    For Sale Raleigh Banana

    FOR SALE . Raleigh Banana. Paul Sherwen version. Not the flash 531 model. 25" frame (remember, we bought a larger size in those days). I have been though most of it and it is fine to ride with the exception of the brake blocks which are past their best. Front tyre is original! Hmmm. Steel rims...

    Wanted Campag brake lever QR stud thingy

    The stud that pushes through on a Campag brake lever to open the calipers out. Just one. The thing down and right of the pivot and touching the grey bit of plastic in this pic. http://velobase.com/ViewComponent.aspx?ID=8ea13221-2746-461a-87f1-bb7fb3b3d28d&Enum=118&AbsPos=32

    Looking for info LH SPECIAL GLOUCESTER

    Re: Wonder if it has anything to do with Halls who were down Eastgate street? I think its a night club or something now. On the left, past road to bus station and a few hundred yards down. Rarely venture to Glos now, its a long way from the Forest of Dean. :lol: Bought my first proper cycling...

    700C wheels in a 27" frame

    Re: I did just that. Used some Mafac centre pulls to get the deeper drop at the front. Fixed so no idea at the back.

    Pulling Wheels Out

    Re: Just take the bloody paint off. The QR does look a bit chewed up so you maybe losing something there as well but I have used worse.

    Two older disc wheels - questions.

    Agree with al you say about the HED. It does sound nice and at my TT level that's as important as an extra second or two. Running it with a 13-19 Regina Titall freewheel. Thanks

    Two older disc wheels - questions.

    One at a time. a)Been given a Sugino Tension Disc wheel. Built on a Mavic MA 40 rim and Shimano FH6402 -Ultegra hub. 32 hole so I think that this makes it a later one. The rim is untouched as is the plastic skin. There is a bit on here about these wheels but not a lot. Did anyone use them on...

    How important is a full groupset, to you?

    Frame numbers

    Any clues as to where I might find a frame number (if there is one)? Not under the BB, paint removed and not any where near the seat tube cluster. Frame is a steel road bike. I reckon 1990's, with vertical rear drop outs, an inch head set, braze on front mech lug. Frame plus head set but no...

    8 speed shifter compatibility with vintage dura ace

    Re: My 9 speed levers most certainly didn't work with 8 speed Dura Ace. Shame as it would have made a nice set up on my TT bike.

    Any bright ideas about this one? No number under BB. Removed to bare metal to check. Not original paint. Frame + steel headset cups weighs 1.8kg. 27.5 mm seat post. Tidy and light chromed forks.

    Frame pump advice

    "Don't even bother, most frame pumps won't get you enough air pressure to do anything other than limp home. Get a couple of C02 cartridges and be done with it." Stuff and nonsense as my mum would say. A decent frame fit pump is enough to bang tyres up to well over 100psi. How did most of use...
