  I havn't ridden on a traditonal brooks type saddle since" that was all there was "in the sixties.When I returned to cycling 20 years ago on mountain bikes,they all had quite soft synthetic seats,so I wondered why the brooks type seem to hold such esteem among you road cyclists.
  My return to road cycling has started with the renovation of a Harry Hall ,that I got of ebay,it has lots of nice bits on it,incuding an Ideal leather saddle,which after much soaking in Horse tak products is looking quite good, any good ?
  Next question, the campag hubs were rebuilt on mavic rims some time ago,it has a pair of perished Shwalbe stelvio 23-622 ( 700--23 )fitted,I have seen these tyres for sale at a very reasonable price,are they decent enough tyres ?

  Anyone know where I can get new chainring bolts for my stronglight chainwheel.
  They are hollow capscrews,with a castelated locking ring rather than a hex bolt on the inside.
  They work fine,just rusty,as most of the fastenings on my HH are, if only the Tw*t that had it before me had not left it outdoors,so frustrating,everything works,just looks crap.
  I see that there are quite a few chainring bolts on ebay, are they fairly universal ,eg all the same o/d , and is the counterbore in the chainwheels universal ?

  It seems from earlier post's on the subject ,that the HHshop in manchester ,have no records,or interest in their founders handbuilt bikes.

  Here's a few details of my HH restoration project, I have the frame decals on order,for after the paint job but it had a Reynolds renovated frame decal,I don't think they are available. I need a bit of an idea what age the frame could be to get the right Reynolds decal ANY IDEAS ?

  Retrobike is of interest,but naebdies come back to me about the probable age of my Harry Hall.
  But maybe shortly I will be allowed to post a few photo's,then you lot can have a stab at the age.
