vintage bike gathering at allaire

[Steve Vai]

From my house it's 75 miles to High Point and 155 Miles to the Cape May Lighthouse. I live in North Central Jersey. The entire state tip to tip is 195 Miles Long.

How is Central Jersey split? Is it North/South Central Jersey or North/Central/South Central Jersey? And if the latter is true, where is Central Central Jersey?

Should I use the K2 4000 or move the components over to the Proflex 857 for the Vintage ride?

So many questions!

Not sure, Smoke and Dart's are still backordered for my penny farthing...

Princeton is Central Central Jersey, because we all know the center of the everything revolves around those people. Trenton is South Central Jersey despite being in SouthWestern Central Jersey.

I doubt you'll be able to figure out which spindle length to use on either of those bikes within the year.

You should start a thread to see if anyone would be interested in a Vintage MTB Ride at Allaire.

Oldest I can go is a 2010 Marin, but I can throw some worn rotors on to commiserate with those rim brakes 😁

Make it a PEC S P no K on a plain bagel with a side of SCR and I'm there. I'll have to round up a bike.

Make it a Sunday and I'm in.

Nothing to figure out, 73mm BB, square tapered spindle. Same size on both frames. Also, the spindle joke kind of ran out of steam, you really need to find something else, it's been almost 3 years now...it's not like I restrain myself from providing inspiration for sarcasm anyway!
Thinking about converting to those sweet, date accurate Magura rim brakes I have somewhere in the dungeon, unfortunately that would require a set of shifters as the one I have on the bike right now are brake levers integrated, 8 Speed XT.

In for a Sunday too. I’ll dust off my ‘97 GT Lightning that’s hanging in my garage that hasn’t been ridden since about 2008

So, what spindle is on that bike?

 

[Paul H]

Can I bring a walmart bike instead?

This NJ geographical debate is older than the bikes being ridden at the event. Marc, safe and secure in central Jersey.

Vintage is pre-1990, right?

To me, this indicates that nobody wants to live in SNJ.

 

[SmooveP]

becoming a tougher, I might have to steal the bars off my daughters bikes, but those may be over 650.
What about these:
- Front derailleur?
- over 9 speeds?
- 25.4 stems only and longer than 100mm
- assume no droppers allowed
- can tires be foldable?
- tubeless setups?
- how many pawls are allowed
sure I'm missing something, but just don't want to get shut out when I get to the event

No headtubes slacker than 70 degrees.
In for OTB vids.
