Re: velo de Cyfac, Jean-Claude Garde 1989 Super U-Raleigh-Fi Lovely to see Richie, I have a very soft spot for these bikes as you know. Would love to get my hands on a 54cm ex team frame one of these days. Would also like to see some bigger pictures please. Martin

Lovely bike, I really like these late 1980s Peugeots and would love to see Maca's 653 Athena actually wearing Athena...it's got sod all to do with me of course, I'm just a pedant! Your 10 Speed idea will hit the snag that the rear drop out width will be too narrow amongst other buggeration...

I'll give a big thumbs up to the Michelin Dynamic Classics in the links above. A nice tyre, smooth rolling and so far have resisted punctures.

Oh don't you worry, he's under strict orders to be good to it...I've filled him in on the significance of this bike's original condition! M

I'm looking for some too! If you find enough for two bikes let me know, I'll do likewise... Martin

Spot on, I shall very much enjoy riding alongside its new owner...he's new to retro biking but I'm sure he's going to love it. Martin

Can you buy an entire chess set in a pawn shop?

Are part-time band leaders called semi-conductors?

How does the snow plough driver get to work?

I had the same problem on my Dynatech with a Campagnolo C Record headset. I bought a set of these and now am able to properly apply some torque to the locknut which wasn't possible with just one 32mm spanner. You get a pair of spanners which are high quality so you won't damage the spanner or...

Re: What tire pressure do you run on your road bikes?/////// I run my 700 x 23C Michelin Hi Lite Super Comp HD at 110 psi (I'm 164lb or 74Kg). They feel comfortable at that pressure and I have found them more prone to punctures at lower pressures. Martin

Definitely 2 pairs for me...it's not quite the same wearing the shirt with plain black shorts!

They're Chorus, circa 1993 by the looks of it...

Thanks guys, I may have a more serious (or simply frame specific) set-up issue then. With the 15-28 freewheel installed the B screw is wound out so far it can only be hanging on by a couple of threads, I'm worried it might bend or drop out. I have experimented with chain length and in this...

Hi Stephen, I'm running 52/39 as it is so I'm on the smallest I can go on the current C Record chainset. Martin

Athena or Chorus??? Hi folks, I am struggling a bit with the C Record rear dérailleur on my Raleigh Dyna Tech. It handles the 13-23 freewheel without drama but as soon as I fit a 14-26 or 15-28 (for sportives) it shows its limitation both in terms of range and ability to index. I am aware...

I'm sure Greg will sort you out, just be patient as the mail from Oz was slooooooooow! The paint work is superb, love the colour and the sparkle of the paint is fantastic! I found the basis for my build at Hilary Stone as a complete Dyna Tech 600, it was in very nice condition as it was but the...
