minor point re the FD- DA 7700 was 9 speed, 7800/7900 was 10 speed ..... I think.

To be fair, I have loads of patches, it's the solution that's always dried out or full of air, which is the main reason I buy a repair kit

Over bracket guides suggest something late 70s/early 80s before the days of 531ST or 531C, when it was just 531DB or 531plain gauge. It it takes a 27.2mm seatpin it will be 531DB (probably)

Poundland are the cheapest for puncture repair kits and sell inner tubes for 24 & 26 inch MTB

Do you honestly think cheating didn't happen in those years. Even in the earliest of 20th century years TdF riders were catching trains to get one over on competitors

I wasn't aware that epo was around that early. It's no surprise as Theunisse (sp?) was convicted and the finger was pointed at Rooks

Only had 5 years to check that 😉

Ishiwata 015 tubing was light

The 79 Sebring I had, had lugs all round except the bottom bracket was lugless and just brazed in place. It was here eventually that the weld failed with a big tear between the seat tube and BB shell. Even though viscount claimed a 10 year warranty, I didn't follow it through because by this...

Did the Superbike later evolve into the Aerospace series?

Can't see a bike

Any good? Nothing to do with me ... https://forum.cyclinguk.org/viewtopic.php?t=163312

Nice scenery in the sun. Better than this dreary low cloud that's been hanging for a bit

Unhook the straddle cable from the hooked caliper to get the wheel out
