here is a> picture of a Sieber that Ted Ernst sold last year which is ident
ical to> mine with regards to the chain ring/crank and paint scheme. Also t

ll of the Siebers used the drilled double plate fork cro> wn on all of thei
r bikes allowing the bike to be used on the track or fo> r possible road us
e. On CR, in the Swiss builders section, Bob Graf has > a Sieber with b
rakes on both wheels. There is also another Sieber with a> drilled fork cro
wn, but not the bridge. Now that I know the difference> between a 1/2 vs
1" pitch chain ring, I have to find out what a block c> hain is. Thanks f
or your interest.> Jerry Jeter, Wildwood, MO USA > > > > ______________
