Thanks David and Jan. I will order up some 6701 chains.

David,
Where are you coming from?
I saw the advice to check out Hoopdriver, Urbane, Curbside and BOW. All fine
bike shops, especially Hoopdriver (which is also farthest from the Harbourfront
area).
The reason I wonder where you are coming from is I'm wondering what you will

figured out the push bike this year. Last year she didn't want to try it - she
was comfortable on her scooter, and we didn't push her. This year she was gung

This is correct. You can use the current axle, as per Sheldon:
"Some folks will tell you that you also need to install a longer axle when
doing this, but that's not correct. Typical rear QR axles are 11 mm longer
than the over-locknut dimension of the hub, so there's 5.5 mm of axle
sticking out
Good luck!
My wife and I have a 2 year old and a 2 month old. Definitely busy, and
hard, but worthwhile. Less time for riding, tinkering with bikes, less
spending on bike bits etc... Especially in the newborn infant stage.
Almost all of my riding right now is commuting, and it isn't a very lon
I have managed to snag a couple of decent condition Raids on eBay for a
pretty good price - the last one was 17 Euros plus shipping. The trick I
find is to set your location to France, and more seem to pop up. They
aren't NOS, but you have a couple of options in terms of improving the
hardware.
Were you using the included bottom bracket? Newer bottom brackets tend to be
shorter because cranks are shaped differently. The bb that shipped on my wife's

We are mostly carless, with a 2 year old and another on the way. I take my 2

Thanks, and with
I just built a new set of wheels, which is the first time in a while for me. I
built a couple a number of years ago, but from old parts as an experiment, and
never really used the wheels, which is all to say I am pretty new at this.
My question is about tension evenness. I got the wheels up to

If you are mounting the seat on the rear, the lower top tube is key so that you
can mout the bicycle comfortably. My city bike is a sloping, but not low, top
tube and it is a pain to mount with the seat in the rear, with that weight up
high and not being able to swing my leg over the

Very cool.
How did you make the design file? Did the 3d printer place scan your prototype?

I am doing the same conversion! The 1983 Trek 620 is the last sport touring
model year with side pull calipers, as far as I can tell. It is a nice frame,
with decent clearance, though it looks like only 38mm tires with fenders will
fit. I am still thinking about the wheels. I have some Mafac Rai

Forwards on the top or bottom? If your mental model assumes that you are

I bought the Betty Foy for my wife. I had had a bit too much to drink and
thought it would be a nice surprise. Lucky for me when I admitted my
