Just joined having watched for a couple of weeks.
Retro biker due to a 13 year period of gradually getting lazier but just started back riding and really enjoying it. Used to race some MTB but mainly Cyclocross in South Wales plus do Triathlons and local TTs.
Have a '94 Marin Eldridge Grade in fairly original spec (apart from a San Marco Rolls saddle) thats now pretty worn from a transmission point of view (has original LX groupset) and needs overhauling. Frame also well surface scratched but never heavily crashed. Because I used to race it Im quite attached to it and dont see the need for suspension forks! Have 2 sets of wheels, LX hubs with Mavic 231s and older (91/92) XT hubs with 231s.
Also have awhat I believe to be an '86 or '87 PZ Peugeot 753R frame built up with Shimano 105 groupset and some Ultegra bits. Its not been used for a long time so ideally needs a clean and checkover. I cant find it in any of the catalogues online, its got the same colour scheme as a 531 framed PX10 at www velospace org/node/2677 but its got 753 stickers, hand brazed stickers, the original paper sticker with PZSHBWGB and 6115662 60 on that and B7108669 stamped under the BB. Its also got the Peugeot Lion stamped into the fork crown as Ive seen on similar era 753 forks.
Also have my Dads 94 or 95 Marin Bear Valley SE in original but used spec and an old Marsh cyclocross frame in 531 that Id love to build back up at some point now Ive got the Retro bug.
As a starter, I need replacement middle and outer chainrings for the Hyperdrive chainset (think theyre 42-34-24). What PCD would these be? Also need new chain, HG70 11-28 7 speed block and LX derailler. Anyone know the model number for the LX? Dont mind upgrading to an XT one..
