My new ride: an 1980s Shimano BeeKay.
I picked it up today and it rides well, though the back brake should probably be looked at.
I have to get a bell, a panier, new grips and a new seat to make it complete, but for now, it's my new joy.
Uncompleted endeavors of the lost-stolen. Derailed by a divorce from the daughter of the devil.

No Shimano gears on this Penny Farthing on display in a bank in Harrogate
Where the world championship Cycling is underway.
Currently available Shimano CB-E110 coaster brake hub. Usually found at part warehouses or ebay for around $15-25. These are available with 20h, 28h, or 36h flanges. This shell is the same size as a Peregrine SFC-48S hub in case you want to swap parts or use 48 spokes. Uses a 3/8 in. 24tpi axle. I've been using these since 2003 and, they work way better than the old Suntour CB hubs. Be sure to get a nice heat-treated 4140 Chromoly axle. And, find a good welder and have them weld the sprocket to the driver.
my bike parked outside at this time of year....I still pinch myself that we are here in Mexico not in northern BC!!
These bikes are all over downtown and I can't help it. Actually for this shot I wasn't even taking a photograph of the bike, it was the fence I'm after but all of a sudden this delivery person parked in front of me. So what do I do, I included his bike in the shot :). Happy Fence Friday with a bike everyone! Enjoy your weekend!
When I was growing up this brand was known to be good for bike parts. I have no idea now if they still do good as a business but the fact that I still see it kind of tells me they are still in business.
On a different note, sometimes this photography art thing is quite hard to understand. Art is subjective, right? But sometimes I post photos I think is cute but not artistically good and it gets thousands of views and even makes it to explore. And then I post a photo that I think is good and then it doesn't get attention. For some reason, long exposures that is good overall get a lot of attention. It seems that coloured too are more favoured than black and white. I don't know if this is flickr's nature, meaning it's not a good measure to base on flickr stats if your photos are good or not. Anyway, I think I know the answer to this topic but I just want to hear what you think.
5 more days 'til Christmas! Yipee!

The Zimbale Leather Saddlebag is just the right size to hold a Lezyne Pressure Drive mini pump, an inner tube, and some tire patch supplies and still maintain the leather and steel retro look. (www.zimbale.com/Front/Product/?url=Product&product_no...)
Finally, a couple of somewhat unusual features of the bike include:
(1) the M179 STI handlebar is designed specifically for Shimano STI levers (store.somafab.com/nittom179bar.html), and it flows very nicely into the Ultegra controls. It also maintains a “classic” look for the bike.
(2) a 46/30T Sugino Compact Plus+ OX801D crankset (www.suginoltd.co.jp/english/ox801d_main_english.htm) was mounted on the Cinelli Supercorsa frame along with a Shimano FD-CX70 cyclocross front derailleur. (In case you are wondering, the Sugino Compact Plus+ OX801D crankset is a higher end crankset and costs more than an Ultegra 6700 crankset.) According to the Shimano web site (bike.shimano.com/publish/content/global_cycle/en/us/index...), the FD-CX70 is designed for use with top gear chain rings of 46-52 teeth and has a maximum capacity of 16 teeth. So, it works fine with the 46/30T crankset. The FD-CX70 is also compatible with current Shimano ST-6700/ST-5700/ST-4600/ST 10-speed road shifters as is the Sugino Compact Plus+ OX801D crankset. That means that the combination of the Sugino Compact Plus+ OX801D crankset and the Shimano FD-CX70 front derailleur works with Ultegra 6700 shifters and the Ultegra 6700 rear derailleur and an 11-28T cassette.
The combination of a 46/30T crankset and an 11-28T cassette gave a top gear of 109.9 gear inches and a low gear of 28.2 gear inches. For comparison purposes, a standard compact 50/34T Shimano crankset with a 12-30T cassette would have given a top gear of 109.5 and a low gear of 29.8 gear inches.
A 12-30T Shimano cassette could have been substituted in the Supercorsa build, which would have given a reasonable top gear of 100.7 gear inches and a low gear of 26.3 gear inches. That gearing is on my De Rosa Nuovo Classico and is great for general riding up and down hills.

Best ever crank arm bolts. No need for separate dust covers. From the late 1990s when square tapered bottom bracket axles were still the norm, these M8 bolts accept a 6mm Allen wrench (hex-key) and will fit any standard square tapered axle.
Apart from the lighter weight, the thin (1mm.) press fit aluminum surrounds look beautiful on most alloy cranks, much nicer than the familiar black plastic rings usually fitted onto similar style steel crank bolts. The base of the bolt measures just over 15mm. in diameter. For a flush fit on the face of some crank arms, the steel washer can be omitted. The aluminum bezel is 22mm. in diameter. But these will still fit nicely on the larger 23.35mm opening of older Stronglight crank arms with very little of the opening left noticeably exposed.
Weight of a pair is 14.35 grams or with the standard black steel flat washers supplied weight is 19.05 grams. A great find on eBay for only $10 USD per complete pair with shipping. Original MSRP was $60.
