    I seek to consult the collective wisdom of the forum...

    I'm looking to change the cassette on my Chorus 10 speed gruppo from a 11-23 to a 10 speed Centaur 12-30 ('cos I'm old and feeble, and doing the Etape Cymru in September). Thing is, when looking for a medium cage rear mech online most vendors reckon this will only take a 29 tooth max. Would anyone know if this is right?

    Was I? Sorry, I'm old and the hearing's not what it used to be

    Late 90’s Master, Columbus Gilco tubing, original chrome Precisa fork with pantographing, internal cable routing with flush entry/exit, fully chromed rear triangle, competition number hanger. Rear dropout spacing 130mm, so will readily accept 8/9/10/11 speed cassettes.
    Original Decor artwork, paintwork in superb condition.Three small chips: top of downtube on RH side, top of RH seat stay and rear RH dropout (see detailed photos). All the chrome to frame and forks in excellent condition, but seatpost bolt not included.Sorry.

    No rust, dings or dents, just lovely Italian gorgeousness- would make a great Valentines gift!

    Arse!
    Got into a bidding war on t'bay of E over the selfsame items recently, and it cost me over 60 squids.

    They do look the nuts on a '96 Daccordi SLX frame tho'...

    Broccoli wasn't invented until 1987. Think about it- did you ever eat broccoli before 1987?

    Got knocked off my bike by a headless goat outside a halal butchers in Peckham once (when the driver of a delivery wagon was chucking down whole frozen carcasses out the back for his mate on the roadside to catch. 'Course, the catcher fumbled it just as I was approaching and the carcase slithered/flopped out into the road taking my front wheel out from under me. No harm done, but the goat didn't even apologise. Bastard.

    Still better than a collision with a live horse, though.

    Still available? And, drawing on your technical knowledge here, any idea if they'd fit a Torino Super Record from the late 70's/early 80's?
