    Triple S chains - any good?

    Anyone any experience with Triple S chains? I quite like to look of their Gold/Black chain for my Raleigh Record Sprint - but not if they are made of cheese (alternative is all Gold KMC for a couple of £s more). Steve

    Dynatech 500 (of sorts)

    I wanted a more modern bike to avoid putting too may miles on my Raleigh Record Sprint (not that I ride that much - up to 50miles at weekends). I decided to go for something steel, but as light as possible on a budget - spotted the Dynatech 500 frame on ebay, also had just picked up some shod...

    Raleigh Record Sprint + 7 speed freewheel - possible?

    Have dusted off the old girl - 2 25km rides last weekend and 50km today (all @ 22kph). Anyway can I fit a 7 speed Shimano Tourney HG37 in place of the 6 speed - I've seen a few posts suggesting it can be done. 13 (from 14) at the bottom would help crusing/downhill and the 28 at the top would...
