Hi, Colour isn’t that important and condition would just be, as good as possible as long as I could improve them. Steerer, I was hoping for quite long - 20 cm’s or so ( I’m being a bit vague! ). Maybe just tell me what you’ve got if you find them…. Thanks for responding, Paul

I’ve found an old Kona frame ( mid 90’s) and wanted to add some rigid forks. The obvious choice is some P2’s ( I think but don’t really know). Has anyone go any they want to sell?

Mine which I bought in 96 has much the same sort of spec as yours. Kore stems, seat post and bars seemed to be standard. I was thinking of changing my Judy forks to some Pace ones…..but haven’t yet. Stiff, fast bikes!

it looks fantastic and its a great story!

Hi Nick I'm not ignoring your kind message - my messages don't seem to send when I pm you. I will try again.

Re: Re: That looks really interesting - think I'll have a go at that. Lovely bike Very similar to the Selbach. Thanks

Thanks guys - I will post some pictures - but I'm in Bristol and the brakes are at my other place in Wales at the moment. I'm sure all the cable parts are there - they look fiddly. I thought they'd been soldered.

I've got these for a Selbach I've been meaning to build for a few years. I've got the levers and the Calipers but the cables remain a conundrum- I have the remains of some and can see that they split so that each Caliper has its own cable but not in a way I can improvise a working set - finding...

Re: is that a Chater Lea crankset?

Stunning and just like mine (apart from mine being single speed awaiting a 5 speed set up with simplex derailleur!) Love the way you have restored this - large flange wheels etc etc etc.

Watch out for rear spacing / oln with some of those modern 27inch wheels. They may not fit.

Re: 50's Holdsworth?

great photos!

Well I really enjoyed this event this year - especially Holdsworth( even if it is Planet X!) and Condor stands as well as a the smaller bicycle builders. Some interesting talks too.

Others on this site may know better than me....I'm basing this on my memories from 40 years ago and a recent rebuild of my own! I also remember GB stem and short mudguards! I think the cranks were raleigh / carlton.....

Hi - I think mine is mainly Weinman for handle bars, centrepull brakes and levers, simplex gears, weinman hubs/wheels (not really sure here), wrights / brooks B17 style saddle. Wheels would be 27 inch with amber wall tyres. might be worth seeing if the chrome polishes / cleans up?

Stunning bike - Argos do some great work. campag record stuff and the brooks saddle look great too. I bet it rides really,really nicely.

see you there!
