Revolution Brewing Opens Today
Posted by Chicagoist on 03.02.10
I am not here to debate what a brewpub is, how many there are in chicago or what defines a great beer - i'm here to talk about a great new place in a great part of town.
Not only it is awesome that this place is located in Logan Square and not some lame Lincoln Park spot, but they rehabbed an existing building allowing the community to maintain its authenticity. The light fixtutres are made from the metal hoops of beer barrels, and the wood of the barrels are used to make a portion of one of the walls. If you are looking for credibility of the owner's only desire t just serve great food and beer, look to the fact that there are only 2 TVs in this massive space.
Re: HowTo: Removing the Stock grips
If the ISO grips you are referring to are the same as the Kuryakyn grips I put on my Harley, I used plain ole super glue. There are also several types of glue removers and solvents available at paint and body shop supply stores that make it easy to remove the original residue. The Harley shop installed the new grips on my bike with the traditional glue and(as usual) within a few weeks the clutch side came loose. That is quite an unsettling experience to be tooling down the highway going way too fast and the clutch side grip comes off in your hands. It does tend to leave pucker marks on the seat leather. I heard that super glue worked better for those
particular grips so I tried it and I've
What kind of handlebar grips would have originally been fitted to a mid 1930's bicycle?

I bought a tandem bicycle thirties who is original in every way outside of his handlebar. I know it's a minor detail, but I was wonderfing I could replace them by cycling more authentic. The handlebar is to design roads North of this aid - they are made not drop handlebars.

My first big bike, bought for me as a 12 year old in the early 1950s was an era Hercules 1930 (used machine _very_ it was, too!) The handlebar was made of black rubber. I remember this is good because the handles were slightly perished and rubber dust "that would stain my hands. Incidentally, if you can not get proper handles, you can always wrap the bars in the old black guy "cotton" tape which was often done in the good old days.
NB I now have a fully furnished accommodation Trek Navigator 400 ...which machine it is - and no rubber grips were killed in combat, either!
