thanks everyone, actually went to willy bain and got it sorted thankfully.
Thanks for the offer TotalShanner, lenzie is a bit far for me, i do need to get out that way this summer and take on the tak - it's been on my mind far too long.

Just jumping on this thread, for a slightly different reason if that’s ok. Anyone know a dece place to get a rear derailleur hanger aligned / bent back?
I’m so fed up with Glasgow roads 😤 this is like my 3 or 4th accident in 6 months - stupidly large pot hole today!

Hi, anyone any experience with Nitto M18 racks?
Or similar Randonneur racks?
I just got a Nitto M18 but really struggling to find appropriate/safest bag/luggage to fit - 5kg rating.

I've come across Roswheel trunk bag (8L), and a trunk bag from Mirider (10L)
both i think too big for the rack, and could potentially go over weight.

I've also seen Carradice barleys and Giles Berhouds on this type of rack - they're ok but respectively not easy to carry around, expensive... etc

If i can, i would prefer to avoid using a Wald basket, but might take up that option later for other kinds of cycling.

Want something ideally to take off and on regularly, commuter style, but that can actually fit anything from groceries to equipment, and potentially bike packing one-night stay stuff. So wondering if just a lashed dry-bag is my best option.
I've a 2000's addax road bike, drop bars, normal caliper brakes .. not all that audaxy.

Also, i would be really interested to hear if anyone has any info on front racks safety precautions or things to avoid, other than the obvious. Recently been reading about front racks that use the fork brake centre hole and front fork dropout brazes or p-clipped to fork legs (3 point) being at risk of failing, mainly at the tang to brake, locking front wheel.
To prevent this I'm getting a 'manny' strap that connects the tombstone of the Nitto with the handlebars. I haven't had to modify/bend my Nitto M18 tang other tan use a spacer to avoid the headset.

Related is i wonder if anyone has heard of/had experience of foreign object getting in way of the Nitto M18/Randonneur long stays (from dropout to rack) and wheel, causing an accident. I only ask because this happened to me recently with SKS Bluemels. An accident i definitely don't want to repeat (i did have the SKS safety stay things - wheel still locked up ):

really appreciate any thoughts.

Hello,

I've had this frame and forks since 2013, the seat post was realised seized around 2016/17. Having tried exhausted most of all the known methods, i recently used the caustic soda method which worked very well, however unfortunately there was some paint loss.

As you can see a new post now goes in well and good, and the frame is sound; perhaps ideal for a respray, or dry weather old racer/eroica build.

pearl and blue colour

I think Columbus SL tubing

It is stamped 58, but 56cm c-c, with 56cm c-c top tube.

Included is the Stronglight A9 headset with one spare bearing.

Also included is the Tifosi BB that i previously used, no issues with that.

I feel i have to apologise for the paint loss, i'm glad though it's now a functioning frame again.

If anyone is interested, the attached reflective decals used to say 'Piet Nizet'.

the rear dropout is 130mm, which has been mentioned previously that this frame may have originally had 126 or 120 mm dropout width.

Based in Glasgow, happy to post - i have a bike box adapted for the frame.

7pm probs works slightly better for me, so happy to meet. still meet at langside hall?

I'd be up for tomorrow. R

Hi there, sorry i'm quite bad at keeping up with the updates here. unfortunately this week has been v busy so not really had free evenings but likewise next week is looking much better.
That route you mentioned is something i do every now and again, those lanes after the reservoir are great.
I gave up the single speed ages ago, so just gears for me.

hope next week works out,
R

Hey, i messaged on here a while ago about meeting for rides, but i guess my masters course got the better of me and took up all my time.
anyway, now i'm free, i'd be still up for any coffee rides or going on some different routes from the southside if anyone else is interested...

Also, I'm selling some cheap road wheels on the forum if anyone is interested. Would be handy if anyone in Glasgow was looking. Bontrager Selects with 10 speed Shimano cassette and michelin dynamic sports 23mm if you would like them. 60£

Batavus Professional frame / forks *

I bought in 2013 from an old postie building bikes with his retirement.

pearl and blue
I think 1984
56.5 x 56.5 (stamped 58 on bb)
Columbus SL tubing i think, decal is worn, across the web many claim different types.
Piet Nizet decals..
Stronglight headset (i bought new around 4 years ago) one replacement sealed bearing included

• Unfortunately 😓 this has a seized seatpost. I’ve tried everything, but the caustic soda method (the paint😖). I’ve even taken it to this guy (https://www.stirlingbikedoctor.co.uk/sei­zed-seatpost-removal/) who couldn’t do it on his machine, but says it should come out manually sawing. The price i think reflects the cost minus what he quotes for manual removal (£90)
  
  

So if you feel like having a go removing it yourself, or just riding it as is - i’ll include a replacement 27mm seatpost.

Let me know if you want to know anything else.

Based in Glasgow, happy to post, happy to meet
