FSA Metropolis Patterson Transmission.  Two speeds using a regular shifter.

Ok, I'll bite. WTF is that? It ain't a Dana. Schulmpf, maybe.

I still have Sturmey hubs so hopefully no one will be chasing me off...

The test may be if the bike gets the rider banished from one of our Tweed rides - which is pretty damn unlikely?

It's not British but it is internal so that counts in this group, right?

But I'm now on hiatus, taking a sabbatical, hell: I may have retired from (this part of) the recycling business altogether - after well north of 5 years at it - so if anyone else wants to step up, my 'record' is there to be broken?

Hey, did anyone else see Alan Lloyd mentioned in the letters section of the new issue of Bicycling Magazine.  Letter writer says Alan has patched a 15,000 tubes. 

Sounds like one for the Guiness Book of Records, or at least deserving of a Guiness.

I'll be shocked if this doesn't make a few Tweeders drool:

some great pics from Lake Mills! I would be up for a ride like that- looks like a total blast.
