postal loot
Whoo hoo!
Mr. Granton must have known that I was working on my 3-speed this weekend: purchased brake & gear cables, housing, actuator chain/rod thingy and brake shoes. I rode it to Recyclistas & back sans brakes and in the default high gear, then commenced installation.
I realized the fork was bent back a bit (no sign of flex in the top tube or down tube) so I popped off the front wheel, sat down & braced my feet against the bottom bracket, and yarded the fork blades forward (a trick I learned from an old bike shop hand this past summer.) Try that with yer carbon fibre!
Package includes (4) 1" pin-back buttons, (2) 3"x1.5" vinyl stickers, flyer, membership card. The back of the card is +/- a condensation of the info on the white insert.
Three Rules of the Society of Three Speeds:
1. I will endeavor [US spelling] to promote three speeds as a viable means of transportation.
2. I will not denigrate three speed bicycles and will not allow others to disparage these humble bicycles.
3. I will ride my three speed bicycle with pride and immense enjoyment. If I have not yet procured a three speed bicycle, I will do my best to obtain one post-haste.
