Re: Jack Taylor Super Clubman Barn Find - * small update page 9 Stunning photos and a truly beautiful bike.

This is my much loved Opera Leonardo. Carbon main tubes, fork and wishbone seat stays, aluminium lugs, chain stays and head tube. The bb is stamped 00 and the seat post is 27.2 mm. The fork, wishbone seat stays and bb/ chain stays seem identical to some Pinarello models of the time. I've read...

Thanks for posting - looking forward to this thread. Interesting frame with the mix of French and English measurements.

Thanks for posting -really interesting idea of a quality frame as a base for a roadster. The 26" wheels and size of the frame look well proportioned (no toe overlap) too.

Really beautiful frame.

The bike looks excellent- love the colour and dimensions of the frame. There's an interesting review (and info) here - the writer says they are appreciated by those who know their touring bikes. http://www.thevelocollective.com/britis ... ic-or-not/

The Peugeot is looking great - that is a truly beautiful frame.

Lovely frame and interesting story.

Re: Kona Lava Dome 1994 updated 7/11/10 Beautiful! Once had a 1991 Fire Mountain in a unusual blue colour. Really nice bikes.

Lovely versatile frame & build. The fork crown is a beauty.

Fantastic thread alongside the info from classic lightweights & bike forums.

Thanks richardshill, appreciated. Will check out the Dia Compe levers. One final photo here, with the original mudguards (cracked shortly after) & saddle (couldn't get on with). I enjoy how versatile this frame is: descending the rapid south side of Toys Hill was rock solid, it climbs really...

Beautiful frame, looks stunning!

Thanks for the encouragement and heads up about the tektro levers Foz. I didn't know of those & reckon that's the way forward. I've read a lot of horror stories about Weinmann centre pulls not wanting to stop a bike. That's not been the case here; the braking is fine with plenty of power. I...

Hello fellow Retrobikers, I've learned a great deal and spent many enjoyable hours seeing beautiful bicycles and ingenuity here at RB. First time to start a post. I'm a novice with old bikes (even though the 3 formative bikes of my life were a Puch Mini Sprint in 1973, Raleigh Arena in 1978...

Cicli Sport Gastaldi have two shops in the Cuneo area, Piedmont, Italy. Their website has a history (seem to have been around since 1920s?) and a contact page. May be worth checking if they have a connection to this Gastaldi. https://www.ciclisportgastaldi.com/contatti/ Lovely looking frame...

That's a beautiful frame, good to see it back on the road. The Stronglight chainset is stunning.

Absolutely stunning. Beautiful!
