Thank you. Learning all the time.

Thank you.

Re: No I bought the rim by itself - no bike came attached

Re: I agree it does. But it wouldn't take new Shimano gears and the Atom got stuck half way. Just got a different atom so might try that.

Hello Can anyone identify the make of the steel cottered chainwheel and crank in the picture? There is a capital N on the crank. Thanks

Re: Two pics although not sure if the threads pic will help much

Hello Got a Rigida 700c alloy rim with freewheel threads. Threads won't take British gears or something French like an old Atom 66. So what are these threads designed for? Or have French threads changed since the Atom 66? Can post a pic if it helps. Thanks

Received two nice old Campag shifters as promised: good price, well packaged and quickly posted once I'd sorted the payment out! Thanks Mark

Hello After a pair of Sachs non-indexed gear levers - the kind for braze on fittings on the downtube used on old Raleighs. Anyone got these? Mark

What's the diameter of the bars at the thickest point?

Thing is, the stem is stuck in the forks so I have to be sure I can maneouvre the bars through the stem with minimum difficulty. I will measure the gap and come back to you...

will they fit through a normal GB stem?

Yes thanks that would be great

Ive got the stem. How much for bars with postage?

Thanks. Got the mech. Common sense I suppose that Campag did the levers too. So now I need Campag Valentino levers. Anyone?

A friend has given me her early 1970s Holdsworth Equipe to retro fit back to how it used to look. So, I'm taking off the straight handlebars and am seeking GB alloy drop handlebars, Weinmann brake levers and two suitable friction shifters on a band to wrap around the tube. Would these have been...

Here's the complete bike. Bears the shop sticker of 1920s racing star Raph Wyld, who later opened a bike shop in Derby. Paintwork is quite rubbed but it is now a fully working bike and it is a lovely smooth runner. It simply glides along. The inverted Compe V front mech had me puzzled for a...

OK thanks. Understood. When you said 'another CB' I thought you meant something else.
