Can you post some pics of these tyres please? Some more details would be helpful. Thanks.:)

Are the Stronglight 93 still Pending or are they available? I'm still interested :)

Never mind - thanks for your reply.

Interested in the Campag Centaur DP brake calipers £25. Are the y still available?

I think it was reluctant. I may have it saved on my PC. I'll check when I get home.

Can't wait to see the end product. Superb work!

I really like seeing pics like the ones posted by shedobits. Very atmospheric and the one with the bike (very nice bike too BTW) puts the scale of things into perspective.

Matrix were making them around 91- 94 too but they were all on Treks.

I posted earlier but didn't have time to add a pic so I've managed to dig one out now. I reckon it's from about 11 years ago and there are a few more marks on it now! It's also got the black M563 chainset on it. Just looking at the pic now reminds me how much I like riding it and it won't be...

Very underestimated bikes IMO. Mine is a '95 in burgundy and like CassidyAce over the years I've had it I've replaced all the heavy stuff with a complete LX groupset and it rides really well. One of the most significant changes was when I replaced the steel bars and stem with alloy versions...

Marvellous! A bit sandpaper and a little elbow grease and now the brakes are working beautifully and quietly. Not a hint of the dreaded grinding noise! Thanks again guys.

That's brilliant guys! Both methods sound do-able and nice'n'easy too! Thanks to both of you for taking the time to reply.

We all fiddle around with old bikes and old bits and pieces of bikes and there are some remarkable instances of members renovating all kinds of parts. I've got a couple of pairs of STX RC and LX 537 canti brakes which have the silver cartridge type of shoe which takes a slide in pad. The pads...

What a stunning frame. Absolutely beautiful. :cool: Besides my not having the funds, it's a bit too big for me. GLWS 👍

Are the Stronglight 93 cranks/rings still available? If LondonClassic doesn't take them I'm interested. PM coming your way.

It depends on what you're ordering - I was looking at a seatpost from the US recently and the price was around £15 but the postage was around £59 😲

Thanks to all for your replies which as usual are very helpful. It seems that this particular cassette is a cross between the MF-TZ20 and the MF-TZ500 the former being 7 speed and the latter 8 speed. As such it's probably extremely rare and I should put it on ebay for a £1000 BIN price. ;)

The freehub/wheel in the pic looks as though it's some kind of hybrid. The socket which takes the removal tool is not the normal Shimano size (but one I use for Campag fits) and the sprockets are Shimano. Apart from the removal socket there also appears to be a lockring but I've no idea what...

That's an impressive piece piece of work once a hero. Plenty of room for spares and you might even get small birds nesting in the empty drawers :):cool:

They're all special - and you can only pick one!
