If you are starting to have "withdrawal" symptoms, you need to take on another project.....a prewar project will usually keep you going for a long time.
Best regards,

R27 Inaugural Ride
I may have asked this question before so, if I did, please bear with me. Does anyone have any recommendations for R27 tires? Stock size is 3.25-18 which should equate to 100/90-18 or thereabouts. The bike has 3.25-18 Cheng-Shins now and I don't much care for them. They are about .5 inch narrower than the 3.25 or 100/90 tires that I have on other bikes; they don't handle well; and they just don't look right. Conti, Michelin, and Avon all make 100/90's that might do. Also, the Bridgestone Accolade looks right and comes in 100/90 but - - as with some of the other brands - - I would have to run a "front" tire on both ends. Is this acceptable? About the only way around this would be to run a slightly wider tire on the rear. Anyway, lots of choices with 19 inch tires but not so many with the 18's that I need. Thanks for any ideas....

One more job remains and that is to inspect the wheel bearings and replace the pitted chrome wheels with the original Weinmann alloys and stainless steel spokes which I do have.
I'm almost disappointed to have the end in sight....
