Well I did think long and hard about it. When you see some of the complete bikes come up for sale it doesn't really make financial sense to do what I've done, but it's a bike for life for me so what can you do. Re paint, that was a nightmare.... I won't bore you with the story, but in...

Polished up and ready for paint.

Which after a lot of consideration led to Winston and Mario at Vaz getting involved. Interesting development was that after having a Mavic BB fitted for all that time it had rubbed away a large part of the thread in the bb shell it must have been resting on. So, a new bb shell went in too…...

This is where we ended up🙁

After sadly developing a crack in my seat tube I was forced to repair and respray the old girl. I took this opportunity to tweak a few things, and as it’s really my only bike bar an old Bear Valley I thought I’d entertain you lot with an exciting build thread. I’ve detailed the bike here before...

Am I right in thinking the taper on all shimano’s is JIS and not ISO? If so they won’t fit well with the Campy cranks anyway will they?

Hi. I think I’ve just sprained my thumb scrolling through all that lot you’ve got, strewth. I ‘think’ that the 91 was specific to the XTR cranks so have updated want to the 90 as it’s to go with a Campag Centaur. Regarding length I’m coming off a 120 ish which I’d never measured until now...

This to slot into my Roberts that come back from repair next week hopefully. Always used a Mavic sealed but for various reasons I’m going for something more standard this time. I’m after as close to box fresh as possible, want to fit and forget basically.

Hi there, I actually could do with these. PM’d.

Pm

As per title, nice condition only please. Thanks, D.

Is there a reputable place to get these or does anyone just grab from Ebay - which looks easy? Apparently you can only get them with a tube set, and I'm getting bike resprayed atm, so need some replacements. edit - I've just mailed Columbus - see if they can help. Thanks, David.

hi there sorry for the delay - had to make sure this was going to be the right thing. Yes that's fine - just pm me your details and I'll send you the money. Thanks, David.

thanks that seems reasonable. Let me just make sure this is the route I'm going - and I'll come back to you. Also making sure the repairs are all going according to plan. Will let you know tomorrow - thanks

OK thanks. Did you have a price in mind?

Thanks for that. I think I'm looking for something just a smidge tidier, only cos it'll be fresh from the painters... But if I can't find anything sooner I'll let you know.

Morning. I haven't heard back actually so please show me your wares :)

28.6 is the one please sir.

Still needed as I guess Winston’s tubes are chubbier than he thought as the 28.6 doesn’t fit. I don’t know what sizes they came in but based on my maths it looks like 29.5. Nice condition please as it'll be going on a nice, newly painted frame.

I like this alot but I can't afford it
