eBay prices on the rise, good time to sell old junk?

[QuangVuong]

Is your hub an UG though? I cant seem to find a model with UG. Anyway, $50 is a pretty good price for the wheelset right?

And a $80 Royal Star. Dont know what happened to the RD, but I really do wonder, does it work? Its got fluted cranks, but I cant make out the groupset.

chain fitted wrong so it wont be working as well as he thinks

[LugNut]

HA! I bet it works a treat until you pedal

[koen]

If I'm looking at the same wheels it looks like a screw on cluster not a freehub and tubular tyres. Very standard until mid eighties.

Anyone have any idea what these hubs are? They are SHimano high flange hubs, but its got a UG freehub, which puts me off. It came off a Cecil Walker from prob the 1980s.

Those hubs look identical to a set I have here from a 1980ish 10 speed racer with the early Shimano 600 Arabesque groupset.

I make no claims to expertise but pic 7 from the linked gumtree ad looks like a uniglide hub to me. Yes a screw on cluster would be very standard , hence Quang's uncertainty

[koen]

Oops.. I didn't see all the pics. Yes Uniglide. Great cogs that you could flip over when the 15t or 16t wore out and you wanted a new chain. Usually easy to reaxle and add a 10speed freehub but not ceratin on the really old ones. Also Jeff at Loose screws is retiring so giving good discounts on old uniglide cassettes http://www.loosescrews.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Newbie needs advice , first bike.


First of all i know how to ride a bike but have never ever really got into riding, I want a bike for uni and am looking at some of these with the links below, which ones are worth my time and money and which ones are junk? Which ones would you buy? budget is pretty low because i can't afford the high end stuff so <500, any help is much appreciated!

[barefoot]

Broken links, calmlikewind. Try again

[ironhanglider]

I cut and pasted the numbers into the tree.

Just as a BTW CLW a 56cm label doesn't mean much, because everybody measures bikes differently.

Need to know a bit more about your Uni and whether you need to negotiate hills etc.

Felt Brougham single speed. Good if the one gear is the right gear for you. Both options sound like big gears to me so you might need to experiment with cogs/rings a bit.
Classic old Cilo race bike Great old bike! Definitely not for you with tubular tyres.
Giant Cross City This would be my pick.
Indi 500 Road Bike 70's road bike with suicide levers, probably steel rims. It's cheap, it has a rack.

Of those choices the Giant is the most suitable for you, current equipment, good brakes.

Since this is the Retro Forum someone ought to get onto that Cilo.

Cheers,

Cameron

What's with all the UG hubs popping up recently?

Cheers,

Cameron

[koen]

I guess they are always popping up? I have about half a dozen old freehubs from changing them over on things I've bought. Just BTW one day I got the angle grinder out and flattened one slot so I could put hyperglide sprockets on to an old freehub.Worked fine. I think I still might be using that on one of my bikes.

Didn't think it would, nice-looking unit.

A mate and I were discussing it earlier, and we reckoned the bidding would get silly near the end, but not that quickly.

I'd like it, but both the full shed and the empty wallet said 'No!'.

mmm... why do I get the feeling that the chain is gonna fall off sooner or later?

[feelthewheel]
