Enjoy that first ride. Happy riding :D

Congratulations, you have done a nice build. I've always been a Shimano fan and the 7410 is one of my favourite groupsets and it takes it's place on the bike. I noticed you have gone for the old style pedal which is interesting. Did you manage to get the frame touched up? Was it a full...

Re: Colnago build- need inspiration 3TT, cinelli bars stem, bars 64-42. Netto did nice bars as well. Saddle might as well go for something up to date. Bar tape please refer back to my last comment. White tape is looking good on my Colnago. Hows it looking so far? and What groupset have...

Hi. I jumped the gun and i was letting you know there was some new pictures of the Colnago. However, just as was about to upload the computer went down and i can't get it started again. made some changes which i thought may be of interest. I thought i would use the same euphamism. LOL...

Piccie?

Piccie?

They do evoke the old emotions. The film Battle of Britain is one of my favorite films and i'm holding back the emotions every time i watch it. It's not as if i was there as i'm only in my 30's. LOL :D

Sutton Bank, North Yorkshire, a great decent and a great climb 1:4. Its just under the ton getting there and back from where i live, so i end up having to peddle around the town to get the 100 miles. There is a tricky corner half way down and if you don't get it right you will end up...

Helpful hint... If you're an experienced cyclist and you know what you are doing... then go for it! When cycling you will see.... the little boy racer, who is a cock, and the girlfriend who will be giving you a look and the granny, in the other car, that's been married for the last 40 years...

Battle of Britain and the film outstanding. Said in German in the film and was said at the time. "Give me a squadron of Spitfires" Said to the fat bloke in the white uniform can't remember his name from the top of my head. The MK9 was the top dog when it went in to service, i think in 44, and...

Cinelli would be the first choice for me, 64-42, you have the stem you might as well have the bars! Nitto made some good bars nice and shiny, so they could be an option for you? If you have difficulties finding those then you could contact Brick Lane Bikes or Condor Bikes they sell...

Good bike shop, i've never been there but i have made a few purchases over the phone and always had an excellent service. Lucky chap with that find, he might be telling a porky though? Lucky you california, every time i see that place on the telly it's sun, blue sky and lots of nice...

Outrageous! How lucky are you! The previous owner must of p***ed the wife off and gone through a nasty divorce for it to end up in a scrapyard! Take it to a local bike restorer it will be worth the investment or sell it to someone who will if you're not in to cycling! Wish something like that...

Good to know. Thank you.

Looking at the bike you would never guess it was an entry level frame such is the quality! Yes, i'm afraid the Gilco Technos/Master are very difficult to find now unless you would like to buy new from Colnago, you will need a cool £1700+ There's a guy in the forum who appears to be from...

Lovely looking Colnago you have there! The steel tubing from Colnago will be as good as it gets. My tubing is Gilco and the frame was bought in 97. I think i'm right in saying that the tubing you have may be an improvement on that? Either way the tubing will be high quality so don't get to hung...

Condor bikes in London. Always had a pleasent experience buying from them and i would recommend. If they don't have what you are looking for on their web site then they are worth a phone call and ask if they might have the component you are looking for in their warehouse! I got lucky when i...

I've mainly used white bar tape over the years and i put white electrical tape on first to secure the bar tape and then i put the bit of bar tape, from the maker, on top of that. Works every time and i've never had any probs.

Hi. keep a close check on the frame once a week or so. Look for obvious signs of stress, fatigue, and if you have concerns after a while take it to your local bike shop and get some professional advice. The wheels you seem to already have but i would suggest a traditional 36 spoke wheel...

Hi. I have a Colnago Master Olympic which is my pride and joy, please see pictures, and i am very close to purchasing a Royce titanium bottom bracket for it and i would just like any opinions on the Royce brand that you may have. It's a major investment as they are not cheap, so any good...
