Re: I own a TVT 92 in Helvetia colours and I think part is painted and part of it is not. In the last photo the seat tube and stays are painted, but the top tube not. I think it is a tinted topcoat or maybe the resin in the carbonfiber is tinted. The Pinarello TVT is awesome. Looks like the one...

Re: sweet bike! I own two Kogas. One is a Road Racer from 1978 and the other is a Gents Racer from 1982. They are very good bikes.

Re: Koga Miyata webdite have a section with old catalogues. There you can check wich model you have and if it was top notch o middling or bottom of the line. Also, post a photo.

Re: Nice story!. The part about the bike swap is incredible. Thanks for posting.

Re: Yes the one I posted is a Velo Orange. There are other makers that offer them but I cannot recall any right now.

Wow! Really nice, a lovely and interesting bike

I think tall stems with a single bolt at the front suit classic frames quite well.

Re: I think that the cranks, seatpost and bottle holder paint is really nicely executed and definitely not a "let's use the spare paint" job. Nice bike but with low end components. 300 seems expensive to me. Interesting if it was cheaper. Orbea had frames with similar geometry, used by pro...

Re: Welcome to the forum! Really nice frame and the provenance makes it more interesting. Good luck with the build!

Re: Beautiful bike and with some history behind still better. I like bikes from that era the most. Finishing touches right now on a Mavic equipped KG96 like the O.N.C.E. raced.

Re: E uma maravilha de bici. Tenho andado a procura de um CBT Amadeus ha inmenso tempo mais sao muito dificeis de encontrar. Desculpa o meu portugues. Eu sao espanhol. It is a wonderful bike. Been looking for a CBT Amadeus for a long time but are very difficult to find.

Re: I like the Marrakech brown-white combo, very nice for a vintage bike

Re: Has the rear mech a b screw? If so make sure the upper pulley runs close to the cogs. If not loose it until it does.

Re: Welcome to Retrobike! Peugeots are a nice reasonably priced choice. I am Spanish but was at the Uni in Scotland back in 1997, of course with my bike. Lots of nice small roads around Dundee, south trough Fife or north to the Sidlaws.

Contini of Spain used that kind of tubing.

I did it with two front brakes. Needed to buy a longer recessed nut for the fork, the one that came with the brake engaged very few threads.

Nice Razesa. I like they frames, classy and well built. They were very common in the 80´s and 90`s here in Spain. I just bought one Razesa frame today. NOS from the 80`s. Deep blue cromovelato (Razesa called it velo cromo). 531 tubing.

I can tell you that my '85 RIH with Reynolds 531 is more confortable than my 2008 carbon Lapierre. Even though my Lapierre is the "confortable" one, there was another frame (Francaise des Jeux replica) that was supossed to be more stiff.
