Re: Cheers! Hoping to take more photos out on a ride, just waiting for the temperature to drop a bit, I'm sat in my old cave like house and it's a nice comfy 29c which is cool compared with the outside world :shock:

Re: Thanks :D More pics..

Re: FINISHED PHOTOS We took the 'twins' out for the first test run this morning, Mrs T loved it, she said "smooth as silk! she's used to clip less pedals so found rat traps a novelty, and was entirely happy with 42/52 chainrings! :D (Those are goats and sheep in the background, not lions!)

Re: Threads stretch under tension so cotter pins usually develop 'waists'. Future tip put two nuts on the cotter pin and hit the outer nut with a large hammer this shock will free it up and protect the threads, but I guess one always uses a new cotter pin anyway as they are easy to get hold of :D

Re: Got the last bit today, the Shimano derailleur outer cable... ...then I need to set up the gears and take it out for a test run then photos of the Swiss twins together for the first time :D

Re: If they were decent forgeries i.e. You Can't tell them apart from the originals then they could be accused of trying to mislead, but they're not good forgeries :D

Re: Clearly they are fakes, no argument, but they are not really very good fakes as the shape is all wrong, no smooth curve etc so that is why I think the price is indefensible, if you couldn't tell them apart then they would be good forgeries, then I would admire them :wink:

Re: The design of the repro parts is not very faithful to the genuine article though :D
