Unidentified silver-gray frame
- Thread starter gounthar
- Start date
Yesterday, I did a mock assembly with whatever I had on hand. The wheels will be removed, they will be up for sale soon. The brifters are there temporarily. The handlebars and seatpost as well.
Contrary to what I feared, despite the frame size, I won't need "long-reach" brakes
I rob Peter to pay Paul, and there, oops, I can't manage to remove Peter's crankset.
My Park Tool tool, which works very well on square taper interfaces, is ineffective...Apparently, its successor, the https://www.parktool.com/en-int/product/universal-crank-puller-for-square-taper-and-splined-cranks-cwp-7, should do the job.
And once that is disassembled, I will need to find the right tool to remove the bottom bracket, which I have never encountered before...

I measured with the digital caliper, but I found numbers that don't correspond to French or BSA
(except for the 68mm)The problem may be in the caliper itself, or in my head, who knows...I think it's in the BSA standard, but I don't have a bottom bracket in that standard available. So, I'm waiting for the next delivery to learn more.

For those who are curious, these wheels feature Dura-Ace 7700 hubs with 36 holes (HB 7700 + FH 7700) laced onto MAVIC Reflex rims, paired with Vittoria tubular tires.
Interestingly, the rims look different from what you can see in the picture. They have more of a black-greyish chrome appearance, rather than blue as it looks just below the text.
I already have a set of 7700 hubs on another bike, and I adore the subtle, low-level sound that the rear hub produces. However, this particular rear hub doesn't make any sound at all.
