Is athena 111 mm symmetrical and Triumph 113-114 asymetric?

Athena is way prettier IMHO :)

Can try and twist off but not a lot to resist the torque and might bend/ open the coils. Give it a go and stop before anything happens to the outer.

That looks like a Campag bit of outer from my era :) https://velobase.com/ViewComponent.aspx?ID=043b3439-c160-4c31-bd1d-1d986376c2f3 Blimey they were shockingly expensive BITD. Yep, just cut off the ferrule from the outer....

Don't know much about colnago so had a bit of a read here about the Arabesque https://ciclicorsa.com/news/colnago-arabesque-a-steel-jewel-with-precious-details/

Paint and chrome look in a pretty poor state......

For light reading on the loo there's All about the bike, and one man and his bike.....

Did you post the forks to them?

Will a ferrule on the outer help? Seem to remember the official campag one that was just silver exposed metal had a ferrule that fitted into the chainstay stop.

All I meant was that Nuovo Tioo were the Campag cheap range and when you took them new out of their green box they were nowhere near shiny..

Is there a frame number that might identify what the frame actually is?

They are not Nuovo Tipo lol

I worked in a bike shop back in the 70's and must have changed hundreds of "blocks and chains" Bolting on a hardened steel tool against a cheese like metal made the metal of the slot peel sideways like a banana skin. Often easier to remove the cogs and stick the body in a vice.

Very shiny Nuovo Tipo, never that shiny out of the box 40 odd years ago :)

Where campag short dropouts available in 1970

Are the rear dropouts campag 1010/B short dropouts, can't see from the photos

Nice, if pricey. Are you sure it's all 1970? Some stuff looks later.

I bought a watch from the states and also got a tax bill which was a bit unexpected. I ignored several letters until one came from a debt collection agency......

Looks like a Raleigh Arena. Hard pressed to think if Raleigh made a cheaper frame......

Thanks for the info :). I've got a Paramount frame...... Ultra short wheelbase, drilled lugs and dropouts, shot in stays and almost straight forks. Sort of has Pongo written all over it.
