Re: No-one? Anyone? I sort of hoped someone on here might have some knowledge....

My brother in law just purchased this locally. I don't know too much about it but I like the lugged frame with horizontal top tube and chromed rear stay and chrome forks. It has Shimano kit on it, I think Exage 300. Not really sure how good bad or indifferent it is but if anyone has any info...

Re: Some lovely bikes there - liking the Pinarello, the Bianchi and the Merckx. Hard choice between those three...well, for me anyway.

Re: Hi, Nice bike. Is postage an option? Cheers, D

Re: Lovely bike - GLWS. I might be interested but I'm in NI, so collection probably not an option.

Re: No problem - if it falls through though, let me know. Cheers, DG

Re: Dawes audax Reynolds 631 I might be interested, but would need shipping/postage. Is that an option?

+1 for the skills and interest transfer. Also in these days of disposability, I applaud the attitude and approach to not just re-invigorating a "jumble of metal bits", but also invigorating the minds and attitudes of youngsters to realise that not everything is disposable. Kudos to you, sir...

Re: Was this ever finished? I'd like to have seen it completed....

Re: Rule #8 should be applied here, in my opinion. Black, black, black...

Re: That, sir, is a thing of beauty. Like that a lot.

Looking forward to seeing this - like the ice blue.

Yes - the BR5800 are the latest incarnation of 105 brakes - I have a set as I had to fit long reach brakes to the bike I had bought the groupset for. I guess the other option is to "suck it and see", Just fit them and try it. I thought I'd ask the well informed and well educated folk on here...

Hi, I'm rebuilding a Raleigh, which had some Dia Compe BRS Blaze levers (concealed cabling) and Dia Compe calipers. So I broke the spring on the front caliper, can't find a replacement spring, and, having a pair of Shimano BR5800 calipers was considering fitting those. Two questions really...

Re: rx100 hubs with araya rims 700c shed, PM sent yesterday.... Thanks, DG

I originally had in a 118mm UN55 BB. The LBS removed it, and installed a longer one - the longest they had was 123mm. and also installed a spacer to offset it a little too. All working now.

Yes Shaun it would have had originally but it had been swapped out probably 25+ years ago for a FAG plastic sealed BB. It was butchered out hence the requirement for having the threads chased.

Hi Denzil, I have a few questions please.... What is the rear spacing? Is the rear block a cassette or freewheel? Are they running true with good spoke tension? What tyres are they? How much do you reckon for postage? Sorry for all the questions :?: :?: Cheers, DG

SR Custom SAKAE 42/52. Original equipment on my Raleigh Kelloggs.

Don't think it could be Shaun - it's a Shimano UN55 BB http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/shim ... -prod71369 that has a fixed threaded section on one end - so I believe it can only be screwed in from the correct direction.... Fitted by the local bike store too....
