sean's primary chain exploded on the freeway going 65mph down the 101.... long skid onto the shoulder.... sketch. ripped chain tensioner hole outta the case. anyone know how to get one of them belt drives for a 650.... for cheaper.??
there's a company called Hayward that makes belt drive kits for old brit bikes. here's a url for British Cycle Supply Company (http://www.britishcycle.com/Products/hayward_belt_drive_kits.htm). also you might want to contact either Richard or Bob at Rabers (408 998 4495 http://www.rabers.com) and ask them if they have it and for how much. sorry to here about the bike. did the gas tank survive?
Map cycles sells an economy kiy for $400. That's the cheapest Ive heard of.
ReplyDeleteYou can get them on eBay for $250
