• The Internet. Enabling you to find rare stuff since forever!
    My wanted ad on Retrobike last week has netted be this beauty. Far from perfect but certainly rare and useable and at an amazing price. Aiming to get the bike in a slightly more period correct guise for Eroica this year.
    Need a new BB axle as the one I have is too long and is throwing the chain line off slightly. It's also not 100% straight :)
    Any suggestions on correct length?

  • if you get flooded with more of those headsets, I know another person who is after one for his Blue Riband build.

    Just taken mine out. Not going to be much use as to the correct size. It is 138.9mm!

    no chance of it ever hitting the chain stays.

  • Will do, I'm always on the lookout for Lytaloy stuff so will let you know if I come across another.
    Thanks for taking the measurements. Think I might get a range of sizes and see what works best.

    Talk to me about pumps. I've measured between the pegs and it's 47cm or 18 1/2 inches. What brands should I be on the lookout for?

  • Is that BB shell a standard for that years? Got the same on my 39 Holdsworth
