square taper Italian threaded BB- I'll check out Sheldon method. Prior to me removing/ attempting to remove stuck parts there was no rattling from inside the frame, and nothing I removed has broken/ corroded as far as i can tell

That's probably the sensible thing to do, the loose material in the frame is making me a little nervous about it's integrity.... Will give the bb another go before writing it off though

Slow progress due to work and family stuff.... Brakes and seatpost now unstuck and removed from the frame. BB is still seized, having broken two tools attempting to remove it....

However, there are some loose bits of material inside the frame that were not there before I starting striping it down. I suspect that it's internal rust that manhandling the seatpost and BB has broken loose from the tubes. So the frame is probably dead.

So I now need a new frame. 56/57 cm, steel or alu. Mounts for guards preferred, extra points if it suits a 650b conversion. Does anyone have anything suitable?

No worries, can take more pics if anyone else is interested...

all good in the end, his insurance paid out for two replacement bikes. The same car was internet famous briefly when it looked like this:

Yeah it is, bought from an old boy who'd had it custom built, in great condition for age. I also have a 753 Condor that might be Yates built. Unfortunately It got written off by Porsche.

Hi- It's not sold yet. I never got round to listing it, I've just not had the time....

TT is 57.5 cm and the tubing is 531C. It's a lovely bike- but I just don't ride it. Seems a waste to have it sitting in the garage unused.

Ideally looking to sell as a frameset, but having said that I do have all the parts as pictured above

I'm happy to use a vice on the seatpost, it's for the tip once it's out....

I've given bolts/ post a couple of applications of penetrating oil- maybe I'm not being patient enough....

Cheers- nice but spendy unless I can find a pair 2nd hand. I'm getting the feeling it'll either be a thumbie, or some cheap 2nd hand Shimano bits....

1st issue- The brake nuts are rounded off, so I can't get any purchase with an Allen key. Any tips on removing them?

Yep- they are properly stuck indeed. Should have some oil arriving in the next couple of days.

Thanks for the Linseed oil tip- I wasn't planning on powdercoating it, I'm keen for it to be a cheap build....

Assuming the frame is sound it should be a fun bike at the end...

Shame there isn't clearance in the frame for 650b wheels really, would have been awesome

I have this Pinarello frameset. Both myself and Manchester's weather have not been kind to it and it's been ridden into the ground over the past 6 or so years. The RGR Risers Gonna Rase thread is making me want to build it up as an around town bike with flat or town bars and single ring drivetrain.

Seatpost and brake nuts are currently stuck, and I'm Unsure of how easily they'll come out. Any tips on removing them?

Frame has a fair bit of rust, but is salvageable in my eyes (assuming no major internal rust is present).

I have:

1. Campag cranks
   
2. Campag Rear derailleur in need of a clean and new Jockey wheels
   
3. parts bin of stems, saddles, posts etc
   
   

I Need:

1. Shifters- any other options for Campag beyond friction shifters and a thumb mount thing?
   
2. wheels
   
3. Brakes that will work with flat bar levers
   
4. Bars- probably some Ergotec town bars
   
5. levers- unsure what will be best with road calipers
   
   
   

56cm road frame or frameset required. Must have mudguard eyelets. 130 rear spacing. Would be nice to fit 28mm tyres too. Bonus if it has disc mounts.

Modern-ish Alu preferred, as is racy geometry.

What do you have?

Yep- the bulb, circuit and plastic housing. I bought one a few weeks back when mine went after 4 years or so of use

If you can't find one 2nd hand Exposure will sell you one direct for £15 or so.

Bit of a coincidence, same paintjob as mine on the last page....

Thanks- sensible advice

It's 56 square. I've not worked out a price as of yet if I'm honest due to my reluctance to sell. A shoulder injury has meant I'm stuck riding more sensible bikes for a while, so It's sitting in the garage unused at the moment. It's an absolute rocket- funnest bike I've owned

Mine: It'll be up for sale shortly as I just don't ride it any more....

Built my 853 Weigh branded Donohue up again over the weekend to take some pics to sell it. I forgot how much I like this bike.... Trying to justify keeping it now...

another:

Weigh:

Apologies for the delay, busy weekend with the family having not seen them for a few days.....

Pics for you if you're still looking

Yates:

Hi, home tonight. I'll get pics over to you in the morning....
