Bargain!

Thanks that would be great!

For my Viscount project, to suit 27" tyres. Reasonable/good condition preferred!

Yeah it was a challenge. 😁 after that it's like nothing can stop me, even though this project throws another niggly problem my way every time I look at it... Managed a bit more today. I got the old inner races off the BB spindle, and cleaned it up a bit. One of the Viscount forumers...
