Re: There have been so many challenges over the last couple of years to pull this bike together, trying to get it as perfect as possible, 3 decades on. Thought I’d get there today then realise I didn’t have a gear cable set for it! Should be quick now from there. And oh my days.... :shock: Is...

Re: Finally finding a few hours to start bolting this stunner together.... then realise I had a DA 7400 BB not a 7410. So now paused for another week whilst that arrives....

Yup!

Re: After 2 years pulling everything together.... she's ready to rebuild!

Re: Re: Indeed! Also if I was actually bankrupt... I wouldn't have to pay the mortgage any more.... and my wife would think it was only worth what I told her it cost. Maybe.

Re: Re: Much appreciated! But no it'll be with me until i shuffle from this mortal coil... or am bankrupt and need to pay the mortgage. Whichever comes first ;o)

Awesomely done!

Re: Re: Found a pic....

Yup, this! Quite an iconic bike that Hotta, most of the Team Clean riders rode one. So did Boardman briefly.

I'm almost ready to rebuild Thierry Marie's iconic '91 tour prologue bike - found nearly every component 100% accurate and NOS. The only stumbling block is the tubulars! Does anyone know anything about these? Potentially are they rebadged something else?I can't find any record of Michelin making...

Re: Managing to pull a DA 7400 groupset together all NOS. Aside from the STI's predictably... got new levers though so will look new, could do with some new hoods or bodies. July '91 group shouldn't be dual pivot I think... but they're definitely dual pivots in photo's, so got a pair of 7403's...

Anyone have a new pair of these kicking around?

The first in what looks to be an ongoing theme of recreating the bikes I lusted after as a yoof but couldn't afford.... 1997 Corima Cougar. Ex Team GB sprint frame which was a bit beaten up, resprayed to celebrate Boardmans 1994 hour record bike... but with the different front end/bar setup...

Please delete... wrong forum :cry:

Re: Re: Agreed on all points! The bars and saddle fairing the hardest parts to find and have those although decals need a tweak... groupset is much easier, procured most of the 7400/7403 groupset already NOS. And the tiger striped saddle. Seems tricky to find STI's NOS is the only thing. From...

Re: Re: I agree with your point! It's already been repainted once though... and current (lacquered over) decals don't match any reference photo's I can find.

Many thanks! Been chatting to the guys at Argos last few days who seem confident of doing this too.

Re: Re: Yup.. actually Thierry Maries 1990 frame.

Re: Re: Many thanks!

After many years waiting for the hard to find parts to pop up... now to start rebuilding Thierry Maries tour prologue winning frame back to its former glory! Looking forward to this. A bike largely responsible for me kinda wasting 15 or so years charging along dual carriageways every weekend...
