Old School Parts and advice

[WayneO]

Well I picked an old Hansom up today to use it on the indoor trainer and maybe fit a power tap to it later. But while stripping it I noticed that it is missing the old seat post bolts for the steel frame. I phoned around but no one seems to know where I can get them.

 

My next question is do I kit it out as a single speed and make it pretty, or keep it stock for nostalgia purposes.

Single speed, indoor trainer and power tap? really? You need to ask?

Try CWC, I got one from them last year.

I used the "nut" from a rear road brake caliper and an allen screw from a bottle holder to make an old school seat post bolt, worked well as i had quite a short bolt

 

Hope that helps
