A chair makes quite a good repair stand for a half-a-bike. |

Hi
This weekend I spent some time picking up a custom back bike wheel from Abbotsford Cycles and fitting it into my
Victoria / Hercules folding bike. The wheel includes a
Sturmey - Archer S2C hub which is a modern eqivalent of the broken Duomatic hub originally on the bike. As well, I've fitted a folding handlebar on the bike. This came from the
cat-lady via Stu. I have yet to ride the bike much but it seems likely to be a reliable and fun machine. As well as benefitting this bike, the new hub forms part of whatever type of
Velocino I end up making.
