Riding again Sorry yes been away. It's done, and initial photos are here: http://velospace.org/node/17174 Yes I used a bit of waxoyl where I could get it, and I've left a small drain hole in the cinelli bottom bracket (where the screw goes in to hold the cable guide). Downtube replaced...

Too late, if it goes again I might, but if it works, it'll be worth it for sure. The other tubes seemed ok internally. Seeing as though I'm not the lightest, it's either going to last a lifetime, or about a week.

That's more info than I had, thanks. Yes, I'm looking forward to it, I'll put the photos up here sometime in January. I think Argos are v busy due to the number of steel frames they are getting in for repair/painting. Chris

Anyone know anything about Nigel Dean road bikes? I don't know much to be honest. A friend has given me his 653 racing frame, which had some damage to the down tube (looks like corrosion may have weakened it), but the dura-ace fitted bike was used in competition a decade or more back...

I too love the simplicity of my XT thumbies, that are still working even though I slightly obsessively trimmed the clamp to about half it's width to lose err, about 10 grams a decade ago. Nutwit. Plus 8 speed is enough for me. There's also a bit of rose-tintedness about retro too...

'93 Plum coloured Orange Clockwork I think I paid £265 for the frame/forks and put mostly DX on it. Twas a truly great bike, and the skinny skinny forks absorbed so much noise. Shame I sold it to someone at work and see it most days, bah.... Tange infinity - ahhhh

Superb. Now I remember, my concorde(above) had it's drop outs replaced by them in about 1989!

- good to see an Overbury's - Are they still going? And continuing the Bristol theme: My Concorde mid/late eighties road bike, resprayed a few times now, and in its latest incarnation, the heaviest singlespeed know to man. A few choice bits of Dura-ace (levers and rear hub) a...

Here it is. Chris

Glad someone else remembers these! Sorry, can't help locate yours, but that green one^^^ reminds me of my Fuquay CMR with Gun-metal grey fade into racing green (top/bottom). It's been ages since I thought about my old Fuquay. Which was repainted by Argos in Bristol. They even made new...
