I discovered this site a few years back and was inspired to dig out my old Optimus 8R stove. I used to carry it touring back in the on topic days of yore. I hadn't fired it up since the early 80's, but found a rebuild kit and it works like a champ! That site really opened my eyes as to how cool old stoves are. They make a great accessory to go with that classic touring bike.
