GA Cycles in Southampton (Shirley) can sort this out for you, they have a tame framebuilder.

Here you go. They are currently on a 170mm Veloce crank, which you are welcome to for free as it's orphaned. The rings have been barely used. PM me if interested.

Daytona is 9; it became 9s Centaur after the Daytona Speedway sued them for trademark infringement. Apparently people were buying cranks when they expected to go motor racing. :rolleyes:

Quite. Apparently a streak of sh!t up your backside is the very last word in fashion on the catwalks of Milan this year. Apart from that, unless you particularly like dealing with stuck seatposts then that's a whole load of pain they help prevent.

Yep, it's identical!

I have a pair of lightly used Veloce 9s rings, 52/39. I will dig them out and put up a couple of photos. Say £20 posted? 9s is identical in tooth thickness to 8s so completely interchangeable.

Have you tried Tartybikes?

The bearings in the freehub body wear, usually it's the outboard bearing as it's where water gets in. It's not a difficult job - dismantle the hub, then the bearing (an industrial press fit) knocks out and you press another one in.

Nice build, really personal.

I have exactly that, it's an eczema rash, and itches awfully!!!! It always occurs in the winter, if I change to a drier climate is vanishes within 3 days. I have had it for the last 5+ years, face / eyelids / neck. I was mildly allergic to one of the chemo drugs (was on ABVD) which trashed my...

@gibbleking fantastic news! I had Hogkins 22 years ago and am clear now after 9 months of chemo. A close colleague also had it, similarly to you it ended up in a stem cell transplant. 6 years on and he is fine - the transplant took a lot out of him and he looked much older for the first year but...

Good advice - all the other SRAM chains have hardened pins and last longer. Above PC850 they look nicer but functionally no better.

Re-create a classic mid 80s setup: Dual 505, NAD3020, AR18 speakers! :cool:

I agree, especially with the narrow gap between the down tube and front wheel - looks like it's been crashed.
