This ?

If you're being a tart, you should probably find an ITM stem. If you're not, then stick with whatever gives the correct fit.

I have this one for sale

Thanks nice, but whant a OS

Time for some more Colnago. :)

Did some changes on my Master: shifted from sram to shimano, replaced the -10 degree (25 mm) stem by a Thomson-17 (OS - so I could use the Easton EC70 bars I had in the spares box) and replaced my carbon wheelset by set of RS81.

Enjoy !

The same to you, @Gaston. Nice C40 you've got there.

Has anyone on here built up a Genesis Longitude? I UTFS but it turned up nothing.

What other people have already said, but also: you can use the front brake on the back and just use a nut. Then you drill out the rear hole of the fork so it's wide enough to take a recessed nut, and buy a longer recessed nut that reaches the threads of the shorter bolt (cos you're now using a rear brake on the front which won't be long enough on its own). I've done this a few times now and it works a treat.

I'm current project-ing to rebuild my Varonha, and Winston has just sent me pictures of the stem he did for me!

nice work

wow !

Had a set of front Mavic Crossone disc wheels lying around, so decided to turn one of the front wheels into a rear track wheel that takes bolt on cogs. Took the axle out of an on-one track hub, turned out some dust covers on my lathe, but need to do them again to get rid of the washers.

Mounted some Turbo cottons, now just waiting for the 6 bolt cogs I ordered:

Biem. Cool stuff @Jaap

Thanks :)

Best diy solution to remove surface rust on nuts and bolts is?

Changed forks on my Cinelli. Removed aelles and mounted some straight Genius.

eco and I can wait :)

WD40 and some (fine) steel wool?

Does mafac racer center pulls have the same distance between mounts as shimano does?

Brb, buying some steel wool

26mm Deda Piega into a 26mm Cinelli 1A quill stem. Possible, or am I wasting my time trying?

Def possible. Youll scratch your bars to fuck though
