Sounds good, let me know what you turn up.

Looking for a Schwinn Step through bike/frame in Chicago. Something like a traveler or Le Tour but open to other options. 21" or 22" frame would be best. Any color but red...

Nice 5 speed tandem with 1-3/8 (590/650A) wheels/tires and modern dual pivot side pull brake. In good running shape but has cosmetic flaws and not all parts are original to the bike. $125 and you pick it up in Chicago IL, Edgewater neighborhood.

Looking for a Sugino square taper crankset in 150-152mm crank arm length. Mostly off old BMX or kids bikes so there should be more than a few out there. Shot me an PM if ye got something.

Looking for a cottered crank set with removable chainrings. 116, 50.4 or 88.9 BCD would be the easiest to deal with. English 9/16-20 pedal thread also a plus. 165mm / 6.5" center to center crank arm length is the one thing i'm a stickler for. Chrome can be anywhere from Great to decent...

Found a second set of NOS Jamis locnuts and reduced the price to $25 + shipping via flat rate USPS... $7.20 for each set.

Oh for sure you'd want the angle grinder as Jamis used and outer cup that will spin around the nut if you put vise grips on it. I'm sure if you had a big enough wrench you could make it work.

Neither had I! Searching for info on them was also a bust so these things might be gold? :)

Pretty cool 80s Jamis Wheeloc still in the package. The bubble plastic has started to pull away from the paper as they were folded for many many years and stored in a shop. 3/8-26 threading for old school BMX and cruiser wheels. Dug up a second set so price for each is $25 + 7.15 USPS flat rate...

Re: Chicago TailDraggers 2013** Next Ride NOV. 9th Oak Park Anyone riding out from Chicago?

Dropped the lightened guts into a hub shell/ wheel and they seem to work fine and dandy. Anyone ever seen internals like this?

Went about stripping a couple of SA 3 speed to fix another and found this odd little lightened 3 speed internals (right side of first picture). Perhaps this was a common thing "back in the day" but I've never see a SA internals quite like it. Anyone have any info?

I spent 5 years working for an aerospace machine shop in Brattleboro VT, purchasing agent I was. We used ATS for a long time, sadly now MSC owns them... I do miss the north east but not the 6 months of winter! Have a grand green weekend mrgreen. Christopher

Thanks guys been enjoying things thus far. Chicopee mass, home of American Tool Supply and Oerlikon Balzers if I remember correctly. How is the great north east?

I recently transplanted myself from the state of Vermont to the windy city of Chicago. Well, 'round about July 4th last year, which means less than 12 months ago...so I'd say that is recent. The 1,000 mile move was a bit of an adventure for me and my best bud Steve, and it was made even more...
