Mine is a 1947 Dawes Courier, a light tourer/clubman style bike, drop bars and Sturmey Archer gears. It had 26 x 1 1/4" from new. Also offered with 27" One problem the OP will find that it is impossible to get Tan Wall tyres in that size. All blacks are available, from Schwalbe, for example.

Hi folks, I am the proud(ish) owner of a GT Avalanche 3.0 frame and bits. Purchased "by accident" off of that there ebay The frame is (I found out after buying it D'oh!) Disc-brake only, ie no lugs/bosses for canti or V-brakes... Saving grace, it is quite pretty (aren't almost all GT's?) And I...

I have a perfectly (not very) nice Raleigh Routier (see other posts) And need a MTB frameset for a petite person...

I have a nearly nice Raleigh Routier. (complete, fully serviced, new cables, chain etc, might (see other posts) need a different rear wheel. I need a reasonable MTB (frameset) for a petite person (she is approx 5' 2") Anyone?

I have asked before, but I am still not sure. I have this Raleigh "Routier" I know that it is not and never was a classic, or even a good bicycle. But.. It is now all nice and proper and ready to roll. Except..The back wheel kicks out, whenever I put any "power" down. I have tightened the QR's...
