I had a quick look round their site. I thought a Haarlem would be up my street, then I checked out the prices and quickly changed my mind

Back on track, here's a higher res. shot of the Vic bike kit. The other tools included appear to be made by blackbum.

with the red u go up,with the yellow u go down but everything shows green.

i was wondering,that is there any decent quality multis to vintage cycles anymore made.i have some multi slot & c ring wrenches from past but ive only seem poorly made one in malls&shops recently.

(this is what ive got,its well made,not just stamped tincan crap)

Mike, Lord of the Spammers! · **Reply #98 on:** June 26, 2008, 10:33:35 PM

Yeah the old stuff is the thing to get

, the crap that comes with bikes these days is truly awful

yes sir,id rather pay few euros more to get ugly paper wrapped set like that,than get cheap but"overfilled" hitech taiwanese bugger.

heres one shop that sells those,the owner buys old shop stocks and as he´s trye bicyclist too,he sells those to good homes in reasonable price.lots of fine vintage hubs with grease nipples etc

The Dawes do look lovely;I think the nearest to the Dawes line here would be Jamis.

I still don't have a bike, but that hasn't stopped me from picking up more bike tools.

Most recently I got this Topeak Mini 9 which I thought was pretty cool.

u picked the right one,sir,topeaks are really good quality and that holster well done too.

Even if you don't own a bike, bike tools still have a boatload of uses elsewhere...though lately,I've been using my levers a lot,seems like the in the last batch of tubes I bought,there was more than a few duds.

Grant Lamontagne · **Reply #104 on:** July 05, 2008, 01:12:59 AM

I have always agreed that bike tools are handy little buggers, and compliment more traditional multis very well. Few standard multis have allen keys and wrenches, and few bike tools have bottle openers, pliers etc.

A SwissTool/Surge/Diesel etc is a great thing until you run into something assembled completely with allen screws!

Buy you a newer Leatherman MT like the surge/wave/charge. All have universal bit adapters in them, and you can buy a toolkit with them for $20 that has 42 different types of bits.
