In the words of one of my fave silver screen Action Heros "Yea baby.
. . yea, yea." Lightweight brazed steel and within the list time
frame, nothing in the rules about small wheels. One of the bikes I
hope to own one day would be one like John Woodburn's Moulton Speed
with a S-A FC hub like the on pictured on P.143 of Hadland's "The
Sturmey-Archer Story." After working for the decidedly not-classic
Bike Friday I have great respect for small wheeled bikes that come
apart as performance bikes. In the late-70's when Raleigh allowed
Sir Alex to produce bikes again he created the very cool "spaceframe"
AM series which I would also like to have. One of my goals when
Mitzi and I move to Belgium next year is to search out a a few of
these hard-to-find-in-the-US bikes. Just so people don't think I'm
just trying to up my post count I have a question. Were there any
other companies that marketed racing bikes with internal hubs that
anyone can think of? It seems to me that racers went right from
single speeds to deraileurs and bypassed multi-geared hubs completely.
