| Well, that solid gold 70s Sports went for a final bid of $237.50, and still the reserve wasn't met! Five bidders having all sorts of fun, I suppose, and a seller with an inflated sense of value. Gotta love that ebay! Neal by: 209.6.26.141 |

| Amazing, is it not? It's a nice and complete original, yes, but not the greatest example I've seen. I really have to list some of my Raleigh surplus on eBay...hehehe. -Kurt by: 205.188.116.204 |

Serial number is 0979756492 It has a Shimano 333 speed coaster brake cartridge style hub. Here are links to pics as well. It converts the "Tilde" character to a left leaning apostrophe. Just change it back to the tilde to view. http://home.insightbb.com/'michael.burk/wsb/html/view.cgi-photo.html--SiteID-1681639.html http://home.insightbb.com/'michael.burk/wsb/html/view.cgi-photo.html--SiteID-1681641.html by: 12.208.140.131 |

| When posting I always provide my email address in the Post box provided. My recent post elicited some responses that requested a picture. But when I clicked name to send pic no email address! I started clicking a bunch of names and found about half didn't provide addresses. What's up with that? Now I wonder if I've been naive in providing my email address. by: 207.200.116.139 |
| If you have a reason to be anonymous in an internet communication, feel free to do so. If you want replies to gather info, then post your address. I do both depending on the situation. The fewer times you post your address, the fewer times spammers will target you. There are other ways to deal with that however. by: 70.51.145.22 |
| I'm not sure how email address "harvesters" work, but if I were to compose one, it would search on the "@" symbol. Hence, when I post my email address here I spell it out thusly: bonemanrides_at_yahoo.com All one need to do to contact me is to convert the _at_ to "@". Seems to work I guess. Problem is, once one of these spammers or "Marketing" types gets ahold of one's address, they sell it... then those sell it... on and on. I've had to shut down mail accounts in the past because of spam. Really... 100 spams a DAY... a bit much. Cheers! Larry "Boneman" Bone by: 69.39.168.147 |
| I remain e-mail anonymous because I value my privacy. My telephone and address are not widely available either. I have suffered 'limey bashing' from former contributors to this message board. That's reason enough not to post an e-mail address. Matthew - somewhere out there. by: 62.253.64.14 |
| I recently came into possession of a 1955 Dunelt ladies bike that appears to be all original. The handlebar grips are black and stamped "made in england." I would like to remove them so that I can clean them, the bars,and the brakehandle assemblies, but they are really stuck on. It almost appears as if they were glued, as there is some substance on the bars that starts right where the grips begin. Does anyone know if they were typically glued on by the factory, and would any of you recommend a way I could get them off without messing them up? Separately, I'm looking for pedals for this and another Dunelt I have. Any pedals out there? I'm having a hard time finding ones that are right - errr, correct. Thanks very much, Will by: 67.166.45.82 |
| SOAK THE HANDLEBAR ENDS IN HOT WATER MOVE THEM BACK AND FORTH WITH A TWISTING MOTION UNTIL THEY COME LOOSE. SOAK THEM GOOD BE PATIENT by: 68.41.206.53 |
| A method I have used with success is insert a thin blade (like hacksaw or narrower) between bar and grip nearly to bottom of grip then spray-in WD40. Work blade around circumference spraying periodically. by: 207.200.116.136 |
| If it is only a case of cleaning then soak them (one end at a time) in a bucket whilst still attached to the bicycle, use a toothbrush to get them really clean. You may damage them otherwise. The old trick for sticking on is hairspray and quick hands! Matthew - where there's a will there's a way. by: 62.253.64.14 |
| I have had good luck on bikes back to the 60s.I push a small T handle allen wrench with the ball end up under as far as seems safe then a squirt of soapywater, windex or wd40 and bingo.I think the water or windex is safer. by: 24.58.64.136 |
| I think I have a pair of ladies pedals with Dunelt molded into the rubber blocks. I will dig into my parts boxes tomorrow. To remove grips I use rubbing alcohol and inject it under the grip with a syringe. by: 64.12.116.198 |
