I’d imagine there are multiple threads already on the relative merits of stove enamelling vs powder coat. I think it is generally right to say powder coat should be more more durable than enamel, if done right. However, when you are going somewhere like Argos you are also paying for their...

That is impressive - particularly for powder. To answer the other point - I've been more than happy with the job Argos did on my Equipe, but that is a metallic finish involving three coats not possible with powder. If I'm aiming for a 'flat' neon finish powder might make more sense and be more...

Hi all, Long time lurker posting what will (eventually) be my first proper 'build thread'. A warning for the impatient though; this will be a slow burn as I'm juggling a number of other priorities. After being on the lookout for an Overbury's for about a decade (and picking up my Andy Powell...

Apologies, this sold some time ago - have updated thread title accordingly. Perhaps @mynchiboy can provide an update on progress?

Apologies - asking only £50 for this beauty. I’d like it to go to someone that will give it the love it deserves and impending house move forces sale.

Panaracer Pasela 1.75 get my vote.

Since posting have identified its a ‘94. Have adjusted title accordingly.

90s Dawes Super Galaxy. Mostly original, aside from new Panaracer Pasela 32c tyres, blue Jagwire cables and BBB pads. Some age related corrosion to chrome parts, but this bike has seen little use. The rims are barely worn in - this bike belonged first to my mum who rode it on a single tour in...

Canadian steel and British springtime.

I have ‘retired’ the USE post that was on my ‘88 Cinder Cone after the one on my audax bike failed catastrophically without warning - spilling me across a Sussex lane. Upon inspection on removal the rail clamp parts had begun to warp. I count myself lucky - things could have been worse.

My ‘88 Cinder Cone, work/utility bike. Nitto fillet brazed bullmoose bar/stem, Odyssey Triple Traps, Ringle h2o, Bike Bin (mounted on Thorn cro mo rack), Spa Cycles Sugino copy chainset, SunRace thumbies, SS5 levers, STX-RC hubs on Mavic 321 rims. Most of the original parts have worn out and...

My 1993 Equipe, frame fresh back from Argos. Build not strictly period correct - designed to be used rather than be a garage queen.

Thanks both - I had assumed, wrongly, that those seals on the bearings were not intended for removal! I shall have a go at regreasing and repacking and report back.

Has anyone had any luck replacing / servicing the bearings in these headsets? Are there any sealed bearing races out there that could serve as donors to revive one of these headsets?
