It's still work in progress, but this is my 8 x 6 ft shed. Heavily insulated floor, walls and ceiling. Coach bolts and shackles with heavy duty locks for security. The idea was to hang 6 of my most used bikes for easy access, plus anything needed to get out and ride quickly - clothing...

MrW, thanks for that. Now you've shown me it I recall the '85 catalogue although I don't have one on file - must be 25 years since I've seen it and it's not easily found on the web. Do you have the rest of it? Love a scan! I've just been in the loft to check out my Competition. The serial...

Apologies for the last post - truncated as my elbow was jogged on the train this morning. I've created a new topic with pics of the grey Competition frameset as requested. Paul Wiltshire, UK

A spur from the '83 / '84 Raleigh identification thread - on request and for those interested here's an '84 Raleigh Competition frame that didn't to the best of my knowledge appear in any literature. It's a half way spec between the competition frame used for the '84 UK Competition bike...

Re: Yes, dark metallic grey with chrome forks, Campag dropouts. Available as a frame only in '8

Yes - agree. A team replica from 14 weeks into '83, resprayed with added mudguard eyes. I've got an '84 `Team Replica Replica' in build - the frame actually started life as a `Competition' model gunmetal grey and not featured in the sales catalogues, but was the the same as the Team Replica...

Re: Hi Mark, it seems sometime in '64 or '65 according to this source: http://www.bikerecyclery.com/1st-gen-19 ... rare-mint/ There's a gap in the sales catalogues in the mid 60s and this seems about right. I checked a couple of '64 and '65 bikes on the excellent http://www.speedbicycles.ch/...

It's on the outer edge on each side i.e. nearest to the ball bearings and crank arms.. as per diagram `A' distance: Incidentally, the technical docs suggest that C-Record axles changed from the first iteration 109mm (1985 Catalogue 18bis) to 111mm 1988 C-Record Catalogue. Paul Deacon...

Re: All, To use British (68mm) BB width as an example: Format 68-SS-120 = pre '78 US consumer council ruling. 68-SS-120 +1 +1.5 came immediately after for the redesigned cranks, later simplified to 86-SS. These are around 114mm for a double axle, asymmetrical. Victory double would be 109mm...

Re: Hi, Coincidentally I've just transferred white Beattock from one bike to another. Reason? White Benotto appears to be getting scarce with eBay sellers wanting £20 upwards. I've used cheaper copies and they've been fine. Remember to chop a few centimetres off each roll to cover the...

Folks, over the last couple of years I've been assembling late 80s Campag groupsets. Procuring the headsets has been particularly painful (sadly I'm a `detail' person), it seems to me that the majority for sale out there are incorrectly described or simply described as `C Record era'. It's not...

Hi, so the white team bikes were ridden during the '86 and '87 season. I'm fairly sure that the Peugeot factory had nothing to do with them, but someone may know better. In terms of production Peugeots... I need a picture to help with a positive identification, but bikes in the general style...

I'll have some pictures somewhere from last year - I attempt to dig them out. I don't think Plum had a Merckx. The museum at Ghisallo in Italy had a couple though - again there's some pictures somewhere! Paul D Devizes, Wiltshire

Thanks - that looks really good. The Belgium shop you're thinking of is probably Plum in Ghent - it's go a small and very busy museum in the basement: http://www.plum-gent.com/index.htm ______________ Paul D Devizes, Wilts

I recently surveyed my brochure archive looking to fill in the components to go with some NOS Campag 980 kit I have. Italian builders sometimes used Ofmega, but hardly ever a full groupset. Most used is Gipiemme Sprint. sOme evidence of more unusual kit such as Rino. In terms of Ofmega then...

Yes - I've always assumed Anetos with 501 and 531 tubes to be '88. it appears in the '88 UK catalogue, but I've not managed to dig up an '87 UK catalogue. Also I think Anetos were a UK only model (although I please correct me if you've better information). _____________ Paul D Devizes, Wilts.

Thanks.. That was my interpretation, it was suggested by a friend that I might stand a chance.. I knew it was going to happen.. but I've been looking for a long time for essentially NOS calipers and levers that I decided to go for it and offset the price against time saved looking in the...

Folks, once again customs have my delivery from the US - I'm well used to paying fees that sometimes come to more than the purchase price.. The VAT on these '88 Croce brakes comes to £40. I've not paid it yet to release the package. According to the government website, 2nd hand goods are...

Re: COLNAGO RED SARONNI 1978 Hi beautiful frame, sadly too small for me - it's mid 80s vintage (I contributed to another mid Colnago dating post on the forum recently).. Gook luck!

Thanks for all the comments. More pictures can be found here: https://picasaweb.google.com/116475815710259027433 Along with the various other projects. It's been a couple of years in the making - it started with the purchase of a 23.5" '82 version of the frame that came with a pair of...
