This style?

I have a vintage lamp that fits but I have no idea if it works or not...

Bicycle lighting question, friends:

The original bracket is perched upon the head tube of my DL-1, but I can't find any light, vintage or modern, that I can mount on it. Any suggestions? THANKS!

Here's a tweedy, steampunk-y, penny farthing-ish kind of music video. It would be a good tweed ride theme song...

Just cam across an interesting web-site, ThreeSpeedHub, and there are some notes about adjusting rod-brakes, as well as other things ...

Chiming in kinda late here. Just back from stocking my larder for the winter, aka deer hunting.

Something I noticed with several rod braked bikes I've had the pleasure(?)to know is slop in the linkages. That slop adds travel to the linkages which translates to less pressure applied to the brake pads. I've ended up making/futzing/cobbling together, bushings at all the pivot points on the bike and greatly improved the braking. Still not your Kona. But less ass grabbing of the saddle is required to stop in a stately, if not timely, manner.

that's the 635 ISO 28, right?

Schwalbe makes a Marathon in that size and I think maybe a couple of other tires.
