Re: Hello - does anyone know how I can get this working over here in NZ ,would love to watch it but it will not work as I am outside of the 'zone'..

Very interesting reading -thanks for sharing

Slaying the badger ESPN movie now on you tube - well worth a watch.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=elo5_iNEjRo and thoughts also...

Re: In the old days we used to lock our bikes up - now when we go on club runs not one of us uses a bike lock - although to be fair I now live in New Zealand where bike thefts are much less common but still that is 30 or so bikes at probably an average of $8000 each sat outside the coffee shop...

Re: A mis-leading title perhaps..

Re: Very nice bike - though I think you are having us on and turn the skewer to the right side for the photos only and then back over to the left when you have finished..

Good point about brake squeal - i generally stand out on the club runs with my noisy brakes and if you watch the old tours de france etc you can hear the noise of the brakes when the riders come down the descents - not something you hear anymore..

Maybe grit or something abrasive in the pad material kicked up from the road - assuming there is still pad material present.. if they are original campag ones they probably need replacing - with something more up to date..i think over time the pad goes hard and is less affective - and from...

Either way works - a nice cap on the end of the brake cable is a much nicer finish if you are a perfectionist and also gives more chance of the cable being re-used in future - personally i go the other route and just cut it off and hide it under the front cover...also on the brake pads there are...

Thanks for the reply stringfellow - great reading up on your bikes ,very impressive. I shall get some more pics up soon but my dropouts have TVT engraved in them and nothing on the chainstays..

Re: Hello - to answer the question about there being many SB Raleighs in NZ - i haven't seen any others but i have heard there are some out there ... I have seen very few retrobikes here at all really - its mainly all the new stuff.. Unless i am riding in the wrong places.. Although some...

I had some veloflex clinchers on my team raleigh - they looked and rode great but as i use it a lot they didn't last long - they also had latex innertubes fitted by the previous owner which i am sure made the ride much more...well something but could definatly feel a difference..

Re: Looking good - Here is a link to my one ; http://oli-roadworks.blogspot.co.nz/200 ... build.html

Re: I will try and find some pics online - it's a mystery to me though..

Thaks for the link - will have a good look when i get chance.

I am riding on continental gp4000 tyres - i have them on everything and is my favourite tyre. Which ones do you use ?

Re: No nothing like an Alan - at least nothing like the one in the pic. From what i understand TVT made bikes for other companies.. I cannot see much info online tho..

Looking for info on the frame and forks. The serial number on one side is B57G75 and there is B7 on the other side underneath the bottom bracket shell. Thanks Mark

Re: Hello- so you are saying it needs a little something extra like tan wall tyres and some decals? I just bought this bike on a whim and have no idea what it would of been branded as - it says tvt on the drop outs and underneath are the following number - B7 on one side and B57G75 on the other...
