Afternoon folks,
Having consistently lost out on ebay auctions recently I am looking for a couple of pieces to complete the '49 Carpenter - I have not been able to get this together yet (for a number of reasons) and would like to be able to ride the bike before the snow flies - which could be as early as October here!!!
I realise that beggars can't be choosers but ... I don't need anything NOS but would like them to be in reasonably good nick, generally the right period and in working order if possible please.
1) An 18 tooth 1/8" single-speed freewheel (I have a 20 tooth freewheel courtesy of Doug Smith, but would like a slightly higher gearing option)
2) A bag-support for a Carradice saddlebag if anyone has a spare
3) Suitable pedals - British thread of course - I have a pair of period-correct Phillips quill type pedals but have a feeling that they are too narrow for my EE size 10 feet.
I am also looking for blue-cloth handlebar tape and suitable brake cables for use with GB Hiduminium brakes - white housing - if anyone has such things or can point me in the right direction I would be grateful.
Thanks,
Paul Williams,
Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
