Yes, it says that even pushing a broken down Ferrari is an event that you'll remember forever.

Ha ha ha.. my mate got a Ferrari. Everyone was green with envy untill the engine went bang and it cost him £8000 to fix... he's frequently seen about town now in his Mrs's Yaris.

i like the hooter...

campag wears in, shimano wears out ! nuff said.

Well at least you'll get you moneys worth from Shimano, i've just replaced some DA 7402 hubs that started their life in the 80's... and all the Campag stuff that i had from that era has long gone, all except some C Record hubs that last year i recycled back onto my fixed bike.

It's not that Campag products are all shit but i have had some disappointing experiencies with Campag. (the main one being a mate of mine stripped the thread off my Ghibli Track Disc at the nationals with an ill fitting Campag sprocket), but none (yet) with Shimano or SunTour.

Yeah.. i'm still using some Wolber TX Profiles, as good as the day i got them 19 years ago!!!
infact they're on the Kalavinka i took to Calshot.

Campagnolo as well as Shimano had their good and their bad things.
With the Triomphe and Victory series, Campagnolo did certainly not have the best series.
When the indexed shifting, internal brake cables, brifter, clipless pedals products started, Campagnolo was far behind.
On the other hand, first years D/A and Ultegra STI's were a nightmare, too.
First 2 types road SPD's were no success (although SPD-R was and is popular for trackies).
In the old days, Campag was simply better. Material, finish, function. The last decades, it's going up and down.

Do you recall campags SGR pedals, pneumatic saddle and aero thermal bottles ?
i think the best campag item i have is the Big Corkscrew.

I've got a record aero and its lovely, i only take it out of the box to look at it i can't bring myself to use it

I'm using some old threaded Corsa Record 28h hubs on my fixed bike... however they're not as shiney as they used to be.

I have always thought that the Shimano Aero levers were better than campag. they are a better more comfy shape and lighter, also the rubber hoods on the campag. seemed a sloppy fit unlike Shimano.

For sale...in Chicago...

This is classy except for all the spacers in the headset... imo.

hopefully condor

Fantastic.. good luck.

When you get the job can you please find out where my Paris T. de F. has gone that i ordered in 2008 !!

Looks like another day of snow in Hemel... we need SPD Wellies !

Knobbly knees !!!

OMFG. WANT.
My life needs this.

could do with more vert on the container side just to even things up, after using the roof to drop in. !

I think it all comes down to how valuable it is...

As i've got a 1949 Hobbs of Barbican with all the period clobber on it even bar tape. The more i read about them i decided that to keep it original with the 40's paint and chrome even though it is shabby. A mate said that if you do paint it therest of the parts wouldn't look right, i think he's right and its staying original.

I've got a '78 531 Claud Butler in about that size.. just begging to become a fixie, it has all period stuff on it to.

oh, forgot to say i'm looking at 200 ish.

B.

I have a complete '78 Claud Butler thats about 58cm... it's just been refurbed with NOS suntour stuff yours for £200 , could have the flat bars aswell.

Ha you got me!

I am basically trying to achieve a ratio that will allow me to build leg strength on my rollers with resistance. The resistance on these are not as strong as that on a turbo so I am looking to get a GI of at least 110. Would like to go even higher but for that I would need to buy a new chain ring and I aint doing that

use big tyres that'll bump up the resistance.. and run 'em on the min. reccomended pressure too !

is it really worth having downtube shifters just because its lighter? i think not

...and they're almost in the middle of the down tube.

That's a KMC Koolchain, and it's upsidown.

Upsidedown or Insideout ??

lol.

that's the same bloke i'm talking about - he brought that bike over to Condor a while ago.

Yes that was me, i took the prototype i have on loan into Condor for them to check it out.. its also the only bike ive had where people stop me and ask about it.

The Condor one is a later model to the one i have and is lighter and stiffer.
It's not NJS approved though even though it came from Kalavinka, only the lugged steel frames can obtain that status.

crofty.

if this was actual porn, it would fall under 'special interest - handicapped porn'.

Deffo 'Special needs porn' that one...

So fast my Avocet computer went blank, that was coming down a mountain in Spain and i was scared.. but not as scared as i was getting speed wobble in Harrows Pool on my FibreFlex !

Sounds like we all need fixed wheel trikes... for stability and a bit of drifting.
DK.

It's not, just flick them over to the LFGSS CDN.

Note in pic 22 that the bike has been assembled by a moron, there should be a couple of lengths of cable housing there to stop the cables from cutting through the BB shell

Quite right, looks a bit too greasy in there too....

Snow... just what i've been waiting for.

Have just been out on my grubby mountain bike... now its clean !
