Don’t be too hard on him. He never took journalism 101.......or basic English either, it seems.....

Wow....spending an entire minute driving on the wrong side of the road? You’re lucky to still be alive!

I’m in NY, and I have a class A CDL with airbrake, tanker and multiples endorsements. Here, you need to show your ability to parallel park ANY vehicle you are licensed to drive. This means your wheel must be within 6" to the curb on all axles. This includes semis, and yes, I can park a tractor-trailer with all 5 axles…

Oh, they were brutal, especially C&D. It’s funny; when the Yugo came onto the market, all the old gags about the Edsel were recycled into Yugo jokes (except for the one about it looking like it was sucking a lemon).

Oh, give him a break. All Jalopnik markets is vague generalities, anyway. There is no ‘truth’ here, just uninformed opinion....

Rear-facing is better by far. When I was about 5-6 years old, I often sat in the rear-facing seat on my parent’s 1964 Pontiac Safari wagon. My mom chain-smoked, and sitting in the furthest-back seat was my way of getting away from the smoke. Sitting in the rear-facing seat gave my sister motion-sickness, so it was a…

And about the stock photo at top: who in their right mind flies wearing Daisy Dukes????????

Ah Francois Cevert; what a talent, and what a tragic waste of one of the greatest driving talents of all time. He was amazing, and too suddenly he was gone.

Are you out of your mind? Concrete ends up cracking in the winter. At least asphalt has some flexibility! You really don’t know anything!

Yes, studs are great on ice, but suck anywhere else. Living in Upstate NY, a set of studs will keep you from even entering Ontario or Michigan. Also, they are absolutely awful on dry pavement. When I had a set of studs, I got to the point where I waited for the 3rd or 4th snowfall before putting them on, and often…

So, just what is the “appropriate amount of rust for it’s age”? I remember back when the R5 was sold in the US, the ‘appropriate amount of rust’ for an 18 year old version was usually one which was lacking a floor, and had fenders flapping in the breeze.

The problem with small-frame Pugs is that, in order to keep 700c wheels on them, the steering geometry gets very weird, and is completely different from other larger frame pugs. Back in high school, I had a Px-10 with a 61cm frame (until somebody stole it...) which fit me almost perfectly. Years later, when I found my…

I remember back in the 1980's, working at a Porsche dealer. We had a guy visiting from Belgium with a Euro-spec 928 come in with ignition issues. opened the hood, and saw the engine had dual distributors, and he ended up needing 2 new distributor caps. You’d thing this would be a problem, seeing that all US spec 928's…

Wow, that’s some odd setup you have. Either you have your saddle way too low, or you bought a frame that’s way too big for you.

“Had” no equal. Sheldon passed away several years ago.

An early 70's ‘ten speed’ would certainly have 120mm spacing, not 130mm spacing. Four and 5 cog freewheels and ultra-6 used 120mm, regular 6 and 7-cogs used 126mm, 8 and up used 130mm, until discs started requiring 135mm spacing. This is all ROAD bikes, MTB and hybrids vary.

That thing ain’t never gonna “keep up with modern bikes”, so just give it a light period restoration and buy a modern bike. I have an early 70's Raleigh, a 1978 Trek 710, and a 1986 Cannondale R500. When I want to keep up with the modern bikes, I ride my ‘modern’ bike, not my collectibles.

Yes, and as the rust develops around the rear fenderwells, you will get even more ‘flow through ventilation”!

As a former bike mechanic, and a rider for nearly 50 years, I can say with some certainty that you are better off just buying a bike that is already setup they way you need it. You cheaped out on buying an old low-to-mid level bike , and now you are just throwing money at it. You can’t make a silk purse out of a sow’s…

Most of the “black bumper Amish” just paint their bumpers. What you are seeing is probably just trailer trash....
