I've got ck, cc, hope + others in personal bikes I prefer cartridge bearings to cleverclogs custom stuff - Take the cane creek - worst case scenario, 2 tiptop quality bearings, £24. Back to as new condition. But the bearings in there can last over a decade.

Tbh might not even be deformed to be fubar. That level of impact stress could easily change the structure of the materials around the lower headtube/dt weld, leading the joint to crack without any visible deformation - and potentially little forewarning. It's parts only.

If bikes get sold too cheaply, they often don't get looked after. I'd say $600 ought to be a bargain for a genuine owner. Rim brake bikes have flooded the market, even depressing values of collectables. Tom

Then you'd have the cantis on the back Pace Stylie🤘 And if you had another massive front ender, once you got out of hospital, you could turn them back round the right way🤠

Probably worth putting campione in the title otherwise no-one will find your post👍

Little loop up the other side of the valley onto the forest of Dean plateau, then back down to the wye, fantastic colours, the bike that is.

Like the 50s lightweights were in the 80s, the last lugged steel British-built racers of the 90s are being left in damp sheds and back gardens or butchered into singlespeed hacks😪 It is @Guinessisgoodforyou 's duty to Rescue Them All!

Charming piece, sold quite a few, but sadly caliper road bikes exceed demand 10:1 atm😪

Iirc the hubs have push-button qrs under the rubber cover? But of course you don't need to take the wheels off, you can change tyres and tubes fully assembled😎

Symptoms do indeed sound like gum. An unused sti or rf+ will always do this. You've found one pawl that isn't moving - get waggling! If the grease is 25 years old it can really solidify - you will probably need to rinse it out with solvent 1st. Soak it in petrol or similar - no smoking!

@non-fixie may shine a light @Scott-S

Done so👌

Just took these 26 x 1.95 off a ridgeback we are turning into a town bike. Tread looks pretty unworn, structurally sound, bit grubby. I thought I'd post them here in case anyone wants a pair, before I clean them up and put on ebay £30 pair posted👍

So if you can post, can I offer 225 posted to Bristol? Thanks👍 Tom
