Re: Rudge 'Bi-Frame' -a 'Proper' Folding Bike....?
Thanks fo that:I can see what you mean when I look at it again: I guess that is to get the strength with only being supported on one side rather than two as is more usual.
Am I right in 69x127 &English thread?
More well travelled than you can imagine: I brought it direct from the Raleigh factory in Nottingham, it went down the Falklands with e for a few months, flew home, then I moved to Wales where it was for many years and moved again to Cape Town, it went with me there and when the ship I am on now called in I put it on-board and is now in EG.
And definitely time for new tyres

Re: Rudge 'Bi-Frame' -a 'Proper' Folding Bike....?
Believe it or not I actually have one of these I brought brand new (frame No. 
, I even have the Montague carry bag for it complete with wheel pocket and Velcro ends on the carry handle to fit onto the frame inside the bag. It sat in my shed for many years unused and unloved but I now have it on a ship with me on the West Coast of Africa, ideal when in port and folds up to store when I go home.
I am very interested in the problems with the cartridge BB. I have just had a hell of a job adjusting mine, I had to drill the bottom and fill it with WD40 for a few days to move one cup.
I was looking at the cheapest cartridge unit I could get but now I am not sure. I have no support or LBS here, just a decent general workshop. What was the issue and what did you fit in the end? I was also considering the thread-less type where they expand in just in case I damage the threads getting the cups out.
Any advise on what to use or avoid would be appreciated.
By the way except for the saddle which broke a few years ago all the components are factory original (even the tyres which is scary) so if anybody wants any details or pictures of this thing as it was built just ask.
