thanks peter, I'm after something a bit more 80's than that, but otherwise perfect!
Anyone else??

Yeah I'd up for this too.

Yeah, it's a metallic purple and pink two tone vibe. Not that bad really - and I'm already a little over the budget, so a respray is definitely off the cards.

What model are they?

Thanks Hugo... couldn't get Sheldon's glossary to load, but after a bit of other research, it seems they should be fine as long as the logos on the chainrings line up.

In the meantime, the frame is now lying upside down with a pint of super strength caustic soda solution fizzing loudly inside her:

Everything else is ready to go now, so as soon as the seat post is out, I can start building her up again.

Hi all,

As the title suggests, I'm looking for a touring bike, or just the frame, with the following spec:

• steel
  
• size 54 cm (roughly 21.5")
  
• clearances for 32mm tyres
  
• 700c
  
• mudguard eyelets
  
• rack eyelets
  
• preferably cantilever braze-ons
  
  

paint condition / colour unimportant, but no dents / dings please.
Let's see what you've got, you never know.

Thanks in advance

Just finished polishing the groupset - surprisingly easy, and didn't use any special tools. 400 grit sandpaper, then 1000, then 1500, then polish and rag.

I'm pleased, but it would've been better to take before and after photos.
Here's the after photo anyway:

I know that Look Mum No Hands! has a TA crank puller in their workshop.
I don't know for sure if that's the same as the Stronglight one, but I think it might be? Maybe give them a call and ask.

One question though... there are little holes and raised bits on the chainrings:

What are they for? Do they need to line up with anything, etc.. or do I just put them on however?

Right, more stuff has arrived. Think I'm pretty much there in term of parts now. Just one or two glitches to sort out, then I can start putting it all back together again; the seat post is still stuck (but i got the BB out, so I can start on the chemicals today), also a bit of polishing.

Hi Jim, still waiting on Carradice info... cheers, g

Sold

the original pads? they had very rusty attachment bolts, which looked ugly... also wanted to make sure it was easy to get replacements..

Yeah it's the original wheelset, still has the M Steel stickers.

Went to Clerkenwell Screws yesterday, and picked up a whole load of different bits n bobs, most of which seem to do the job quite well; only one or two for the mechs that are totally Shimano specific.

I'm having trouble with the deore brakes, it seems difficult to find threaded V / canti pads that are fat enough to reach the rims. After a bit of research, I've ordered some KoolStop Eagle 2's, as they look beefy, and have threading all the way down, making it easy enough to space them correctly. Finger's crossed.

I've also been watching youtube videos about how to polish aluminum, so might give that a go on the cranks.

I'm after some Joe Waugh decals in white with black outlines.
Dave Yates only has solid black and solid red left.
Neither H Lloyd nor Wanit have them...

Any Ideas?
How easy is it to make reproductions?

Or you can get me on the email.

I'll do that now
