OT: Classic bicycles?

... and I thought my mailing list was OT.
My local bike shop in Toronto carried parts for my classic CCM three speed.
Check with any non-franchise shop and they should have the stuff. If not, buy
and English bike mag and email or write to a few of them. Shipping for that
stuff is cheap.
It doesn't matter where the hub is, you can adjust for first/second/third with
the cable afterwards.
Vaseline is probably a better bet than WD40, a think coating will keep rust
away.
BTW, these bikes are great for exercise. The gear-in-the-hub uses up 20% more
energy so you have to bike 20% harder to get anywhere. Beats a ten/12/15 speed
for exercise any day.
