Anyone got a size 54/55 frameset they’d like to shift? Hmu!

That might look a bit too modern given the chunkiness of the outer chainring/cranks. Though the flecks of red would go nicely with the frame.

They are the hunt wheels, I have them on my moser. Good wheels, skewers are no good on chrome plated dropouts. Does anyone have a recommendation for a shiny skewer for use on chrome?

Not the best photo with my old emergency commuting lights bodged on.

Maybe polish up some shimano ones? or silver Hope skewers?

Dammit in reply to @elllguapo
Yeah, that's coming off- just need to get round to it. This is a better partner for the stem:

Original Paint?

Hell no, not even original colour.

Dammit in reply to @withered_preacher

The groupset.

withered_preacher in reply to @Dammit

But the question I was addressing was, ‘which skewers to use on chromed dropouts?’

she rides comfortably as only a steel/titanium bike would offer, Yet endearingly stiff, agile and responsive as any modern bike would

Priceless, thanks for sharing!

Haha wow! He didn't even use a road bike frame to start with... and he clearly missed this thread:

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

Mention another user by @username

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
