At last! I have some details! I posted an enquiry to the nice people at the National Cycle Collection;- http://www.cyclemuseum.org.uk/ Within a few days of my enquiry, Scotford Lawrence of NCC wrote back with a scanned image from Cycling Magazine of 15th August 1962. It's a road test by...

After a lot of searching; viewtopic.php?f=12&t=197483, I've finally found some information on my Toledo road bike. The nice people at the National Cycle Museum found a road test in an issue of one in 'Cycling', dated August 15th 1962. They sent me a scan of the page, which I've uploaded to...

More out of curiosity than anything, I picked up these pedals for virtually nothing on Ebay, because the seller didn't know what make they were. They were a bit stiff when they arrived, but a strip down and fresh grease brought them back to life. They're on my bike now and work very well, with...

I've had a good dig around in my pile of shifter bits and although the boss dimensions are fairly universal, the actual layout and thickness of the friction parts varies quite a lot. The particular part I need is a thin, hard, plastic washer, which probably started life about 1mm thick. -I'm...

I have a braze-on boss to hand, the dimensions are;- Diameter: 8.9mm Length: 10mm Across flats: 5.8mm Depth of flats: 4.9mm I'll measure the washers later.

No, but I'll get the actual dimensions. The internal measurements seem to be common to all friction shifters. As far as I'm aware, the braze-on and clamp-on bosses all have the same diameter and distance across the flats - correct me if I'm wrong.

I have a variety of downtube and bar end shifters which are useless because their friction washers are either worn out, damaged or missing. Is there anyone out there who has a stock of these? Failing that, does anyone have a work around that uses commonly available plastic washers?

I don't like it, but I wouldn't call it 'offensive'.

How does £15 sound?

Remember to get some good close-up photos and measurements before you lose the original transfers.

There are a few specialists who can produce one-off water-slide transfers. They cater mainly for the miniature model enthusiats (trains, model aircraft etc.), but they have the facilities to print good quality transfers. I'm currently looking for a good supplier for my Toledo (see my post...

-When I said it's fully assembled, I meant the bike, not the leg!

Just a little update. Another Toledo frame & forks appeared on ebay a couple of months ago. The same item appeared on London Fixed Gear & Single Speed classifieds a few days ago. I've had no progress with tracing the origins of Toledo Cycles, where they were or who ran the business despite...
