  1. hello,

    i just got a new old bicycle, i 'd like to now how old it
    is. but i searched in vain. i hope you can help...

    rear wheel has a torpedo brake hub (single speed)
    engraved: 28
    F. & S. Schweinfurt (eagle logo here) torpedo system sachs
    < F.A. > made in germany

    wheels are 28"

    brake arm says torpedo schweinfurt sachs then sachs S logo

    bike is a 'royal nord' (this is a belgian brand that made
    motorcycles i believe) with handpainted accents on the
    frame. lion logo.

    rear tire probably original 'sawnheys' brand (made in india
    - completely black)

    Miller headlight, glass with miller logo in relief and a
    '10' number.

    thank you very much!

  2. Won't your wife be jealous if you start dating a bicycle?

    Dear Rayee,

    Gentlemen do not inquire about age, but this site might lead
    you to your beloved's birth certificate:

    royalnord.belinks.asp

    Unfortunately, it's slow to load, not in English, and
    possibly infested with mopeds.

    I beg you not to publish any weight--asking about the
    bicycle's age was bad enough.

    Severely,

    Carl Fogel

    Gosh, I thought the game involved dating the youngest bike
    you can find ...

    I don't need help dating an old bike, they are hitting on me
    all the time ...

    could be worse .. over in sci.astro.amateur they're dating
    presolar grains tho not jon isaacs (i checked).

    this question and the is it ok to hang your bike from a
    hook question seem to reliably generate the same jokes
    every time.

    errrr, that came out way wrong .. i meant that jon isn't
    dating presolar grains. i can't and didn't mean to comment
    on whether the rest of sci.astro.amateur is or is not
    dating him.

    could be .. it is possible. i'm not making a comment
    either way.

  9. The poor dude had a question and we gave him 9 "joke" responses. We
    ought to refer him to the "i've been misslead" thread for more
    satisfaction :-)

    Rayee: Please forgive us, we are not too smart in this
    newsgroup. Hopefully someone will answer you.
