Re: Re: Adding fuel to this debate I submit that it says 'biscuits' on the Shredded Wheat box :shock: Voila! Not what I'd call a biscuit but maybe if they covered it in dark chocolate 8)

Re: I've got the same model as yours and yes, I've upgraded mine over the years. Have a look at the Spesh catalogue for 1995 here: http://www.retrobike.co.uk/gallery2/d/1 ... ikes95.pdf I think you'll see that the bike you have is probably from around that year. GLWTS but you'll enjoy...

Re: And so say all of us.

Re: This will take you to Sheldon's wheel building page which is really helpful: https://www.sheldonbrown.com/wheelbuild.html You can build a wheel from start to finish using it. Somewhere in it there's also a link to a book by Roger Musson which is also excellent. Be very patient and...

Re: Welcome to Retrobike :D You do appear to have acquired a bit of a habit but don't worry, you're among friends here. Apart from a bigger shed you'll almost certainly need a bigger wallet :shock: Get those pics up soon.

Re: Bought a very nice stem from Mike which arrived quickly and in good shape, Excellent comms from Mike as well. A super-smooth transaction with a top RBer. Thanks.

Re: I feel I must buy this stem. PM coming your way :)

Re: I'd like these levers if they're still available. PM on it's way.

Re: Thanks regan_ev. Yes, I think that's the way I need to go. Years back I had what may have been an Evo-Stik product called something like 'adhesive remover'. It was brilliant so if I can get a spray can of something similar I'll be well pleased.

Re: Oh well guys, the heat treatment worked very well on the foil decal but the vinyl one appears to be more stubborn and is still stuck firmly to the rim. Back to the drawing board. I wonder if I could steam it off...........

Re: Good call Ian, thanks. Why didn't I think of that? I'll apply a little hair dryer heat to them tomorrow.

I need to get a couple of rim decals copied and so I need to remove said decals without destroying them in the process. One decal is vinyl and the other foil. Any ideas? WD40? White spirit? Thanks.

Re: Deeply saddened to hear this awful news. Pat enriched all our lives and will be sorely missed. RIP Pat.

Re: Another super-smooth, super-easy transaction in true minifreak style. LX front and rear mechs arrived in double quick time very nicely packed and in excellent condition. Perfect :xmas-cool: Thanks.

Re: Metal version is fine 8) The one in the pic has the flange which butts up to the shell. let me know if you dig it out from the dark recesses of wherever it might be Ha Ha :lol: The rest of the BB is in great nick - if I can't find a cup for it I might be tempted to put the cracked one...

Does any one of you helpful retrobikers have one of these (without the crack please) to get me out of a tricky situation? The pic shows the crack in the plastic NDS cup of a UN54 bottom bracket . I first noticed said crack about a year ago but it didn't affect the rest of the BB which is...
