    Bought myself a bit of Amsterdam

    Nice Presto. Now you need a Jabo, Joco, and a Remy to round out the collection.

    Re-attaching base tape to tubular tyres?

    RIH

    I just found this site, and being somewhat vintage myself figured I should join and introduce myself. I've had a love affair with bikes, specifically Dutch bikes (thus my response in this thread) since the early 1980s. Before that I lusted after Viscounts, Falcons and Schwinn paramounts (and...

    Roller related question

    if it's the standard round cross section band you can order them from Kreitler in the US. Tacx would be another option and a bit closer. I have Minoura rollers and from what the shop told me they all take the same band.
