can't work out how to get the seal and spindle out Once you have the circlip out it's 'just' a matter of tapping off the body from the spindle. However easier said than done because the bearings are a tight interference fit and you won't be able just to pull them apart in your hands. What I...

Re: I'll take the Chorus bottom brackets if they are Italian.

Re: have you tried changing gear yet? I heard people used to lose their fingers when they got it wrong.

Would like a steer, pointer tip-off to a proper French cadre velo de course to hang various Mavic gruppos on. So, late 1980s - early 1990s Meral, Gitane, Cyfax, TVT (RMO) etc.. No Peugeot or crap eyeleted frames posing as racers. This is out there somewhere and I want it!

What's making Simpson's eyes sparkle. the brandy or the pills? :wink:

Re: Well, the rear brake bridge is the same type as used on my Concorde Aquilla, however it would have been nice if he had shown us the bottom bracket from underneath.

Re: Mavic ssc group set New/Nos now splitting Brakeset received, thanks.

Re: Mavic ssc group set New/Nos Dibs the 440 brakes if you decide to split.

Re: Are these still for sale? If so i am interested.

Re: That's interesting about the handlebars. I thought the 260 Italia pros came out later on in the 1990s, I think Pantani was using them in 98 with his 'Big one' stem which would make them almost 10 years old at that point! Never seen an Italmanubri catalogue from the late 1980s.

Re: I have always wanted to know what model Fignon's ITM handlebars were that he used in 1989. As for the choice of tyres he mentions those in his book and says something like they (the team) were told they would be using 'covers' (clinchers) that season and that he felt they looked bulbous...

Can be the usual suspects Ambrosio Durex, Mavic gp4, Campagnolo etc. Must have good brake surfaces and roundness. I'm in central London.

Re: I have a 61-cc x 59-cc Eddy Merckx MX leader with pro tag from 1993, team Telekom colours. Some abrasions to the paintwork, no dents, cracks or structural damage. I warn you however that it will not be cheap...

Hello, Does anyone know of somebody in the London area that can cut thread on a one inch steel fork steerer tube? My Merckx MX Leader fork only has 15mm of threading and i need to extend this so as to be able to fit my headset of choice. Thanks,

Re: All i can say is just beware of the current generation of Time i-clic pedals. Although the mechanism is easy to get into and out of the platform where the foot rests is pointed and lethally sharp - akin to Ben Hurr chariot knife blades. Twice this summer the left pedal hit the back of my...

As per title, I'm after an ITM titanium Pro Ahead stem 120-130mm. I dwell in the London area. Thanks.
