Re: Hi Rod, are the cantis and hubs still available?

Hi all, I recently had my Claud Butler Holdsworthy bottom bracket replaced, after the bearings of this Campag BB collapsed. I have sourced a full set of replacement bearings for it (one original set survives, but are very pitted) as the surfaces and races are still usable (with a bit of...

Re: Thanks colnagolover - me too, but it's worth asking! The Vittoria's are favourite at the moment, not just for price, but they look like a nice classic shoe. Do you find their sole flexy for longer (50 mile +) rides? Is the sizing accurate? Are they narrow/wide?

Hi all, looking for a bit of help trying to find some sub-£100 traditional-looking cycling shoes, with 3-bolt Look cleat compatibility. Something along the lines of these: Quoc Pham, Vittoria Lorica 1976, Specialized 74, Dromarti, Hasus Ultra Classic, and at a push these Asics Keirins. [Edit...

Re: Hamster - do you have a pic of the bars and stem?

1970s or 1980s vintage, speed # not important. Must be in good mechanical order, and acceptable visually. Will pay to £40 ex postage. Cheers, Lee

Hi all - I'm trying to find a classic shaped road stem with a 1" quill, but with a 31.8mm clamp for oversized bars (I need ergo bars and OS is the only one I could find...) Something like this, with an OS clamp: I'm currently using a 1" quill to ahead adapter with a...

Sorry buddy they've gone. But I do like your images of Glasgow, inspires me to get out with the camera again...

Not my listing, but a nice pair of retro shoes! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 1190596822

Pair of mismatched 27" wheels £20 collected from Glasgow west end. Front: Sora/Wolber 32H 900g QR Rear: Miche/no name 36H 1500g solid axle 6-spd freewheel Both well used but not abused. Straight and tight spokes. Plenty left on rims. Bearings need attention, clean out and new balls would be...

As title, looking for a ~60mm road ahead stem with oversize bar clamp, pref in polished silver for a classic looking refurb. Pay up to £20. Thanks!

Hmm no I think I like riding on the hoods for road riding and fast touring!

Ah ok! Thanks. Yep, you pay for comfort, eh?

Cheers guys. I've never bought road levers before, do the clamp angles vary to enable fitting higher up the drops? Some of the cheaper/more basic ones I've found online look like the clamp is perpendicular to the lever blade.

I'm replacing the old deep drops on my vintage Claud Butler for something a bit more comfortable, maybe the Nitto Noodle. I'd also like to upgrade the levers too, to ones that sit higher on the drop curve. This is what I currently have: And this is the setup I'd like: Can anyone help me...

On the lookout for a pair of 27" x 1 1/4" (or maybe 700c at a push) wheels. Must have solid rear axle and solid/QR front. With or without freewheel, mid range quality (Mavic rims & DB spokes would be nice), smooth hubs, straight etc. To fit old road frame. Willing to pay up to £75 for the pair...

Thanks Nick, but Andy's sorted me out with that Campag post.

Thanks xenon. Would you part with it for £20 unpolished and posted the cheapest method?

Hi all, looking for a 26.8 layback aero post for my classic track build. Ideally polished silver with a micro-adjust clamp. Need not be too long, something like the traditional road posts. Cheers, Lee

Cheers Mike. The forks take ~45psi. I know SKS do a specific low pressure pump (up to ~150psi), as opposed to most other shock pumps that go up to ~400psi (these start at 50psi so really hard to get an accurate low pressure).
