Thanks, more really helpful advice. I'm sorted! :D

Really helpful stuff, thanks a million. I've now found the Shimano PDF spec sheet for the chainset and it recommends a 110 or 113 mm BB width.

Re: Re: Thanks, that's helpful. I'd guessed the BB is Micro Drive as there was a MD front shifter on the frame, but it could be non-MD. I measured with the calipers at 123.0 but I could have been out. I know Orange offered MD on the Aluminium back in the day.

I'm sure there are gurus out there who can help with this one. I'm building up an Aluminium Elite frame, 1992. The bottom bracket seems in good condition but it's Suntour Microdrive. I've measured it at 23mm wide but from what I've read the Shimano spec for this frame is 68 x 118mm for a square...

Re: Thanks. Not quite what I had in mind though.

Re: If anyone can suggest a non-Orange alternative stem that would be good, too.

Hi all, I'm looking for an Orange Ali Stalk quill stem for my 1992 Orange Aluminium Elite with 1.25" fork steerer. Silver, 120-135 mm, ish. Anything out there? Thanks in advance for any replies. Cheers, Dave

STIs are now sold. Wheels still available and will sell separately: £15 for the Carrera front and £10 for the Rigida rear, plus P&P in each case. For what its worth, I believe the Carrera RX front wheel was originally fitted to a Carrera TDF road bike.

OK, interlude over. I have clarified that Peter isn't buying. All items are still available.

Re: sti,s and wheels Hi, Collection from Cardiff would be fine. If you want the STIs and the wheels also, then I assume you mean £25 + £25 = £50. I'll drop you an email. Cheers, Dave

** STIs now sold, Wheels still available ** Pair of 2x7 speed Sora STIs, plus a front (Carrera RX) and rear (Rigida Nova) wheel for sale. The wheels could be used as a pair but, as you will see, they aren't exactly a good match (although they were on the same bike when I bought it!) All...

I received the frame on Saturday but didn't get a chance to open it up until today. Its in great condition, and I'm really chuffed with it. Thanks for packing it so well - much appreciated.

Hi, thanks for your message - I have sent you a PM. Cheers, Dave

As the title suggests, I'm looking for a Gazelle Champion Mondial frame & forks, very large flavour, i.e. 65-66cm seat tube. Thanks in advance for all responses.

Looks good. New 2nd dibs! PM sent. Cheers, Dave

Yes, I kept the speed down on the original rubber .... and avoided any downhills. The earlier bikes with the gold trimmings looked a lot nicer. By the time mine was made I get the feeling that Raleigh was trying too hard to cut costs and quality had gone out of the window (on the low end...

I just picked up this Raleigh Record Sprint as an eBay purchase from a local seller. It had sat in a garage unused for years. It looks OK from a distance but it is fairly ropey up close. I think its from around 1991, or at least it looks very similar to one from a catalogue of that year. 25"...

Really great colour scheme, always looks good. Thats a very nice bike.
