Pretty... My size too... Two late 80s bikes is probably enough though, sadly.

Curious about what @Scilly.Suffolk makes of the gruppo... No clue what that RD is!

British thread with 70mm? Assumed all British would be 68! Slightly too long in any case.

Undibs the campag I'm afraid.

I don't suppose that the Miche is close to 109mm ISO 68mm?

Dibs the campagnolo bb, pending axle length?

I have the SP version, nice looking frameset IMO... And seems like a reasonable price. Glws.

More details of the components (or pics)?

Got one with a slightly funny angle silver 90s ish one that came with my Forum Concorde... (finally replaced that post @Vince !!) TBH, I'd keep an eye out for a fiver one off ebay, tho if you want it... Free from me, but perhaps give some beer money to the forum eh.

Looks like giros get the forum vote... Just need to pick up the wheels and put in the wiggle order! Cheers all.

+1 must not buy...

Lovely frame and that clamp on braze is kinda cute!

Thanks guys. Shame about the Corsas, they look great! Giros have the benefit of being super cheap, so I could always stock up... Will keep an eye on ebay too, thanks for heads up...

Hi all

Due to pick up a set of tubulars with the intention of running them on my commuting bike... Bold, but doable I figure. I have another pair of tubs on my nice and good conditions only bike with Vittoria Rally's, but I'm guessing that these wouldn't cut it for daily use in london...

So, what would people recommended? Must have tan sidewalls... For a quick search, Vittoria Corsa SC seem a good compromise, I did see that Schwalbe Milanos have been mentioned before, but seem discontinued.

Any advice welcome!

Just a shout out for Hilary, he did ok by me...

2nd dibs on the free rear mech, will PM.

Just had a quick check, the A119s are touring rims... A little too wide for me, sorry!

Just after I bought my roadracers...

What's the spoke count on the A119s? Thanks.

Poss interested in the wheels/tyres/freewheel. Can you post a few pics?

You might be right... I was attracted by not having to sell on ebay and keeping hold of them, but it seems it's the way forward... Might give them a go here first too.

@Skülly You'd think that... I never seem to find a set that works for me, but will keep an eye out.

It is indeed symmetric. 32h and reasonably high flange, if that helps.

It's a flip flop, looks ever so slightly dished to the freewheel side (ie it's ever so slightly more flat on that side).

Thanks!

Hi all

Bit of a long story... I picked up a set of wheels for my Concorde commuter off a forum'er, but have never been completely happy as 1) They were sold with a bump that I've never been able to fully remove and 2) I never liked the look of them anyway!

I'd all but resolved to find a new pair before realising that I have a decent-looking and reasonably robust Raleigh track wheelset waiting to be sold (http://www.koo-bikes.com/raleigh-700c-rear-wheel-track-hub-on-mach-1-omega-rim-white-16t-fixed-black-writing.html) that might, just might, be repurposed to a 6/7sp...

It's a 120mm axle, OLD of the frame is c. 124mm (assume it's a 126 that got squeezed at some point- previous owner did run it as a SS I believe) so I reckon this should fit? The crank is also a little more inboard than it should, so hopefully the chainline will be close enough.

But, before I ruin a perfectly-trued and saleable wheel, roughly what level of redishing does the forum reckon? c.2 turns tighten/1 turn loosen? Or more?

I've never quite gotten the hang of wheels, but feel free to tell me that it's as much as it takes (or that this is a crazy idea).

Thanks

Dibs the vittoria rally.. Pm coming.

If anyone has a 36/38 campag inner ring FS then let me know... Victory cranksets are beautiful IMO.

Mostly just an excuse to bump this lovely though!

Dibs on 5. - red rolls - pending pics...

As above. I'm after one of the tapered brake nuts, preferably for cheaper than the silly prices on ebay... Cheers!

** Now sourced, thanks **

Apparently not that cheap...

Drop to: £10 for frame & forks, seat post/seat, headset, stem/ bars plus whatever's left on it by time of sell.

Any interest? Looking at @walkmanman or could drop off with @mrgumby for a rebuild...

Pickup or can travel at weekend for beer/trade.

Forgot to say, thanks for the tyre & tool. Received safely!

Dibs shimano seat post and rolls... PM incoming.
