If you split I'd be interested in the chainset, depending on price/arm's length.

Good price here.

No no, I meant, they do look like they'll kill you.

Yes, they do. I've got a pair and have done L'Eroica and more on them and I'm still alive though :)

Stamp looks very similar to Accles and Pollock tubing, which was Reynolds 531 equivalent.
Can't make the script letters in the middle.
B is the grade of steel, but that's just for the steerer, not necessarily the forks or frame.

Yes they do. This one.

Needed as per title in good condition.
Thanks

That looks great. Both of them.
May I say that the front mudguard should be attached behind the fork crown. It will be a better fit as the flat bit will rest at the bottom of the crown between the blades. It will be a more rigid setup and won't flap about much on rough terrain. Then you could carefully bend the plate so the guard follows the curvature of the tyre.
Also front catcher is not catching at the moment.

Bump.
Would also consider Ultegra 6600 (silver version)

Hi,

Looking for a Shimano 105 RD-5600 long cage rear mech in good condition.

Also a matching FD-5600 band on front mech (31.8mm).

Thanks for looking.

That's a sweet build!
How does it ride?

Nice project.

Are the flanges going to be made out of steel then?
May I just say (and this is without knowing anything about engineering/material stress/etc) that the flanges do not seem beefy enough. Like the cutouts are too big and might need more material between spoke holes.
Aesthetically I prefer round flanges, but that is just me.
Looking forward to the final result.

Yes, I had the same problem.

I've lined the inside of the clamp with electrical tape to stop the metal from scraping the paint in the process.
I then used a longer bolt to slowly bring the 2 halves of the clamp together and once in place, I've replaced it with the original one.

Filing could be an option.
You just need to get rid of the sharp corner of the clamp.
I've recently filed a Campag band on mech to fit on the Bates when I've encountered the same problem. I worked a treat.

Anything before I buy some Stronglight Impact?

This could be an option.
Otherwise a shim with a quill stem, but I don't know if it will work well, or it is a recipe for disaster with a heavier steering than a solo bike.
I'll be using a shim on mine but it is and old frame that has got a headclip headset, so double safety with the expanding quill.

Would also consider Shimano LX/XT tandem specific chainset/cranks.

Hi everyone,

I am trying to gather parts for a tandem project and before I jump onto buy a TA reproduction tandem chainset and Kalloy seatposts, I would like to try to find the following:

*) TA tandem chainset or just the cranks, like the picture attached would be ideal, though no need for BB or pedals. Neither the chain guards, though it would be a nice touch if they are there.
170mm arms length.

*) 2x 26.8mm matching seatposts, non aero. Shimano 600 ideal, Ultegra also considered but would have to find 2, so the Kalloy route might be. In good condition please, not beater material.

I hope it is ok I have used a picture of a set sold in the forum.

Any help appreciated.
Thanks

Sent you a pm, re pedals

Any pics of the bag please?

Also interested in the bag if @knowthejo doesn't take it.

Can you not use a pair of these to carry your wheels?
