Vintage finds

Reading the previous two editions of Cycling Weekly it appears a trend is forming. First Sturmey Archer three-speed hubs (with or without Dynohub) appeared on the Icons page. I have both and currently ride a bike with a front Dynohub, although the bike is newish. Now this week’s magazine (CW Nov 22) has the straight-through block. Up until a few weeks ago I had a six-speed 18-13 freewheel block attached to a Hed disc on my carbon TT bike.

I’m wondering what old but still working kit I possess will be in forthcoming editions. The Pashley Roadster perhaps? Spoon brakes, Campag Ergo levers, cotter pin cranks? I could go on.

As per my aforementioned disc wheel, surely Steve Hed deserves a mention. Andrew Robertson, email

Andrew, cotter pin cranks featured in spring 2016 and the Hed tri-spoke back in 2015. We’ll look into your other suggestions! — Ed
