But what about my cranks?

Repped.

It's how I blagged my Latitude pass as a "mechanic"...

What about my cranks?

CDA had the same flat profile around the crank bolt hole as Athena, but had self-extracting bolts.

As they were made of higher quality alloy they could have a more elegant profile to the ends of the spider arms: CDA are noticeably flattened, whereas Athena remain the same thickness throughout.

You can also remove anodising with oven cleaner/drain unblocker or caustic soda (which is the active ingredient in both and found in the same aisles in your supermarket.

You'll still need to polish it as above though.

I recently bought polished and engraved Chorus RS cranks off Tel, needless to say, the pictures don't do them justice (with and without flash).

Cranks are C-Record era: 1st gen. Athena, 1988-91.

Maybe £30/40 difference between the two ***if ***you were parting-out, but much less on a complete build.

On a straight Nag without a matching groupset, I don't see much difference: it's the frameset that is the jewel and I'd warrant that most potential purchasers will be looking to fit a full, period group anyway.

thanks

Any chance of a "back to the top" link at the bottom of pages?

Black headset.

I would worry less about colour co-ordinating parts and just concentrate on getting it roadworthy.

Once it's on the road, then stop buying parts and save your money for a second hand groupset.

Miles on the road you will give you the best idea of what you want and save you money in the long run.

OK thanks: dibbed subject to tooth count.

Assuming Tenderloin doesn't want them, I'll take the shoes if you'll post.

Can you tell me what the visible differences are between 1st and 2nd Gen?

I read that in 1992 the headset "...included a lower sealed lower cone and Campagnolo's "SELFORM" system.", but looking at catalogue scans and the like, I can't see the difference.

Thanks.

How many teeth on the cassette and how much do you want for postage?

^^^^ fuck off

Check it out 300816082045 eBay

Why?

It ended on 20th Nov and was relisted with a BIN double what the original auction ended for.

That sale was ended on 26th Nov.

So what is it I'm looking for?

My Cousin's just sent me a stove-top coffee maker: on my second pre-ride cup: champing at the bit...

Bars received with great service from Max.

An hour after I paid for them, he sent me a photo of them wrapped and the next day sent me a photo of the Proof of Postage.

Many thanks.

For road double cranks: Shimano or pattern, new or used.

I have a used 52t to trade: too strong for my Winter hack.

Thanks.

I'll take this: PM payment details.

Thanks.

EDIT: No reply, bought another one.

Rim and cassette worn, but worth it for the hub alone.

Collection only from Palmers Green or the City.

I need some books to read in hospital...

Anything by PG Wodehouse keeps me smiling, easy to dip in and out of too!

Noice!
