Hi George,
I still use quite a bit of old Suntour stuff. While the name has been
resurrected of late, the stuff that you are asking about is sometimes
referred to today by using the parent company's name ie: Maeda Corp.
All pretty nice gear, but they did not survive the equipment change to

Hi Everyone,
I purchased my Romulus new in May of 2003. For those who don't recall
(or never needed to know) the bike came new with wire bead Ruffy Tuffy
tires on it. I had been using a set of Kevlar bead Rolly Poly's on
another bike and liked them, so the Ruffy's seemed like a perfect
choice and

Hi All,
Yup...nothing three speed about that bike. A
closer look reveals stem mounted shifters, and a pair of them at that.
Also note, no bar mounted trigger shifter like Sturmey equipped three
speeds would have. And yetagreed, and interesting article. Jon.

twenty bucks a pair, they are not
beautiful, but they simply work. If you can accept the appearance on
your QuickBeam, give 'em a try. Jon Cameron.

I own a Bleriot that I purchased in 2006. It is set up with a full
Campy Centaur Group including a compact crank with custom 46/34
chainrings, It works great with the stock size Campy bottom bracket
( I think 111mm, but any good Campy dealer will know what size it
needs ) I could understand perhap
companies have been well discussed in this group over the years,
so I'll not fan those flames. The data point I'm offering you supports
your premise that Surly's are best sized by top tube length. ( and
Rivendell's remain best sized by PBH ) Hope this helps, Jon Cameron.

Hello to all,

To add to that sentimentit is my

Hi Mike,
The rack struts on a Mark's rack are made from solid aluminium. The
cutting tool shown in your link is intended for tubular stock, and
mostly copper at that. A hack saw will work much more effectively to
cut the length. From there, if you're anywhere near as anal as I am,
you can file th
frames have strengths and weaknesses to them, but I feel
that Jim is spot on when he talks about how his Quick Beam rides. ( or
really any Rivendell bicycle [ I have a Bleriot and a Romulus too])
As to the original question, I'd strongly say " go ahead a buy
yourself a Quickbeam, you'll
Hi Michael,
Are you looking for a "bar tube" or a "hobo" ? Green tweed or blue ??
Not to seem picky, but all of the above have been made over the years,
and may effect the responses that you get. Jon Cameron.
