rules seem pretty clear now. it might seem like i was taking the mickey somewhat, but when cotterpin531 jumped in and misread my comments, i felt we should have some clarification. i know a couple of guys interested in riding the NSB their alan's, and i can only imagine how upsetting it'd be to be told your bike is ineligible.
NSB website was revised last night, so i don't expect that there can be much confusion anymore.

Ah, it was a rhetorical question really - no dramas with frame(steel) or drivetrain(SuntourHonour) though I have replaced the brakes and wheels with newer stuff that actually works.munga wrote:is it steel or lugged alloy, pre-1990 with drivetrain 'of the era'? then yes.
...
My biggest issue would be getting me and it there from Melbourne. If I can organise that, I'm in.

That is going to be a super tough climb, even if the 2 steepest bits are sealed, it is seriously steep, good thing it's very early on in the ride . I doubt there will be any singlespeeders making it up that hill without walking.

Just substitute 'singles' for 'girls' . And Michelin introduced the clincher (or something sounding roughly similar) in 1891!

The identification tag has the serial number 3524159 Model PH10l 62 on it. I have traced it's history and it's a 1984 model in the pearl type colour.

I guess there wasn't enough storage room on Hollywood Boulevard.
