Well, I'm back in the UK, but haven't collected the bike yet! But, as well as buying this one whilst away, I also managed to buy a British Eagle touristique which is being collected at the weekend, and a flat bar converted Galaxy, which I collected on the way home last night.

I'd use a good quality 2 part epoxy suitable for metal, in the past I've used to use a Aztec chemicals product but I can't get it anymore, but recently I've been using Mannol 9905 with excellent results https://www.mannol.de/products/car-care-products/glues-and-adhesives/mannol-epoxy-metal...

God damn it, it's almost 11pm and it's still parked up

Just seen this on a side street in Garda, wonder if he'll accept €20 for it, the saddle is knackered afterall!

Another way I've done it in the past was, and this only works with steel cups of course, is run a bead of weld using an arch welder on the inside of the cup, pretty much where the bearings run, as it cools down it will shrink a touch then hopefully release 👌 Good for stuck headset races too...

Then break out this kit to clean up that bottom bracket 👌

Yes please. I'll pm you 👍

Black gold, still got a push tube of that in the bike tool box wrapped up in a protective sandwich bag - if you don't, it gets everywhere 😭

No, but it's something I'd do. Only problem would be it would end up just a straight fit, as opposed to most aheadsets having a taper design to lock it down, but, you could easily machine that in, if the top cup had enough meat in to machine

Haven't got any Italian bikes of my own to show, but I'm currently in Siena and found this bike shop sign which I thought was appropriate for this thread

Does my shed fit into this post Got quite a few bikes hidden around the place

I'd give that a home! But, would you be able to post it?

Yup, use it all the time, quoted the location for my post from the db. And, a couple of good Facebook groups too https://www.facebook.com/groups/17128487171/?ref=share https://www.facebook.com/groups/489023658159249/?ref=share

But It's only $20!

Here's one of my local one's, Bothal bridge, Northumberland EDOBID: e02386 - one of many still around the area

I've had this picked up for me whilst I'm looking for a Galaxy 😂 https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/hardisty-531st-tourer.479711/

Stop listening to the person who told you that two bolt stems are no good....... Enjoy your Galaxy, I'm looking to pick one up soon too 👌

Can I enter? Whilst, technically, I own this bike, I haven't actually seen it in the flesh yet as I'm currently (Motorhome) touring Europe and a friend picked it up for me back home so I've only got the sellers pictures and info. Hardisty (of Byker) 531st tourer with campag groupset, dynamo...

Whilst not exactly tip finds, my family ran skip hire for years and my dad would always put any bikes to one side for me. Over the years I've had some very nice bike finds, probably the best was a Joe Waugh, reynolds 531c, can't remember the groupset but was far too small for me, one of the...

Can you use, or any of your best friends, know how to use a lathe? A set of salt and pepper pots, or a single bigger chilli flakes pot?
