I've got a Dura Ace rear mech but it is not going on a Colnago!

Fast cars and cheap women

That's a vice isn't it?

I've got some Record C Pista cranks in 165mm, the going rate seems to be around £200

How about this?

Just run an 1/8th chain on 3/32nd ring and sprocket and that will absorb any excess chainline*

*within reason

£100 posted and I'll have a rumage in the spares kit and see if I've got some 160 rotors I'll chuck in too

I'll have a check, what budget?

Ooooooh, I've got a NJS tie.............. I think it may be going up for sale, got it when I won the Tokyo GP

The wheels have been used twice, rotors should come with the brakes and the norm would be 180mm front and 160mm rear. They are normal QR so no faffing with bolt through.

What forks have you got? and what frame?

I changed them because I went to tubeless

This is the only photo I could find of the bike and rider.

He was emailed yesterday so hopefully he'll respond and set the record straight.

Leicester Track Nationals about 87 or 88, that's Doug Dailly the national coach next to him, possibly Dave Spence or Rob Muizio. It's more likely to be a Cougar than a Merckx

I've got a set off a Spesh Epic with tyres and tubes £100, I'm in Edinburgh Also got a set of SRAM X9 thumb shifters

We've had this discussion before, but never got to the bottom of it.

But it was owned by a British Track TT member so it's certainly a great bike.

And he said it was a Merckx.

Any idea of the rider, chances are I'll know them and be able to give a better idea of the frame. The choices that spring to mind are Raleigh, Waugh or Soens. But most builders would use Campag drop outs and most of the big names would build with lugs and would have engraving on the seat stay/forks. Back in those days a squad rider would be given frame tubes and get a frame built for them. Also most Lo Pros from back then would either be a 24" or 26" front wheel.

So do you know that it's definitely a merckx now?

I don't think it's a Merckx, the drop outs are wrong and the seat pin cluster isn't right. It looks more like a Raleigh.

Have a look here..........

Odd, it seems I was screwing the wrong way...started turning anticlockwise and it went straight in.

And you wrote that on here??? ;-) Numpty

It's not even 531. I would say closer to £50.

That's because it's columbus SL or SLX

I'll give you 950 for one of these ^^

Send me the cash and one can be yours, I've got a few left in garage.

im running 172.5mm cranks and 700x23c. i think i can go 72" on the flat, cos i can get up just about all the hills in hastings on 59"

Get yourself some 165 cranks, that will improve your cadence. I can hold 197rpm on 42x18 for about 2miles, it works out about 38mph on the flat.

Do lots of short fast efforts either on rollers or downhill sprints about 150-200m

What sort of budget?

Skids are for kids

Don't think so, these wouldn't fit in an adjustable cup that needs a pin spanner to work with.

See:

The Park site usefully says: "The opposite end has two ears that are 23mm wide and approximately 5mm wide." No info on what it's for tho.

Anyone?

Bottle opener?

road and need 102mm axle. for italian thread

Let me have a look, I've got a square taper BB off a Pinarello but I'll need to check the length of the axle

Road or Track BB? What length axle?

I saw Dances with Smurfs in 3D and enjoyed it but only from an effects PoV.
