A bit if an update on this. I’d sort have not bothered with it for a while due to time Constraints and losing a bit of interest due to the ridiculously thick paint. In places there were 4 layers of spraybike and then the original paint plus original primer. It’s s little wonder i couldn’t get...

I’ve got a Tange sekei on my 1990 explosif and very nice it is too. I always like the old mavic headsets but they’re not everyones cup of tea.

Could i have these please? Ive sent a pm

Hopefully they invest in a new camera with the proceeds.

Heat and then cold water to try and break the seal can work if theres a few teeth to work with. If its a steel frame Caustic soda is a very last resort as it will disintegrate the aluminium cups. As long as you arent bothered about the paintwork on the frame that is.

I feel your pain. Hammer the spindle out through the plastic non drive side. The plastic will give way and will come out with the spindle. You can look at the metal cup then and decide how to get it out. Ive had to carefully hacksaw through the metal cups on a few occasions. If you do use a...

Can i have the Deore rear mech please? Ill send you a pm now.

Ive Just messaged re pedals please.

Thanks for replying. Ive sent you a private message. I’m not sure if you’ll be able to reply to it as you need a certain number of posts before the site will let you. If you can’t, message me on here and we’ll try and sort something.

Who's pulled the trigger?

Yes, I'd appreciate it if you could please. They will be shorter a-c length than I was after but should make too much difference.

I’m Possibly looking for a set of p2’s 410 a-c and threaded steerer 160mm for 19 inch frame. Triple butted would be nice too. Around 1996 Ive just bought a paid of SID’s but not sure i’ll get away with 100mm travel on my 96 explosif. I await the avalanche of replies with interest.

I used hand gel. It evaporates so disappears once theyre on

£1000 and he only wants another £100 to clean it for you!!

I’ve stripped most of the paint off using heat now (just the 3 layers of spray.bike in most places) but its mostly down the the primer so might try again with the Nitromors. I did think about sandblasting but last one I had done was quite harsh and I know these tubes are quite delicate so...

The drive side chainstay needs closer inspection as well I think.

As If by magic its appeared!

I had to drill out the BB bolt and ran a tap through the threads and they’re all still good. There’s definitely a lack of frame number present unless I’m looking in the wrong place. I then got some Nitromors (original full strength stuff) on the paint and it barely touched it. The paint was very...

I saw this on ebay and thought that it was time for another project. Its going to be a slow burner I think. Its in decent shape except the cable guide bolt on the bottom bracket has rusted in(and the glaringly obvious 🤣). I put some plus gas on it and then the bloody bolt snapped. Theres still...

I’ll take it please.pm on its way
