Hi I have a Raleigh Banana frame and fork, think its 56cm happy to give away or a small donation to the site you choose, will need to collect from E8.......

Sorry guys but you got to have more and better reasons for posting a photo, its not just a photo your posting your actually accusing someone of theft, I totally understand Bad's reply and anger shown, I live in London and didn't have bike for 10 years and have pushed my girlfriend's shopper many times so this image could easily have been me....think you missed the point Tangina you don't have to" shut up"(your words) just explain your reasons otherwise your action is offensive to some of us.....

will take the itm bars

Hi S.Suffolk, I fitted the crank on the 115mm BB and there is 5.5mm gap between the inner chainring and the rear stay so as you suggested a 111mm will fit, I do know how freehubs and freewheels differ and like you I was always under the impression that a 126mm would be a freewheel and not a freehub untill I began work on this bike, the original rear wheel is fitted with a freehub, Cinelli did as you say make frames and they also did use 531 tubing, I knew the person this bike was made for in the late 80's but I'm not sure if it was specially made for him or if it was one of their existing frames, I do remember him having lots of measuring done at the time, the frame has now been resprayed so the 531 decals have been lost in this process, I will upload some pic's one before the respray were you can just about see the 531 decal, everthing you have said has been appreciated and helpful and I hope the pic's give some kind of light, ps the exspanding I've tried has worked for me before but this time has do nothing...

Its a Reynolds 531 tubing with the Cenelli stamp on the BB shell, we had 2 back wheels both mirage hubs 126mm/130mm unfortunely the 126 hub was too damanged to use, I've put a threaded bar with nuts and washers in the rear dropouts to try and exspand it to 130mm in order to use the 130mm wheel, I was hoping to reuse the axle from the 126 hub but its completly seized,

Its a Cenelli frame 531, OLD is 126mm

The frame I'm working on was originally set up for touring and I'm wondering if this changes how the rear of the frame is designed but maybe not, not seen the BB once fitted is exactly my thinking too, this bike is for my friend and as I'm showing him how things are fitted and replaced, he will get more practise the more removal and fitting we need to do , when measuring this chainline am I correct in thinking its the largest chainring to the smallest cog... cheers

Hi and thanks S.Suffolk, I've managed to borrow a mirage BB 115mm from my friends other frame to use as a reference and will fit the crank today and this looks closer than expected, will definitely find out once I tighen up the cranks, will be great if this works as the rest of the groupset is mirage...
I have looked at the Tifosi BB's before but never used one have you used these before and would you recommend cheers.
