Re: I am not sure what happened to the photo, I might have copied the UREL from an non public Google map, I try again here. Yes I have seen the pictures you are linking to in my search for the frame. I belive we are on the right track.

Re: I got a new lead today when a similar frame popped up in a Facebook group. The distinktiv hollow ends at the rear stays and the front fork is used by Batifoulier & Collas also known as BaCo, a French company.

We (a group of 10-15 Norwegian) was thinking about doing another ride/festival next year as the cycling seems to become less important at the Eroica over the years, we are doing this as a "man event" no wives allowed. Anyhow when the date was released last Friday we decided quickly to go to...

Re: Thanks for the reply. I am not convinced about the Japan lead, because all Japanese frames I have seen from this period seems to have distinct serial number using a system of letters and numbers under the bottom bracket. By the way around the late seventies the French manufacturer moved...

Some more information has cropped up, the lugs on this frame are Bocama Super Professional R4, Bocama is French as far as I know. se also http://www.classicrendezvous.com/France ... cama_3.htm

Thanks for the reply, after carefully inspecting the bike and comparing to other bikes, I am concluding, the bike is repainted and rebranded. The headstock label is from late eighties, the two other labels are from around 76-77. I have so far no clue of the frame origin, but it's most unlikely...

Re: No the slot goes behind the bolts, have a look some posts higher to see similar cleats installed. One small note, this type of cleats are quite wide and for some narrow pedals it's not possible to use them, for instance I can not use them on the BSA pedals on my 1960 BSA Golden Fifty.

I recently purchased this DBS Proffessionale from the mid late seventies. DBS was a Norwegian bicycle manufacturer, they made all kind of bikes, but they stopped making their own racing frames around 1972, all racing bikes frames after 1972 was purchased from other manufacturers. Known frame...

Re: I have used the Exustar plastic cleats as sold by SJS cycles for two years now, there is no problem getting out of the pedal.

Re: Thanks so far I made a comparison sheet for easier understanding the differences. I am making a comparison between the following: Bergskønig-Gstaad, Switserland Eroica England-Peak District, England Eroica Limburg-Valkenburg, Netherland L'Eroica-Gaiole-Tuscany,Italiy Velo Classico-...

We are a group of about 6 friends, some keen vintage cyclist and collectors, some just have one bike and participates just for the tour and the party. The last two years we have gone to Eroica Britannia, but now we are considering something else as the English Eroica seems to be more a family...

Re: I am interested in the 39 135BCD Campagnolo please, do you post to Norway?

I have a totally worn out 105 Golden Arrow rear derailleur with a long cage that needs replacement. I have some 600 Arabesque in my parts bin and will use one of those, but all of them are short cage. I like the long cage on the Golden Arrow, and is wondering if it's possible to transplant this...

Re: It seems like the UK Eroica team has simplified the original rules used by the Italian and the other l'Eroica events, I don't think their intention is to rule out non indexed bar end shifters, rod operated shifters or other strange ways of shifting gears. According to the rule as its stand...

Re: I think you are wrong with your assumption that bar end shifter is not accepted, they are clearly accepted in the Italian event, but I shall check rules of Eroica Britannia as well. The two years I have been participating in Bakewell there has been no control of the bikes whatsoever and I...

Its only three weeks until the festival and I challenge you to show a picture of yours ride. I will be riding this Monark 90320 also called Super Continental from 1967. Its with the older Record groupe, thus I have 45 as the smallest chainwheel. I might cheat and put on a later 144 BCD crank...

Re: I am also searching for information about Elswick Hoppers, I own a Elewick Hopper Tour Angelais Prima, based on serial number it should be around 1963 built, but its old fashioned with its Cyclo rod operated front shifting mechanism, My bike has GB brakes, It seems like the wheels has been...

Re: Man y of the cheap five speed freewheels on the market are much wider than the old types, The old freewheels from the sixties and seventies measures about 25 mm in with, many of the newer types measures around 28-29 total with. It seems like many manufacturer are using a 6-7 speed body for...

Re: DBS Holdsworth I just came across more of the DBS branded Holdsworth, they are presented on this web page. http://www.cykelhobby.com/dbsmystery.html Frame numbers are 4171 on the yellow and 4131 on the blue, which seems to make sense, the mystery is the greenish one with frame number...
