Greetings, and Happy Holidays to all my fellow bike junkies!!
Saw the postings about the Favorit bike on e-bay...all of the bikes & parts that I have seen from that company have been, well, kinda marginal, to put it charitably! The one exception that I have seen is the Favorit coaster brake hub on my townie bike...it is beautifully made (roller bearings in the clutch/driver assembly!), smooth, and a powerful stopper. It dates back to the 50's; appears to be a variation on the Perry coaster hubs.
I'm looking for a couple of items- Chainring bolts for a T.A. 'Professional' 3-bolt crankset; these are a tad bigger in diameter than most allen-type ring bolts, and use a 4mm allen. It is a double-ring crank. I also need a BB axle to fit a T.A. 'Cyclotouriste' triple crankset. Prefer new on both items, but used in good cond. is also OK. Lastly, I could use some French-thread Phil Wood BB rings, new or used. Will buy, or trade goodies...
