Any reason why I can't make my own cables up?
Is there anything odd about Ergos and the attachment of the gear cables?
Or the brake cables come to that?

Re: Basso
That's what I said earlier. It's all brand new and unused kit.
It's not original to the frame - downtube levers (poss Mavic)
and brakes (deffo Mavic).
What I got with the frame his father had bought already to
upgrade the bike. It was his pride and joy. Then he died...
Team Lard.
Sixteen stone. I knew you were wondering.
Occasionally mess with recumbents. Low Angle Recumbent Dynamics.
And 'Team Hot Pies' were featured in MBUK before it became the
S***e P**t Fanzine, stopped being about riding bikes and became
all 'lifestyle' and 'how much can you...
Thay are actually branded 'Mavic' if that helps.
I'm going to change them, may not be fitting the Veloce brakes pictured
but going for some dual pivots which might have a chance of actually stopping the bike.
Sorry, Guys.
I know pretty much all I need to about the group.
It's the frame that I don't know anything about.
It's lug brazed so it's pre 90s, Columbus tubing with Stronglight headset and Cinelli stem (XA?).
What can you tell me?

The wheels are Open Pro on 8spd Veloce hubs.
Brand new but a dozen years old or so.
This gear has been in my mate's loft for yonks.
Not sure who built the wheels but it could have been Woodrup in Leeds.

Got this...
...with this...
...and this
Given some decent weather and some luck in finding a matching chainset, I should have this on the road for late spring :D
I'm given to understand it's early 80s but the gruppo (which is all brand new BTW) is 8spd Ergo with single...
:evil: Got this by email today PMSL :twisted:
NATAL CURRY CONTEST

Note: Please take time to read this slowly.
For those of you who have lived in Nepal, you know...

OK. So I've got too many bikes. (So what's new?)
The question is what do I sell?
The list is as follows:
1992 Trek 950 - That's MY bike (and I'll NEVER sell it)
199? Dynatech - built into 16spd roadbike/tourer with slicks & drops
198? Peugeot - fillet brazed, 14spd 105/600 with guards...
