That is a stunning, headturning bike. Wow! Having now forced myself to stop daydreaming about 'if only that were mine', I wonder if there is a way to introduce an extra flash or two of red to complement the rims? Perhaps some red or 'italian flag' finishing tape on the handlebar tape (this...

Got3n, Lovely looking frame. I think the most likely cause of the ft mechanism hanger being removed is if it was twisted or knocked- it can be difficult to get it straight . It may well be a previous owner thought it easier to remove the hanger and use a band on mech. Don't worry too much about...

Thanks for your guidance. Having read your advice, my next step is to take a closer look (with a magnifying glass, if need be), to see if it is under clearcoat. Also, how touching in the scratches will look. Subject to the findings, above, I will speak to Nick, who's 'guru' reputation is...

Hi, I bought a NOS Team Raleigh a couple of years ago. I'm delighted with it, but during 30 years of storage (before I bought it) the lettering on the transfers became a little scratched. I'm keen to replace the 'Raleigh' transfer on the seat-tube. I see H Lloyd do the decals, which is great...

I have a Velo Orange threadless BB on my French- threaded 531 Raleigh. It is a simple design and fit and works well- I have certainly not had any issues with it. Just a little expensive, but..... David

That is a beauty. I have very fond memories of my Merckx (Corsa Extra)-it rode superbly. I liked it so much I had it resprayed. I was then reluctant to ride it, to avoid spoiling the shiny paint work -aagghh! :roll: Will you be riding this stunner, or admiring and polishing it, to keep it...

Konsta, I can't help, but was looking for one a year or so ago. I ended up buying an 'eccentric' bb from Velo Orange (essentially has no threads, but a metal sleeve expands inside the BB shell). Pretty expensive (£40+, I seem to recall), but if all else fails... You could try Hilary Stone...

My apologies for the poor quality photography - not my forte. I will try to get some higher resolution pics taken to give a better view of the details. Now how do I do that with this camera...? The chrome on the chainstay and fork is in very good nick. I'll give you a few more details...

Price reduced to £150, posted in the UK. Lovely, classic Italian frame and forks for this money. David

Rather a nice looking Tecnos. While not a bargain, it seems a reasonable price. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-90s-C ... 1e6b43af4c David nb - I have no link to the seller, item or auction.

No connection to the seller/ item. Looks rather nice, though - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Benotto-NOS-C ... 2c62857b06 David

I'm eager to make some space - Just two wheels left - happy to sell as a pair for £55 including postage. This will include a tyre and tube on each. Any questions, do fire away, David

As I've had a bit of a clear-out, I ought to have a feedback thread.... David
