CR folks,

Another day of surfing and more fun finds on fleabay:

Item #180291516920, advertised as a "Schwinn Bolt-on Cantilever Brake

and Cable."

Reminds me of the 1920s - 1930s German and English cantilever brakes I looked at yesterday along the vintage way...

Item #200256591196, "Vintage TA Criterium Chain Guide Plate" (6-pin)

Does anyone know anything about a Carlton "Corsair" frame? See item #350101722504, but something's odd: the dimensions all seem old- school, except for the 130 mm rear dropout spacing. What gives?

\ufffc Regards,

Jon Spangler who is still searching for the elusive frame, but needs to get a life

and get off of his computer in Alameda, CA USA :-)
