Retro Guru - thankyou. This guy is from Spain and has about 40 of these to sell also - coincidence?. Do you have a link to the site where the 650c's are for sale? Festina was in the right era 1989-2001 so that is a good thing for me.

Hi I'm looking for a pair of Hutchinson tubular racing tires for a 1999 period correct project - the team I am replicating was sponsored by Hutchinson. Not the most common tires to try and pick up that is for sure! Came across these - they are the 700x19 gumwall version of the carbon comp. Does...

Re: a job I would take to my bikeshop - particularly for a bike where a stuff up would be very hard to rectify or replace. If you are particularly keen there are steerer cutting jigs that can be purchased. Lovely bike to own BTW

From late 1990's and early 2000's - fitted to Team Credit Agricole bikes at that time - any suggestions? The curved/molded black bracket body looks distinctive but I haven't had any luck - unless it is a standard Zefal-type alloy red cage with an after market black attachment added to restrain...

Earlier this year I had some amazing luck on this forum finding an orphan fork for an x-4 Bianchi frame I was given - seems I'm back again with a similar quest. Jan 2018 marks the 20th anniversary of the Tour Downunder event in my home town. The original edition was won by Stuart O'Grady riding...

Deda 215's - great shape like the Speciales but about 75g lighter - not hard to find on Ebay

It had been given a modern makeover by a previous owner - braze-ons had been added etc - and including the internal brake cable run set-up. The cable entry ports are not the ones that Cinelli used in the 80's. Because the frame was so modified I decided to do a retro build rather than vintage...

Old frames with new components are the ultimate in enjoyment in my opinion – two of mine: 1983 De Rosa Professional with Campy Athena 11spd (pic by FYXO) 1971 Cinelli Speciale Corsa with Campy SR 11 spd (excuse the unsightly chain on the small chainring)

great - what a relief. Many thanks Keith

Thankyou - Any chance this might be correct?

Hi Finishing off a 1972 period correct build. Wanted to fit correct era Clement tyres and wondered if anyone can confirm what colour the Clement branding on the Seta tyres was at that time. I understand the 60's were a red rectangle - wondering whether the early 70's were the green with white...

reminds me of a post on another forum dealing with the Cinelli odd sizing (and less than fantastic stems) - it certainly summed up things and made me laugh visualising this guy's pain. I have had to edit the language down a bit but you get the idea "I am having a f****g nightmare with this...

thanks Roadking for letting me know whose it was - all fixed now

My contribution to this year’s SANTOS Tour Downunder Legends Exhibition was a re-creation of Paul Sherwen’s No 97 – the Motobecane La Redoute Team bike he rode in the 1983 edition of Paris Roubaix. Mr Sherwen was there on the night and his reaction to his old stead made the effort of researching...

Re: you're in good company.... Indurain won the '94 TdF with a similar mismatched set of Shamals

Freewheel or cassette version?

Thanks 964Cup - Most guys I ride with who raced and maintained bikes in the 8spd era have told me not to bother with spacer kits as in their opinion the shifting was never as good. May be a plan B if I have no luck with Plan A. I'm assuming the 'madness' is due to the unknown quality of the...

Thanks - looks very promising! - I see they do a 23mm tubular version in UD which would be along the lines of what I am thinking. Please let me know how you find them in use.

I want to build a set of traditional looking carbon tubular wheels to run on some 90’s bikes fitted with Campy 8 speed drivetrains. The carbon rims should give me some added stiffness and also provide the dark rims look of dark anodized rims but without the long term loss of finish that alloy...

chipper - good idea - email has been sent. With a bit of forensic research it appears that Indurain's bikes in '93 and '94 were built with Oria ML34 tubing - the decals are pretty clear in many photos on the net. Suggestion from one collector is that Dyna-Llite tubing was used in the Banesto...
