I’ve got a colnago Maxim frameset and a Cannondale Franck Roman bike in large the rest are medium frames. But like Rodolfo I’m in Berlin

I’ve got a couple of old mtb frames if you need one, can’t seem to send a message but if you need one let me know lad

I haven’t heard of anyone doing it. Personally I’d give it a go but I’d also use a braided hose for extra durability, perhaps slip one of those jagwire rubber hose protectors over so it gives a little more protection right where it would hit the headtube inside

Do you still have the plastic cable guides that snapped off? If so you could find some plastic expanding rivets to clip them back in (that’s what Cannondale originally used). They use them on car’s mostly to hold in interior trim etc. Also if you know anyone who could 3D print there’s a few plans online of the original plastic cable guides (look for Cannondale A113 cable guides).

Not sure he was showing it to us as we’d been chatting a fair bit about iwc the last couple of days, the lad whose it is bought it in the 90’s and was explaining the story of the company and now they use a different movement but that this one had an iwc movement.

Never seen a Sjoo Sandstrom before lovely little watch 36mm with a iwc movement in the early ones.

My mate bought this the other day to celebrate his 61st b’day and finally being in the black since lockdown. Was surprised how big this IWC mark xx was, but overall a really nice watch for the money.

Specialized use Brose motors (they build all kinda motors for cars etc), the motors are good but the warranties from Specialized are very hard to deal with, got 2 levo hardtails I’ve been working on and they both have had problems, the motor is the only thing that has been good

They specialize in business to business and business to consumer selling, also with their own warehouse packing system.

Saw some nice older Rolex’s yesterday sorted out a deal on the milgauss and the day date for a couple of friends

Been riding this Sawyer today, fits nicely but heavy, thinking of switching forks and possibly getting it repainted.

It’s called a dmr disc adapter but they stopped making them a decade ago. I think there’s a possibility to find a fixed sprocket that would fit, if you look at the new Surly flip flop hub the threads and size look pretty close

Love those late 90’s early 00’s tandems, they pop up decently priced nowadays.
Switched tires from 1.5 to 2.1 on my Franck Cannondale and bled the brakes for the first time in a few years, rides a lot smoother steering wise but sadly still an inch or so too small

Spinergy Spox wheelset

Yep looks like it’s for a specific DMR disc adapter. Has the same 2 different threads underneath

For decals Gil from retrodecals is the goto guy

Perhaps that’s for a disc brake adapter. I think I have that same hub with the adapter on I’ll have a look and report back.

That ti one is something special, would love to own one

I don’t know about wireless dongles but we switched to an Orbi system (it’s got a SIM card in it) at the beginning of lockdown, it has to be plugged into an electrical socket (I have an adapter that plugs into a car if I’m on the road). It’s pretty big but the speed is amazing all over Germany and we can run a lot of devices without any lag, it costs about 1€ a day, we cancelled our internet at home and only use this now

Thanks, I was thinking that the bolt lit up yellow too but it’s been a couple of years since I charged it. I reckon the charger is broken as no power seems to be coming through. The pins etc look ok. Problem is now trying to find a version 1 eps charger, seems impossible. Worst case scenario I think is upgrade the battery, charger and little brain thing under the stem to version 3 or 4.

Does anyone have a campy eps system? I’m trying to figure out if the charger is broken or the battery. When I plug in the charger I get no lights at all. I thought one turned green or yellow when plugged into the mains?

Nice work, looking great. And nice meeting/getting drunk with you Clas

I’m in Berlin, first time doing it in Germany so a few hurdles that I didn’t expect. It’s not scruffy as such, we just didn’t want a pile of earth with nothing there for the time you have to wait until the ground is firm.

My local cemetery is doing my head in, just found out if we want to bring our own headstone we need to apply for a permit for the price of 600€. Last week a got a letter telling us to remove the stones we placed around the grave, we’d been collecting them from the countryside, the grave is fresh so these were only used until we can put in the headstone (4-6weeks more) and to stop the earth washing away (we planted a few flowers until the headstone goes in). For this I’ve been charged 500€ for removal and replacement with a plastic border. At a time when folk are at a low point they really seem to put the boot in. That’s my rant is what it is

Sorry for not replying earlier been a busy few days. He bought it for 6000€ then installed the correct cranks and bars for that year. With FES bikes the B means it’s for track, 95 the year 1995, 2 is the generation so 2nd generation of the bike and 1 is the size small. The lad is crazy for FES and ddr or Italian track bikes has a huge collection
