Re: SammyS' modernized Pinarello super prestige. http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewto ... p;t=382768

I had this Pinarello frameset(year 1983),made of Columbus KL tubing, hanging from a ceiling hook for a couple of years.The Columbus KL tubeset is one of the lightest(1670g) ones from 1980's Columbus range.It has all internal cable routing,both gear and rear brake cables. The original...

I,m happy that so many of you liked my Alan.Thank you all ! My 2 personal favourites were Breezer Lightning and Mantis Flying V.

Thanks !

IG chain 8-speed pin width was 7.1mm HG was 7.4mm One significant compatibility issue is always to avoid using a HG chain with an IG-only crank set. The chain will release from the large (outer) chain rings too easily while in the larger rear cog. It may be possible that the chain drops off the...

I already have this cart 111mm bb nos.It is with bsa cups and i need italian ones.The cartridge unit is the same on both bsa and ita.You just change the cups.Campy's Cartridge bb:s from year 2000+ don't work for my Campy Icarus compact mtb chainset. Chorus is 103mm axle,centaur is 111mm,but it...

About cranksets,any 6-8 speed specced crankset shoud work.With 9-10 speed cranksets you would probaply run into problems,because the chainrings are narrower.

So you have a thread on freewheel with ug sprockets or 6-speed separete ug cassette sprockets for cassette hub ? Uncle Sheldon says:https://www.sheldonbrown.com/k7.html#uniglide

Italian cups needed for this Campagnolo cartridge bb.Whole bb also ok.

Only italian cups needed for this bb.

I assume you have 7-speed ? At least 7-8 speed hg chains work. Shimano hg40 chain is for 6-8 speed drivetrains.You can use any other brand 6-8 speed chain.

Re: Outstanding bikes Wim ! Keep 'em coming...keep 'em coming.

Re: Re: Italian cups also have right hand thread on both sides.

When Shimano moved to 7-speed cassettes/freewheels both UG and HG were available.You needed a cassette body wich had threding also on the outer part the body,beacause the UG-cassettes were using the smallest sprocket for a lockring.HG cassettes had a seperate lockring.The reason for this change...

WOW ! Kingbling that is one seriously cool bike.And the colour is,well...simply stunning.

Re: More candybikes:Modernized Rossin with Columbus Aelle frame tubing(1990 ?) and Campagnolo Veloce 10-speed shifting. Bought this one quite cheap with full Campagnolo Athena group,6-speed friction shifters and tubular wheels.The idea was to make it easier to ride with lighter...

Re: Re: What size seatpost does your bike have ? According to the Alan brochure from Fabio Farelli's site it appears that the specs have changed over the production years.So yours might well be made by Alan after all.

Weightwise the closest match would be Columbus cromor 2190g for tubeset.
