Re: The M-Part Elite comes with 26.4mm and 27.0mm crown races. There's another cheapy that I've forgotten the name of that's 27.0mm. The Dia Compe is 26.4mm crown race. Watch out for the frame being 30.0mm, shoving a 30.2mm headset cup in an alu or light steel frame will result in a crack. If...

Whatever you do - don't lace up just the non-drive side to a rim and try to screw the freewheel off as normal. You'll rip the hub in half. Been there, done that..... I could do with some spares for these hubs tho, PM sent

Got a 12t 26x1 Campagnolo lockring, £2 posted

It's definitely alu frame, steel forks :xmas-big-grin: I've got nothing against stripping it if anyone's after the bits - the alu frame is not going to be as big a draw now as it was bitd. I'll give it a week or so before I strip it, I'll let you know if I do Coomber

Hi there, I've got a shed find 1989 Diamondback Arrival. It's too nice to turn into a commuter hack so I thought I'd offer it up here.

I think that's an Overbury. I had a very similar fillet-brazed Overbury with SA drum brakes. Mine had 3 sets of water bottle braze-ons. No pics at the moment, I gave it to a friend who rebuilt it with 90s Shimano stuff. He loves it :D

Seems that some of the pictures aren't working, here's a link to a gallery with all the pics of stuff I'm selling at the moment. http://postimg.org/gallery/11q922fq/212 ... e=212c1e10

I've got some more new Maillard freewheel removers for sale. The one on the right :). Here's a picture of the sort of freewheel they're for. 24 teeth, approx 30mm across EDIT - sadly I'm going to have to up the price on these. A jiffy bag with the freewheel remover in it does not fit through...

You could also use a normal set of calipers and a two bits of metal of known thickness (2.0mm spokes say) to put the edge you're measuring outside the edge of the rim. Sorry if that's unclear!

Or colour them in with a gold pen :D

Bolts are best specified by outside diameter of thread x thread pitch. Thread pitch for metric bolts is how many mm between threads. So M6x1.25 is 6mm outer diameter with 1.25mm between the threads. Thread pitch is possible to measure by counting the threads in say, 25mm of bolt then dividing...

I've got 2 sets, will send pics in the AM

I drive a hearse and always wave at the other hearse drivers. Not had a single wave back yet :evil:

I have a nice retro mtb wheel for sale, it's an 'Ambrosio The Frog' rim laced onto a Deore XT hub (HB-M750). Bearings are silky smooth and the wheel is true. Would also be good on a touring set up. I'm looking for £35 posted EDIT Comes with correct XT QR

I've still got the Rob Telfer in this thread http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=155803 160 posted? PS, love your Alves!!

Ergos are not C-record either, C-record ones don't have diagonal grooves on the lever. That makes them 1993 record, chorus or athena, I think. Bloody campag and their lack of identifying marks!
