BSA Weekender

Can't you get blocks that work better with chrome rims?

Yes you can, I’ve got them on my Kingpin, KoolStops I think they are, they work just fine.

Even in the wet? Or possibly consider a change to alloy rims. Should be cheap enough second hand for a set.

Ah, yes, I never ride that bike in the wet.

I have a bike with the same and I don't risk it either

Any more news on the weekender?

It will feel like a totally different bike with a pair of alloys on it.

It does look very much like a TdF except for centre pull brakes and a double clanger.

Hi all, the Weekender has a new owner now but will still be around in Cambridge. I had to free up some space at home, now down to three racing bikes and a flat-bar Bottecchia 804
