Re: Black quill stem Great. All I need to get my new bars and shifters fitted.

Any good? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/shimano-shift ... 25aad08042 Not sure where 600 sits in the line up but they fit 7 speed RSX http://www.bikepro.com/products/shimano ... table.html

Looking for an black Ally quill stem for my winter steel road bike 90-100mm length and to suit 26mm bars Does anyone have anything in their spares box? No longer needed.

Hi Looking for a nice pair of Shimano Skewers to finish of my wheels for daily ride. Standard 100/126 Exage hubs.

I think its from the same stable as my O'Brien. http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewto ... p;t=280783

At the moment i'm planning to swap other the parts from my other steel road bike then replace with better quality parts as I find them. Its just the BB i'm concerned about but now thinking if I can fit the one off my other bike and see what length spindle I require.

Thanks That gives me an idea of what to look for. Time to go shopping for parts

Thanks. Is there any way I can determine what length BB shaft I need. I guess it will depend on the chainset and chainline.

Hi All I have been given a V.E Edwards frame Serial Number V74032. Looking at the info I've found that tells me it was manufactured in 1974 would this be correct? Also I need info on what BB will fit? I assume its an Imperial thread and a 24 TPI thread pitch gauge seems a good fit. I am...

Thats what I read but just looking at a Hammerite data sheet it says 2 weeks ? Will try the forks in a couple of weeks time and see what happens

The painting does look good in the photo but its no where as good in the flesh Two coats of Hammerite smooth, got a few small runs and thin areas which i'll address after the 6 week curing time. It's good enough for what is essentially a cheap bike. Not that I will use Hammerite again as it...

Oh yes It's just quickly bolted together. Once I've sorted out the cables etc I'll set up the heights correctly.

Cleaned up and a slap of paint. Just need to finish off and adjust. Makes a nice winter hack. Many thanks to everyone that replied.

What size tube are the cable clips for? Thanks

Looks amazing, well done. I would love to build something as nice as that. Maybe when we eventually move house and I have the storage space.

Very nice. Now get it coloured anodised to finish it off. 8)

Thanks for the replies. I've stripped a few parts off for cleaning and it has the following: Weinmann 999 601 centre pull brakes Weizmann levers Huret rear mech Birmalux alloy rims All have cleaned and polished up quite nicely New chain and cables and then after a bearing check and grease...

Yes that looks correct. I've tried googling that and the only reference I get is to O'brien Challenger but I would guess thats not a Rory O'Brien bike? Was just curious before I strip it and rebuild.

Hi I've just aquired an old steel road bike to use as winter hack. I don't think its anything special but I'm interested in what it is and any history. Whats left of the badge: I can post more photos if required. Any info would be grately appreciated.
