I'd keep an eye on eBay.de and eBay.be. The UK is quite expensive for Italian bikes and Merckx.

someone know god place to found 1 cheap ?

Read again; man's clearly looking for a church.

Also note that Shimano and Campag 7-speed blocks have the same 5mm sprocket spacing.

Campag 7 and 8-speed block spacing is the same, so you can use 8-speed Ergos with a 7-speed block with no problems.

Print out a (preferably) A3 exploded diagram from the Campagnolo website.

There are also PDF guides on servicing.

Once you understand the principle of operation (it's essentially just a barrel which is ratcheted which you push back and forth), then it's not too difficult.

I stripped mine in degreaser and then used Weldtite Teflon grease, particularly around the G-springs.

Bump before I buy one!

this is what it looks like http://www.petracycles.co.uk/product_info.php?language=en&currency=GBP&products_id=11586&source=googlepbs

That's the guy. Should have linked to that image myself, thanks.

Sorry, off topic but please take a look at the post for my stolen lo pro, really want to find this bike!

Can you post a pic? The Flickr page seems to not allow me permission. Also, I guess this should be in the stolen bikes thread.

It's all about 1:54.

'Fraid so... :]

What I really want is one of these, just a pipe dream unfortunately...

Get an Electrical.

Hi,

Any chance I could borrow one of these from someone? It's the one that's similar to a Shimano but has more splines I think.

Based East, but work West, so can meet anywhere betwee the two.

Cheers,

Roddy

1. Readview - Sold me a nice frame. Posted next day. Friendly too. Thanks.
   

Stunning Gazelle Lo-Pro with Campag SR all over.

Gat dayum.

Someone buy this bike. It's a great bike which I've also seen in the flesh (I'm too big), but it looks the tits (it's almost like new), and will look the business with some fresh bar tape.

The non-indexed only C-record models were good (the later indexed ones have a crude friction mode). Simplex retrofriction might be the best I've used though. Shimano are all good, but might not look the part on an Italian bike.

Dibs Dancelli; PM on its way.

Roddy

I think I'd maybe take later bar-end shifters. The early Campag indexed d/t shifters were crapola.

Any chance you could PM me your email address?

I have a friend who is interested.

Cheers,

Roddy

Someone needs to buy this Lo-Pro for the lulz:

If anyone I know here, or who lives near Hackney Road is picking up, please let me know as I could do with a few of these bits, but will be in Barcelona on Saturday.

It's a bike, and it's not £200, but it's a Merckx in your size and they ship worldwide:

Are the cable clips guides, or cable stops, ie. for stopping the end of a bit of cable housing?

I'll call the shop and see what they say. It is now partially my fault...I should have told them that the spider was bent, not the chainring.

It's their job to diagnose the fault ona faulty bike which they have sold you. Get them to sort this out. Be firm with them.

Also, the bolts and bits and pieces are quite small so try not to drop them down the sink.....

I usually disassemble into a glass bowl, then add degreaser, followed later by a kettle of booiling water to remove any stubborn grease.

I then pack the jockey wheels with Weldtite teflon grease. The better jockey wheels have bearing races and are adjustable. Remember to get them the right way around if there are specific upper and lower wheels.
