Does anyone know where I can find a new dropout? It seems the previous owner rode without one. Picture attached.

Hey folks, my beloved San Marco Regal Girardi is on the edge of giving up. I have used this one for ages now and for me, it's the best saddle ever. Unfortunately, there aren't a lot of these available. On the other hand, there are many "regular" Regals available. So my question is, what's the...

Also, brilliantly written article! Love it!

Re: I follow him on Instagram and i have to say, he just makes some of the most beautiful frames I have ever seen! I don't think anyone comes close to him at the moment! Not even Richard Sachs. As you said, his lugs alone are pure art, purely gorgeous. If i only had the money to afford a...

Hey guys, I have a question about the bottom bracket for a Campagnolo Avanti 8 speed crank. Which spindle length do I need? I understand that some Campagnolo cranks need 111mm and some 102mm. Also there seems to be a switch from JIS to ISO in '94? After everything I researched I am more...

Re: I will throw my hat in the ring aswell. First time, so be gentle :D 90s Nishiki road frame. Bit of a mystery to me, the only thing I know is that it was sold by one of the biggest retailer in Germany (Rose Bikes). Aero downtube, a "team" decal on it, steel frame with alloy fork. Plan...

Re: Photos from the Masi workshop in Milan Love all your photo threads! Stunning pictures!

Hey folks, a colleague of mine wants to sell his vintage Moser with Gian Robert System gearing. I never heard of this brand, is it any good? Any info would be appreciated! Simon

Regal (Girardi) for me, any day. Best saddle I've ever had. Comfy, not too heavy, elegant.

I suspect that livery was intended to make the opponents dizzy so they would fall of their bikes :D Good to know, I suspected it was a bit older than ~2002, but works for me. The frame was super cheap anyway

Does anybody has some information about the frame below? The seller told me that it was some kind of team replica, but I can't seem to find any information about a Specialized team with said livery. Seems to be a low-mid end CX or touring frame which I intend to build as a winter beater/CX bike.

Those Tiagra flat bar levers already mentioned can be used for both canti/road brakes and V-brakes. Prices are around 15€ here in Germany

Hey everyone, now that I solved my compatibility issues, I found out that the freehub body of my 6402 hub is beyond repair. Now I need a replacement, but I am unsure which body fit my hub. I read somewhere that nearly all Shimano 8-10 speed bodys fit on nearly all Shimano hubs, but before I...

I found a really simple solution to my problem: The Jtek Shiftmate 1. I will try it out and report after I used it a bit. Thanks for all the replys and kind advices!

Correct me if I'm wrong but in order to run a Shimano cassette with Campag spacing I would need 3.2mm spacers right? According to Sheldon Browns crib sheet that would give me the 5.0mm spacing I need. Is there a shop where they sell those? Otherwise I will have to make them myself..

Hey folks, I've been looking for a solution to my problem: I have a full 8-speed Campagnolo groupset which I want to use on a Nishiki frameset I just bought via eBay. The problem is that I only have wheelsets with Shimano hubs. As far as I know 8 speed Shimano and 8 speed Campagnolo don't have...

Re: Speaking for Germany, the trend amongst young people like myself definitely goes toward wearing a helmet. Living in a crowded city like Cologne as I do, you would not want to not wear a helmet. Bad bike lanes, crazy drivers (turning right at full speed without watching for cyclists), even...

Re: Wow, that looks great! Well done!

Re: So much money, such cheap tires..

Re: Well, it's not that expensive, so I might give it a shot. If it's not my size, I can still sell it. What groupset would be on one back in the days?
