    Middleburn Crank not fitting onto Bottom bracket

    The washer on the axel needs to be removed - it is a pointless Shimano thing. You can weaken the washer with an appropriate drill with the other end of the axel in a vice. Work slowly because you don't want to damage the bearing seal. You will then be able to prise off the remaining stupid...

    Wanted Want to buy titanium road frame or set

    £250 is pushing it with very limited picking. Around £350 - £400 it will open up more but you will still need to be reactive and not hesitate. A Ti MTB could be had for closer to your budget. Just my humble opinion and just saying.

    Jaguar

    You mean what they've been bombarded with, brainwashed, and led down the garden path to want. As always. I wouldn't touch any of this with a 6 foot long shitty stick. Call me a late adopter with arrested development.

    Anyone good at identifying mech hangers?

    No. I have done it the other way. Sold just the mech hanger instead of going through the hassle selling a crappy frame attached to it :D

    Oh man. Just look what is going on here o_Oo_O 2 + 2 = 4 ..... really 4, but it can be squeezed out to 8.

    Vintage French randonneuer's and porteurs.

    Q2: It varies with period. The rear rack / mudguard mounted ones for a while post WW2 were aluminium in general. Personally I think they were as much useful as a "throwing in something else" marketing thing. The French tended to go for this rather than cute little saddle bags like in the UK...

    Agree. To pull off mixing silver and gold is not something easy. A very fine line here trodden to grab attention but in keeping to be be humble too.

    Been posted a few times there. And even more lucrative ones elsewhere on the BMX and MTB side in the past. @Canuk - please respect the wishes of the OP. He goes over backwards in nourishing us with a finely pointed theme for the duration, and while I know he his open to "flex" this is velo is...

    As above. He said it early. I would like to think the sport is cleaned up - sufficiently enough - at least professionally these days. The old epoch (read 50s - 70s) is sort of an open shut case. Remember there was a death with certain Tommy Simpson which highlighted what the sport and the...

    👍 Hinault on the track (on a track bike too). Will always be a mystery why he never went for the hour record.

    Is this the Nitto S65 - re-make / copy?

    👍 Never been disappointed with them. Got a few in the parts box in various scratched states and sizes to help just throw builds together when trying things. The S65 finish is sublime. It's no lightweight post but I always appreciated the precision of manufacture and quality of fixings. Sold...

    And Generalized too. Best S65 copy and functional enough is a Kalloy IMHO.

    Is this the Nitto S65 - re-make / copy?

    No way at all. I have a Fuji branded post very similar to that Ritchey, which errrrmmm not much of surprise considering what Ritchey does.
