Re: Specialized Allez in American Flyer
I have a restored "American Flyer with the full factory Suntour Superbe Pro Components and with the Saturae Anodized HC 20 Rims. Probably the only difference with my bike and the others out there is that I on a regular basis do battle in fast packs (23+) with this bike and enjoy every min. of it, especially the double takes. Garth helped me restore it and can attest to the speed of this bike. If anybody wants to see pics, send me your e-mail and I will.

The following Ebay auction has a blue and orange Holdsworth Professional for sale:
http://ebay.com/
I always liked that color combination; they also had jerseys in that color that were pretty cool. I do, however, have a question about that particular auction, and the question is only for clarification or a point of reference: did those particular frames have a chromed fork as shown in the auction? I vaguely remember them having the six inches of chrome on the front fork and the remaining portion of the fork being orange, but then there's a lot of things I vaguely remember that did not exist. Mark Twain has a line where he states something to effect, that he has arrived at the age where his clearest memories are of events that never happened. I am getting there.
Thanks.

As stated I am offering a NOS Bob Jackson frames set for sale to the CR list prior to taking it to ebay. Obviously I would prefer to sell this to a list member and avoid listing it on ebay, just less of a hassle. As to the frame set, I am not sure what year it was built, i bought it off a e-bay seller in England approximately 2 years ago and it has never been built, never had wheels, brakes or any components mounted on it. I have provided a link to some pictures I posted on Wooljersey, be sure to look at them in the larger resolution, you won't find any sign use. The frame came with a Campy Chorus headset, I believe this is how it came from the Bob Jackson shop

I was wondering if anyone can help me find out what year My bike is. What I've figured out and I could be wrong is that it's a Paulo Guerciotti Columbus SL frame. I know it has Campagnolo components but I don't know what group set. All it says is, "Campagnolo Brev. Int". I've also been told it's a 58 cm. It's a beautiful bike. I was also wondering what the best way to advertise for it was. It's much too big for me and I think it would be a shame to run a classic frame to the ground. I would appreciate any help. I have attached a picture if it will help.

If I recall, Shogun's were imported by Seattle Bicycle Supply in the early 80's. They might be able to help if they are still in business.

Tom,
Yes, they came with a full chrome fork. That one is correct and perfect. That's the factory frame (Holdsworthy company). I asked for one of those in 1970 but by chance my friend got for me instead an unused 1969 team frame, at a discount, one of six I believe, made at the "shop" (Holdsworth company, a separate company). It has none of the chrome but has an Italia decal and a few other differences. I think by 1970 the team were told to ride the factory made Professionals since Holdsworthy was in fact their sponsor, not Holdsworth.

Folks, somewhere on my basement floor is one chainring bolt for a TA 3-pin (pro 3 attaches) crankarm. The diameter of this bolt is narrower than standard coupling bolts, so I can't swap in just anything, and the black hole that is my basement floor seems to be defeating me. So, if anyone has such a bit that they'd be willing to sell me, I'd appreciate it.

I sold these bikes back in the day, and Shogun was brought in a NewYork/NJ importer. Shogun was a private label bike built mostly by Miyata, Giant and Fuji HI factories. They where very good bikes in their day, better than most domestic offerings, and certainly heralded the demise of the likes of Ross, Schwinn, ect.
The bike you mention was pretty cool, coming with front and rear racks, 600EX DD cranks, Deore Der, Antler XT brakes IIRQ. Cool EX hubs and maybe a
factory BB mounted generator (not 100% there, we may have added it) JIS headset, SG forks and stays DB main tubes IIRC. I did a custom build for a customer who was an MIT guy who knew Gary Klein with that bike as a starting basis, we brazed and re-welded DA cassettes for
better gearing with less overlap. Rebuild with Mavic rims using the cool 600EX hubs that have the spoke offset, and other mods, pretty high tech back in the day.
Stuart Goldsmith was the New England salesman during that period for. I believe he now works for Ingersol/Rand (Kyrptonite locks) and may be able to
answer your inquiry in more detail. Shogun was around for 6-7 years, and faded away....being a mostly east-coast bike.
