I would really like to see Spence Wolf's conversion. Any photos.
I don't want to stirr anyone's pot but I am interested. Schwinn P15 used a Crane GS which worked well. Was this done to keep a bike all Campagnolo? Or was this done by folks who didn't want to use the Gran Turismo before the introduction of Crane and VGT and Rally?
If Crane, VGT and Rally were available then it is curious that NR was chosen and then Spence Wolf modified to make it work for alpine gearing, something it was not designed for. Did you have to be careful in the big jumps and so on.
It appears people went to an effort to do this and there was a market for it. Would be interested in more info.
