Hello Great article...thank you for posting it. I sold my De Ver frame on eBay a while back for not much money. It definitely wasn't like the one above thankfully otherwise I would be a bit upset by how much I sold it for lol. It was though a De Ver time trial frame of that period.

That's a good idea...I wondered what there use was for. Ta 🙂

Thanks Hammie I am going to use a single speed freewheel cog. 🙂

Thank you Jim. Is there a formula to calculate that or does that come from your experience? 🙂

Hello... My usual dim witted question which has already been answered somewhere before but I can't find it or I'm just to dim to understand it, etc, etc, etc. Q. I have a 50t chain ring crank set. As I understand the best ratio to start with is 2:1? Therefore 50:25. Are there single speed...

Thank you...everyone 😀

Thank you that's very helpful...

Hello sorry it's a bit odd but I try and simplify things as that's how I understand what I'm asking. Great answer and very informative as well as being helpful as I didn't know the place the Mirage takes in the Campagnolo family. I have Athena Ergo levers which I don't really like but I think...

Thank you. I was a bit unsure about this frame when I had seen it before. But I checked out the Reynolds 531 seat tube decal and it was the correct one for that year of frame. I think what confused me was that I had seen a different/incorrect one on the same year of frame. Thank you again.

Hello I have a Shimano 600 SIS rd from about 1986 and I have a Campagnolo Mirage rd from the mid 90s. Does anyone have an opinion to which is the better? I believe the 600 is for the use of 5/6 speed and the Mirage for 7/8 Speed? Any help or comments would be welcome...to a point lol

My SBDU was resprayed, etc in the 1990s so not original but would like to know what decals would of been? Thank you.

Hello Does anyone know for sure what the Raleigh ti team 531 Reynolds fork decals should be? Is it a round decal with ti in black on yellow? Or Is it a round decal with ti in yellow on black? Many thanks

Thank you Hamster...I will obtain a couple of springs and ask my LBS to fit them. Thanks for taking the time to reply. I will let you know the outcome.

Thank you...

When changing gear I expected a more precise action it seemed to be lagging/slow to want to change. There was a click but no 'positive' movement. The levers to me had too much play in them. The chain kept slipping off as well. Thank you.

Will do thank you!

I will check it tomorrow, I was soo disappointed. It was all a bit vague.

I bought a Raleigh bicycle that is equipped with Campag Athena Brakes/Gear Shift Levers and to say that they are wooly would be an understatement. I went to my LBS and had them adjusted but I'm still not that happy with them. The bicycle is equipped with an Athena RD , Chorus FD and is 8...

It didn't do Shirley Easton in Goldfinger much good either 😁

I guess a lot of people want the frame and the components to be original and of that time period? Looking at prices though the asking price is reasonable considering it's got components? A few weeks back there was a smaller framed sbdu on eBay built circa 1983 and was painted in some form of...
