I'm going but I don't have anything to bring. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

sorry for taking so long. my garage is a mess. the tires are 14 x 1 3/8. They say "the captain tyre". looking on ebay i see a number of ok priced tires from the UK. Im concerned with the opening of the rim as it is very narrow and the tire is almost flat/child hardtire like in appearance.

Thanks dude! When I got it on I was soooo damn happy Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

they said it couldnt be done ... well "they" really didnt say tht... but it worked perfectly. I was able to put the tire on JUST using my hands, no levers, i was then able to take it off using just my hands, no levers, but was tougher. Then i put a tube in with the tire and it was definitely...

where did they find this info? i thought the 599 and 597 was the mm circum?

Thanks 808 I was thinking of replacing the rims, and i have a comparable 3 speed 1957 sturmy set up which is a true 26x1 3/8 and would fit perfectly, but i really wanted to keep this as orig as possible. A very good question about measuring. I didnt, and took the previous tires as accurate...

Rustinkeer what does bb stand for? I never heard of anyone decoding the rollfast date code. How sure are you? Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

ah...thnx dude. will get a pic on my photobucket and up

rollfast has had thin frames throughout their lineage even during the balooner years best bet like euphman mentioned is to get photobucket and post some pics. it takes a few mins and is worth it my skinny rollfast ... i have two tankers as well

yeah i was thinking the same thing about the tires. def a juvenile bike looking at the drop outs i was thinking post war as they are not facing backwards...

a guy on another site i frequent posted this bike. Anyone ever see anything like it?

i never thought of that... it would make an awesome touring bike!

you look like you are flying!! :thumbsup:
