on this page. What's it like to ride? Back ground to the project. Now my back is sorted I have been back down the gym doing handstands. As a warm up I do a bit on the spin bikes and cross trainers. Found that I can't do the running track due to dodgy knees! Thought it might be a nice idea to actually do some real cycling and so started looking at push bikes for the first time in years! Initial drawings and ideas. Should be a suitable donor as the frame geometry is spot on! Great site explaining wha...

Bicycling in Style in Syracuse, NY. Saturday, April 2, 2011. 9th meeting of SBWC. Today we met at Mundy Branch Library and learned how to slap a stencil on a DIY disc wheel. And then went for a ride all the way to Elmwood Park. We had a new member: Brandon, from the South Side. Here we are at the top of Onondaga Park, with Syracuse in the background. Mikese, Cameron, Angel, Brandon, Mr. Alex, Edward. Picture by Ms. Tina. Posted by Monsieur Leclercq. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Like father like son.

Syracuse Bicycle Works: Wheelbuilding
http://syracusebicycleworks.blogspot.com/2012/06/wheelbuilding.html
Bicycling in Style in Syracuse, NY. Sunday, June 3, 2012. Wheelbuilding is a very useful skill when customizing bicycles. I have a Raleigh Sport from 1970, normally equipped with a 3 speed Sturmey Archer hub and a set of cantilever breaks, which I want to convert to a single speed bike equiped with a Bendix coaster brake:. I take apart the hub so that I have access to the lips on its edges, through which the spokes will go. Flip the wheel. Now the key spoke is at the left of the valve hole. At th...Flip ...

Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Syracuse Bicycle Works HOME. Building a Single Speed Path Racer. Path racers are the old track bicycles that used to be raced on velodromes in the early 1900s. They were fixed gear single speed bikes made. Winter is coming: its time for customizing! Like father like son. 9th meeting of SBWC.

Syracuse Bicycle Works: Pinces à vélo
http://syracusebicycleworks.blogspot.com/2014/11/pinces-velo.html
Bicycling in Style in Syracuse, NY. Thursday, November 27, 2014. In the winter, those pants clips come in handy. They prevent your pants from getting caught in the chain wheel. Everyone in France had those when I grew up. Posted by Monsieur Leclercq. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Syracuse Bicycle Works HOME. Building a Single Speed Path Racer. Path racers are the old track bicycles that used to be raced on velodromes in the early 1900s. They were fixed gear single speed bikes made. Today we met at ...

750 Miles: A Little More Than Co-incidence
http://750m.blogspot.com/2011/10/little-more-than-co-incidence.html
Monday, October 10, 2011. A Little More Than Co-incidence. Our Tour of Tasmania ride was covered on Annie Warburton's eveneing program just before flying, so I won't recount the tales of rain, punctures, more rain, excellent Latrobe bakery, heavier rain, more punctures, 1 minute of fame on the evening television news and a flying tail wind for the home run on the midlands. Standing dripping wet in his carport in a momentary patch of sunshine was a really nice moment as we chatted quietly and with smiles,...

750 Miles: January 2015
http://750m.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Monday, January 12, 2015. With PBP looming again on the International long-distance event calendar - and with the recent demise of the 750M web site - it seems an appropriate moment to add a little to this page just to tie up some very loose ends. Not the least of these is a slight re-hash to the actual ride story that was previously up on the web site. All did not go quite to plan in France. We completed 1009Km before surrendering to the impacts of very poor weather and the physical demands of both the ...

750 Miles: Kit and Caboodle
http://750m.blogspot.com/2011/10/kit-and-caboodle.html
Monday, October 10, 2011. In case you are wondering about our snazzy kit ;. Jerseys are by Champion Systems to our own design and very nice they are too. These really are quality items, and the guys at Champion really came up with the best price under a tight timeline - and were extremely friendly and helpful about it too - thank you so very much for delivering a few days before the promised date- that really took the stress out of the last few days at home. No, I didn't wear double knicks - just lathers...
