Englische Drei-Gang-Fahrräder können lose in drei Gruppen aufgeteilt werden: | |||
===[[Roadster]]=== | |||
Der ''Roadster'' ist ein klassisches Fahrrad, das überwiegend auf den flachen Land beliebt wart. Diese Fahrräder haben zumeist 37-635 (28" x 1 1/2") [[Reifen]] mit [[Westwood-Felge]]n, [[Stangenbremse]]n, [[Kettenkasten]] und enge Rahmen[[winkel]]. | |||

Roadsetr waren vor Allem auf Haltbarkeit ausgelegt. Sie musste mit dreckigen Straßen, Pflastersteinen und unasphaltierten Fußwegen mit möglichst wenig Wartungsaufwand zurechtkommen. Es wurde kein ernsthafter Versuch unternommen, mittels design oder Konstruktionsänderungen Gewicht zu sparen. Oft werden sie als Fahrzeuge für Polizistenoder ländliche Postboten dargestellt. | |||
Roadster waren in den USA nie sonderloch beliebt, sind dort aber nicht wirklich selten. Die meisten in die USA importierten Roadster haben allerdings keinen Kettenkasten, weil die Zollbehörden besonders hohe Zölle auf Fahrräder mit einem Gewicht über 40 Pfund erhoben. | |||
Sie sind aktuell vorherrschend in Asien und Holland (daher auch die Deutsche Bezeichnung ''Hollandrad''). | |||
===Sport=== | |||
ports or "light roadster" bicycles were the basic transportation of the urban working class. They feature 590 mm (26 x 1 3/8) wheels with Endrick or Raleigh-pattern rims, full steel fenders (or "mudguards" to the British) "North Road" upright handlebars, and cable-operated brakes. Sports bicycles had rather more nimble frame geometry, typically with 72 degree frame angles. These bicycles were faster and lighter than roadsters. The vast majority of English bicycles that made it to the United States fall into this category. | |||

oldeng24lub bicycles were the elite, high-performance machines of their time and place. They were named for the fact that they were the style of bicycle popular with members of the many active cycling clubs. The poorer, less performance-oriented club members would ride sports bicycles, but the more hard-core "clubmen" would have true club machines. | oldeng24lub bicycles were the elite, high-performance machines of their time and place.

oldeng24any younger mechanics are unfamiliar with some of the idiosyncrasies of English-made 3-speed bikes. Nevertheless, there are an awful lot of them still on the road, because they were built to last, and they still come in for repair. An all-around bike mechanic should be up to speed on these bikes. | oldeng24any younger mechanics are unfamiliar with some of the idiosyncrasies of English-made 3-speed bikes.
