All my photos on this site are gone...anyway from 2011 now after getting hooked on cyclocross, my interpretation of vintage cross. ratty, because it's built from parts laying around.....

Very cool. Looks like lots of fun to ride.

I'm on a B66 on my cruiser and a B17 on my roadster. The hide oil they make really helps to speed up the break-in period. It does take a bit of riding - I think more than 200 miles, depending on the weather too, I guess. But once they're past break-in, they're great. The kind of saddle you keep...

BMX 29!

not quite as vintage looking now with adj. stem but here we go....

One thing leads to another. Finally finished! A buddy's bike. Another rebuilt from a 70s Miyata Gentleman. Yeah!

I checked my brakeless S2. It's a 36 hole.

Thanks. Good to know. Got 2 new S2Cs and 1 S2 sitting at home now. No rims for them yet. Direct delivery from Sturmey Archer. :D

Renamed Urban Speedster No.2

Looks like a tin can to me. :mrgreen:

Does the Bendix have a coaster brake built in? I just ordered a non-coaster brake SA S2 because I want to freewheel over bumps without inadvertantly applying the brake.

You are my idol! Still waiting for mine.

Thanks for the info. :D I sometimes see freshly harvested (or collected) rubber sap and it's almost creamy like these tires, except shiney sort of like latex and used to think maybe it was just easier to make them offwhite that way. Carbon must be for vulcanization. So these modern cream tires...

Now that I've read the specs, I'm truly awed. I would love to see the wood pedals close-up.

Nice bike! Looks the business. Name sounds like when the Japanese say Subaru.
