I think this is the case ^ I had some emails an photos go back an forth recently. I was told it definitley looked like a "Weighy" an the stickers were correct, but they confirmed they had no records.

I've got a nice Concorde frame an forks, with great paint and chrome, with Columbus Cromor tubes. Available here www.lfgss.com/thread82900.html for £110.

If you google "Sheldon Brown Dura Ace Compatability", there's a bit about the 8 speed Uniglide and ways around the common issues. Apparently they only used them for one year, so replacement issues aren't uncommon.[/i]

Cheers Ringo! :D

Hi Found now thanks. I'm a noob to tubular tyres and fancied giving them a go. I've got an old Fiamme rimmed rear wheel and I'm looking for a front wheel. It doesn't have to be Fiamme and it doesn't have to be shiny & perfect. 32 plus spokes, silver alloy finish and cheap would be...

I believe Raleigh's made in Worksop had a W as part of its frame number. I was under the impression that Raleighs with a W frame number were made in Derby (not Nottingham or Worksop) as part of Raleighs Lightweight Unit, along side the SBDU bikes.

I paid for this a while back and had it couriered to me. The plan was to send it on to a friend overseas, but that probably won't be happening now. It's currently still sitting boxed up in my hallway, so if anyone is interested let me know. I'll unpack it an take some more photos and list...

Crazy people out there! Hope you feel better soon & well done in continuing the training for the charity ride. Do you have one of those online charitable donation pledge page thingies? Could be a good idea to post a link.

There are a few "proffesional / hobby traders" on this site and the other bike websites, it happens. Although I think, an it's only an opinion, that it would be good if atb is Hilary Stone, he could possibly contribute to some of the enquiry type threads. Hilary obviously has a lot of...

I use some unlipped alloy rims and to reiterate what has been said above. As long as you stick to a wire rimmed tyre you should be ok. I initialy tried some folding 27x1 1/8" Panaracer Pasela. I fitted & pumped them up as normal, all seemed ok for 5 minutes. Then I heard a strange noise and...

I liked how they painted them, with a quick dip!

The Sturmey Archer gear hub probably has a date code on it? They look kinda 1950/60s to me.

I've just seen this on another site, and I thought it might be of interest to some people here. http://film.britishcouncil.org/how-a-bicycle-is-made

I pulled the architrave of a door frame when I weighed my postmans bike :oops: :lol:

Possibly worth mentioning that you get a much more consistent reading if you hang the scale from a fixed point, door frame, garage roof joist or tree. I use a digital scale for fishing, an you can get all sorts of readings when you just hold them up.

I believe Brooks also used to use a letter date code, it was marked on the underside of the leather. But Brooks lost the details of how it worked a while back unfortuanatley.
