Can you help to identify these frames, bikes or parts?

Who asked about hubs?

:)

ha! oh yeah. Got carried away.

I think they're deep v's :D

? Fizik arrione?

Look like a Pave;

mudchute, just go to BLB and get all the bits there.

They cost alot of money though, I like finding things on the cheapo elsewhere e.g. just found a stem for a fiver!

i have bought this track frame & fork a couple of weeks ago and i'm googling my arse off but cannot identify it. probably made in the sixties, bottom bracket is 1,37 x 24, British. stamped in the bb is the following:

NERVEX
59 a small 0 like a degree sign on top 3064 another small 0 022 a small 2 on the bottom f38.
and in big numbers in the bottom it reads 2027 so everything pretty much looks like this

NERVEX
59 0 3064 0 022 2 f38
2027

rear track style dropouts are Campagnolo. fork and rear stay are drilled to fit brakes.

it looks very much like a schwinn paramount (lugs, beefiness of rear stays) but it's a somewhat more refined build, with more detailing. also, the head tube holes (schwinn head tube logos I've seen were all attached with horizontally aligned fixtures) and absence of branding other than the nervex numbers might point in another direction. but which?

who can help? here's a couple of pics:

cheers to all and a happy new year

it's a pinarello ;-)

Good luck figuring it out, nice looking bike (although you might want to face the headtube, looks a bit buggered).

i have bought this track frame & fork a couple of weeks ago and i'm googling my arse off but cannot identify it.

And you didn't type in the name that was written on it?!

Nice bike tho'.

the decals are indeed 100% pinarello ;-)

thnx, i still have to clean it up thoroughly. the nervex head tube lugs do have an edge like that though. some manufacturers took it off and some left it like that.

hope one of the buffs comes up with a clue...

Hi there,

I'm no buff, but I've just started working on frame with a Nervex stamped BB shell also from the eary 60s. From what I can gather, the first line of the info refers to the angles coming out of the BB shell and size of the bores coming out the back of the BB shell. Also, are you sure the "f" isn't an "E"?

See attached a scan of the 1958 Nervex catalogue - I've highlighted the spec that most closely matches what you've got.

The number 2027 is most likely to be the frame number - sometimes you'll find this stamped onto the steerer tube of the forks as well - this should match 2027. Don't know if that's a standard convention but it's the case on my frame. You might be able to date it from this - not sure how to do this with Pinarello.

I found the Nervex catalogue here:

Hope this is of interest.

i'm quite confident that your frame is a plume vainquer(sp?!). I had similar one and took me years(!!!) to find out the framebuilder check out this thread:
http://www.londonfgss.com/thread31564.html
furthermore use the search function on this board and flickr. type in "plume vainquer" or "plum vainquer"
where did you get it... belgium?

thanks for the replies!

indeed the beefy stays and the shape of their attachment at the seat tube look more like mine than any of the other frames i've seen.

i got it in holland from a guy that used to race it on the track but couldn't tell me anything about the history, he bought it with the pinarello decals already on.

update: just received an e-mail from Pierre @ Plum in Gent, Belgium, he confirmed it is indeed a Plum Vainqueur and asked me to drop it by after removing the Pinarello decals so he could make it a proper Plum again. nice.

thanks again all of yous!

I love a happy ending.

Hi,

Nice track btw

those shoes are fugly but agreed, nice beats.

@avalanche... do you work for gucci?

only ask as its a bit random asking about a pair of trainers that vaguely appear for 2 seconds in a music video.

sorry if i missed something.

Have you seen how much those shoes are? They must be worth all of 30 quid!
