Looking good. Is there a bend in the down tube? I always thought the down tube on my 1987 SR600 had a slight bend, presumably from the welding/heat treating. Can't remember if I ever verified it with a straight edge.

From the early days, 1974 catalog cover.

Phil Wood makes a number of different spindle lengths. The cups require a special tool and it's best to have two of them. A good local bike shop may have them. Once installed you shouldn't have to touch it for a very long time.

I think these bearings are what you need but I would check with the seller...

UL is the position for Ultimate (narrow spaced) freewheels. The RE is for regular (wide spaced) freewheels. The shifter should click in either of those for indexed shifting. The center position is for friction shifting.

Thanks for that. I'd never heard of the others and didn't think to look.

I need to check head tubes on a couple of frames that are lying around. Are any of those 1"?

I'd love to have it but: don't need another bike; shipping cost; etc.

Interesting bit of history but the reference to the IL River is confusing as it's over 300 miles away from the battlefield. I should try to get a picture of a Cannondale with the local Civil War cannon. Long supposed to have been captured at the battle of Belmont Missouri, for years the barrel...

Welcome. Nice looking bike. I've never owned a Synapse but was looking at one on ebay that's within a couple of hours drive. Unfortunately the sizing is questionable and the seller isn't cooperating with requested information.

I would talk to someone who's familiar with the type of paint you used.

Great deal there. Doesn't appear to need much.

Looks to be Team Yellow/Team Blue.

It doesn't look like you have the rear shifter assembled properly. The plastic ring should be right up against the lever.

Aircraft Spruce will have something that will be a lot stronger than you will find at your local hardware store. https://www.aircraftspruce.com/menus/ha/rivets.html

The indexed Sprint shifter should have a plastic ring around the body of the shifter that can be turned to three different positions. Yours may have gotten turned to the friction position. https://velobase.com/ViewComponent.aspx?ID=18AF75BD-ED8C-440B-91AB-12BDA9F8C2C7&Enum=104&AbsPos=42

Not cheap. Measure your tube diameter...

Best would be to find a trashed frame that has the bosses with a through bolt. There was at least one aftermarket replacement, I'm unsure if it is still available.

I've been looking for one for a long time. Odd that they don't turn up very often. I think they'd make a great gravel bike.

That's an odd one.. From a shop that sold both brands?
