    Eddy Merckx Corsa 01

    Looks like a good project, decent Dedacciai steel and a race number tab. Its clearly had a life but should tidy up well. :) Good luck!

    Dropout Merckx San Remo 1976

    https://fixmymechhanger.co.uk/ This site is very useful for these parts, I couldn't find yours though. Might be worth dropping them a line to see if they have ever offered it? I reckon it was one of these odd double faced designs like this one, and just the inner of yours has broken off...

    Dropout Merckx San Remo 1976

    As long as the old one if you do it right! I would; 1.Find out depth/thickness of the piece you need + find small piece of alu sheet to suit. 2. Measure out the hole spacing, make a couple of paper templates until you get the shape you need just right. 3. Draw round/stick on your template to...

    Making Lemonade... Look KG 381i

    Did a bit more sanding and put some primer over it. I used the other stay as a datum to guide some of my sanding, so protected it with more of the thick tape. Here's the little sketch I did to think through and illustrate my plan for the repair.

    Pristine Thorn Voyager tandem

    On sale in one of my local shops here in Oxfordshire; an absolutely mint condition Thorn Voyager, think its late 1990s. The paint is perfect and the Mirage group has never been used as far as I can see (pedals never mounted even)! They are asking £1000 ono. If anyone is interested I'll...

    Dropout Merckx San Remo 1976

    Does it just protect one side? If its a simple flat shape you could just draw it out onto a sheet of aluminium and hacksaw/file out a new one. If its a special profile that clips over/onto the frame, it might be more challenging! Do you have a picture of the broken part?

    '04 Calfee Luna Pro - Coupled

    Haha noted, Record gets a pass too! For me the newer 4 arm Campag cranks are pretty marmite - they can look great on some bikes and awful on others, really depends on the frame. So all black Red is always good! The FD clamp band is also a cool touch.

    Making Lemonade... Look KG 381i

    So here's how the fix went down - Sorry for the lack of a full photo of each stage, the sticky epoxy stage isn't ideal for stopping for pics! I bought this kit from EasyComposites. Having used them professionally for a number of years, I highly recommend them for composites, resins, casting...

    '04 Calfee Luna Pro - Coupled

    Just drooling over this again, those webbed lugs are so great. There's something simultaneously almost crude and elegant about them if you know what I mean. The bare carbon gives it a real honesty in its use of materials. Super Record is a perfect choice too. 10/10. :cool: Strong choice for a...

    BB for Topline cranks and Alan Supercarbonio

    A UN55? Or maybe a UN300 if it's newer. About 300g. As already posted, if it's smooth, I'd leave it in and ride. 😜

    Making Lemonade... Look KG 381i

    First up I had to identify the extent of the issue. I marked up the visible crack, then sanded the paint off in this area. I use a microscope at work, so used it to check the crack and took this quick picture that shows how it wraps round the stay. When I had done the investigative...

    Making Lemonade... Look KG 381i

    I am a big fan of bonded lugged frames (see my Vitus 992 build here) and I have always wanted a Look bike. Their early 2000s top end frames approach the pinnacle of this method of frame building and I felt one would fit well in my collection. I put up a wanted ad up here and was super happy to...
