I have just the saddle for that bike...either a carbon flite or a slightly damaged Berk that you can repair...

Sweet! :) Rain stopped- going for shakedown spin.

Bryon, tell me about those phone numbers? Only 5 digits with a hyphen after the first number? Is that how they use to do this?

Byron, Where did you get those dubraes?

That’s a phone book for 1951 Jacksonville Florida .
I forget how it works , but that’s where the Brumos name came from.http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1739743225.jpg

Schwinn is looking good! I wish we had a velodrome on near us. ^

Snow day today. All about process. Wanted to try some yellow/amber shellac. The tape started off yellow, became honey brown. Still too yellow for my taste. I went darker and added cordivan leather dye. Now it's a dark red/brown. Almost a burgundy. Looks better in person. That's a day long process to make something that's gonna get it's arse covered in dirt in the first ride. :)

Also mounted road/gravel width cranks into wide mtb width bottom bracket. Not easy task. Much redneckifying later, it actually works!

We sold Nomura bikes (frames) at the shop I worked at in the early 80's. We were blown away by how light they were. Probably the nicest BMX frame I saw back in my bike shop mechanic days.

Anyone know why the forks are inverted in those high speed bikes and the use of smaller wheels up front?

I would think that those forks would be less stable like that.http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1742466403.jpg

Looking at the geometry of the front of that bike, I'd think the inverted fork would act more like a caster wheel does. At high speed it'd just wiggle waggle back and forth without really having any effect on the steering of the bike. I could be wrong, but that's how I see it working. Smaller wheel is required because the axle has moved backwards closer to the frame. A big one probably wouldn't fit.

Shorter wheelbase on higher speed should make it less stable? Maybe the bike has stretched geometry to compensate for that?

I always thought the small backwards fork thing was to allow these high geared bikes to pull in closer to the vehicle they were drafting behind.
