Excellent pictures, and we can only imagine what will be up after the Tour! If I can find the benighted digital camera around somewhere, perhaps some shots of ours will make their way to your (excellent!) new blog, too.
one question, I have a canadian "GLIDER" raleigh rebrand from england, early 70's very similar to a Superbe.. what type of sealed bottom bracket did you put on your raleigh sports? I am looking to do that, as I have done some modern refinements too, the crank is currently very sound, but I go through cranks, if they are not the sealed type. Dimensions would be helpful! Great collection of bikes!!

Raleigh brand bikes have unique proprietary thread standards, so I had to re-tap my threads before installing a modern sealed BB. Your bike, as it is not specifically a Raleigh, may require no such treatment. I used a Sugino 103 mm BB and a Sugino RD48 crank.
Following in the footsteps of fixedgeargallery and oldtenspeedgallery, this site is devoted to photos of old hub-gear three-speeds. The bicycles pictured on this site are three-speeds that my friends, family, and I own, three-speeds that come through our shop for repair, three-speeds seen by me in the wild, and photos of three-speeds submitted by readers. Hub-gear four-speeds and five-speeds are OK, too, as long as they're old.

Photo links (flickr, etc) are preferred to photo files. Please include any information pertaining to the make, model, age, and any other interesting features of the bicycle.

Brilliant stuff, Jim.
