A couple of questions, as I'm trying to fill in the memory gaps from my bike shop days:
1. Anyone seen any of the Roger Rivere bikes around? I remember them being carried in the shop as an alternative to the unobtainable Schwinns and Raleighs back in the early 70's. As far as I know, there was only one model, a usual European base line bike - steel cottered crank, Simplex derailleurs, low line Mavic brakes, and a paint job that can best be classified as good quality rattle can. About the usual you'd expect for a $100.00 European bike back then with a few exceptions (Raleigh, et. al.).
2. I'm toying with picking up a cotterless crank set on eBay taken from a late 70's Raleigh Super Course (mainly for the gearing change), assuming I can pick it up cheaply enough. I assume this is a same threaded bottom bracket as my Gran Prix frame?
Maybe I have forgotten more than I care to admit . . . . .
