I like the 1910's Mead Parts, with Hedgethorn Puncture Proof
self-sealing tires, but maybe I should try the Cactus Rough Rider
Single Tube or the Celebrated Flint-Road Tires?http://www.nostalgic.net/index.asp?S=arc/ScannedLit/1910%27s+MeadPart...http://www.nostalgic.net/index.asp?S=arc/ScannedLit/1910%27s+MeadPart...

Re-tread your tires, 1917 Hawthorne Cat p. 27:http://www.nostalgic.net/pictures/1222.htm

Rear sprockets with 7 to 12 teeth:http://www.nostalgic.net/pictures/1067.htm
(Relax--they're for long-pitch chain.)

Whole Bicycle World 1894 magazine scanned:http://www.nostalgic.net/arc/ScannedLit/TheBicyclingWorld-3-16-94/

Even back then, magazines were mostly ads. Here's the 1894 multi-tool:http://www.nostalgic.net/index.asp?S=arc/ScannedLit/TheBicyclingWorld...

See, I was hoping for links to a 1982 Bike Warehouse catalog, or maybe
Bikeology. How much is a Skid LidTM going for these days?
