Hi, I'm after a complete set of Miche QR skewers like the ones on my Peugeot Team Line 2000: https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/93-peugeot-team-line-2000-autopsy.405981/post-2987635 Anybody? Thanks!

Ha, ha, thanks for the kind words @MuchAlohaNui ! Sorry, the CQP crankset is ready for another build.

Thanks for the head-up @Solobici. I'm nevertheless happy with my higher-end Ti Kevlar one :).

@DACO @coyut Nice to have you onboard with information previously unknown to me, such as different subframe clamping mechanism and round/hexagonal cable stops.

Wow, with needle bearings (at least for the lower cup, it seems), as the onZa Mongo II headset on my Mountain Cycle San Andreas and the Stronglight X15 on my Peugeot Team Line 2000.

I too have seen Cirrus with both styles of FD. And generally, the band style FD was for the early Cirrus. On mine, even with 127.5mm spindle and despite getting 47.5mm chainline, the cable is still slightly sliding against the derailleur body [1]. But the front gears are operating fine with it...

So me neither 😬.

Would be interested to know if you'll hit the same issue than me with the front derailleur [1]. Since yours is the collar band version, there's hope.

If you ever put a front derailleur on your Cirrus, I would be interested to know if you hit the same issue than me [1].

I've used V33 (water washable) and a pony hair brush (not to mark the aluminum) to strip the paint on my San Andreas frame [1].

Impressive recovery. Congrats!

The Spanish bike also resembles a Litespeed Tellico, a Ti 6/4 bike too. Not a 100% match though, even when comparing with different model years.

According to this thread [1] (in French), end of the Emery bikes was 1995. In this thread, a '96 (well, '95 in fact) Ti Emery is shown. Still not the same cable stops than the Spanish bike and no more welded seat clamp, among other differences.

Wow, that late? I thought that Emery (well, the bike department) was already out of business at the time. Interesting to see that the design of the bike evolved over the years. With luck, the welding techniques too and this Ti 6/4 may be undestructible :cool:.

Could indeed be an Emery Ti. But the derailleurs cable stops don't match. There's one cable stop on the seat tube for a top-pull FD on the "Spanish" bike, whereas I can't find any on the Emery linked by @24pouces. So the Emery probably had a bottom-pull FD unless something bad has happened...

Are the dropouts that good indications to look for? The dropouts of the Litespeed Ocoee have nothing in common with the other Litespeed models. Well, at least in 1992. They furiously resemble the dropouts of some Sandvik-built bikes, though the Ocoee is definitely a Litespeed one :). Moreover...

Thanks @Mod-Master for the kind words. Good luck to everyone, the fun part was the rebuild. And now the vintage rides too :) .

This!

How did I miss this one [1] as a reference?!?? Absolutely NOS! Or maybe the article was published long after I finished restoring the frame of mine. Anyway, according to Vojomag [2], it belongs from day one to Michel Forestier, a famous name in the (early) French MTB scene. By comparison with...

Just stumbled across this Greg Lemond Titanium MTB, factory-equipped with MAVIC off-road components: https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=336036233469574 https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=336034720136392 https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=336036886802842 As explained, MAVIC components were...
