Jeez. Don't be so negative, nothing's impossible for these guys:

If Anthony Clark refined his transitions, and pushed a slightly bigger gear he's headed for the podium.
Just my $0.02, but I've been watching him for some time and he's on the rise.

He'd look good in black and red, but then again - who doesn't?

Hi Richard,

My name is ;kg'k'g ctks'tkg, and my father-in-law graciously gave me his Richard Sachs bike after many years of me commenting about it being a garage queen. I have two questions for you, 1) what year did you build this frame? The gear train is mid 80's 6 speed C-Record, but I think the frame may be from an earlier vintage. My father-in-laws name is Charles O'Brien, and should be the original owner. The bottom bracket shell has 43 75 and 59 stamped into it, not sure which one is the serial number. Also, Charles, has a prosthetic leg, did you make any sizing adjustments unique to this frame to accommodate?

Question number two is a little more technical. The bike is currently equipped with bar end shifters, and the downtube has brazed on cable guides. Did he originally spec the bike with these shifters or would it have originally come with downtube shifters? If I wanted to switch it back to downtube shifters, how and where would be the correct placement of them?

I've attached some pictures to help with my questions. Any input is greatly appreciated.

Merry Christmas,

Hi and thanks -

Too much time has passed for me to recall much about the client, or even the sale to Bicycle Technology in Philadelphia, the store that commissioned the bicycle on behalf of Mr. O'Brian. I shot these images of my log book showing some forensic details. It was made in 1980, or so it appears, and is maybe the 437th ever RS branded bicycle frame.

* Note: Shrewd V Salon-istas will no doubt see the line entry for one Peter Pollack at the top of the page. Man, a 56cm frame - what were we thinking atmo?

richard-
no one, other than you is shrewd enough to be able to read any of that.

Looking good Richard.

e-RICHIE, is there a reason you choose to go with SRAM on your personal bike?
What advantages, if any, do you perceive over Campy/Shimano?

Sram is all I use - I race on Force, all the team bicycles we have are Force equipped, and most of my retail sales are with Red components.

I think it is cool that you are using the Force group and not their flagship group, Red.

With two little ones at home, I have budgetary concerns so I was only going to consider Ultegra/Chorus for my next build. I'll now have to give consideration to Sram Force.

Any advantages from Force vs. the groups I mentioned?
