yeah, more or less. Had to add a bit of silver to get it roughly the same shade. v pleased with the result though. It's also got vertical drop-outs now which I prefer. Rides really nicely, just getting used to the extra noises you get with gears campared to fixed...

How long did you have the frame? Do you know the age of it?

ph1- ill look at the stem issue. Perhaps a 80mm might be better...

yeah it's a bit of a mongrel now!..

sammy- yeah Lee did the respray (and some repairs) to it and offered to put his new logo on it for me. I don't mind advertising for genuinely nice blokes who are v good at what they do!

Its mainly campagnolo Mirage (2003) and veloce cranks. Have older single pivot brakes which need new pads- not much stopping power atm!

dmczone- not sure, I got it from retro di corsa last year. I bent a drop-out hence the current re-build. When did you last have yours?

each to their own I guess- I quite like the rawness to it....

Open pro rims/ambrosio hubs. Should equal about £200 when built

guess you will remove the inner ring anyway.. 111 should be ok.

Just finished a Roberts steel frame for a fine weather summer bike-Could be a while until I use it...

and an arty fart one:

for ss? not sure about the chainline measurements but I would think 103 would be cutting it fine. On my mirage double on a 111 there is about a cm of axle showing...

what gearing you going to run^?

oh right, like these:

The more boxy ones are 20.3mm wide as opposed to 19. Think the 19s are taller for more strength with the narrower rim.

nice. Recon those ones in the catalougue are newer or older than these ones?:

Velo Orange front rack and rims (front and back), was needed to replace the tubular rims it came with originally, the drivetrain is perfectly indexed to the point that I don't feel the need to upgrade the SImplex drivetrain to a Shimano or Campag one.

next thing to do - chrome VO mudguard hopefully, right now I'm on the fence about putting moustache bar on it or leave it.

...leave it. Looks sweet. What rims?

I just wondered what people think of the campagnolo Omega/Sigma low profile rims and how they compare to say a Mavic ma40 of the same era. I don't seem to be able to find much opinion about the campagnolo rims...

Cheers,

Hi dave, cheers but I really need 2 36h ones.

Yeah Ill probably use campyoldy...

Also interested in any Mavic MA40 or similar older mavic rims 36h. Ideally v good condition.

Cheers

Hi,

I'm after some Campagnolo clincher rims ideally around Victory crono kind of age/looks and 36 hole.

Cheers!

Selling pair of black Ambrosio Evolution wheels with the great Ambrosio zenith hubs (also black- Campag compatible 9/10). 32h, totally true and have done only around 300miles before I took them off my bike at the end of last summer. They were built up just before last summer. Great training wheels.

They will also come with decent black campag metal skewers (£35 each) which replace the ambrosio plastic ones.

Looking for £120 for the lot..

Will add photos soon

Cheers,
Tim

Hi

I'm after a cheap but usable town/hybrid style bike with either 3spd S/A style gears or traditional mech gears. Idealy would have basket and rear rack.

Looking to spend ideally around £70

Cheers,
Tim

It's an Avanti frame

bought some of these and they fit my campag callipers: http://www.allterraincycles.co.uk/product/107098.html

If Carsberg made wheel rims they'd probably be [strike]the best fucking wheel rims in the world[/strike] Mavic open pros

52x18(78") ss for shorter rides
50x18(75") ss for longer rides
52x20(70") fixed for longer hillier rides (still not that long mind)

what gearing is that boon? Plus where abouts outside stockholm are you?- just wondered as I was running a fixed out in sodertalje for a while!

These http://www.noahsark.co.uk/specialized-rim-tape-p-3135.html work well for me. All one piece which stretch over the rim.

guess those would fit. I need some also for some 2003 veloce callipers. I bought some of these kool stop ones(after lbs said they would fit): http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/KOOL-STOP-DURA-ACE-HOLDERS-PADS-2-PADS-INCLUDED_W0QQitemZ330370029075QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_sportsleisure_cycling_bikeparts_SR?hash=item4ceb969613

which didn't fit... (the nut has a threaded sleve coming out of it which is too big for the calliper hole).

Hi,

After some 3ttt 26mm classic style drop bars. 42-44mm width ideally. Something like the Tdf style drop.

Cheers,
Tim
