    It's been a while since I've been on here (moved to Hong kong) but I just wanted to see if anyone has got a tiny spare part that has rendered my front mech useless (and sorry, it's about gears!).

    It's the small plastic clip that connects the two main cages together. I've trawled some of the official Campy spares dealers and I'd rather not fork out 100 for the whole cage assembly given that it's a tiny bit of plastic.

    If anyone has any ideas or spares just give me a shout, can pay in cold, hard beer vouchers...

    Al in sunny HK.

    Well, it's been a while since I've done anything to the Holdsworth but slowly I'm getting back on to it.

    Have sold my motorbike (more room in the garage), finished putting together my beater for locking to lamp posts in London and now am ready to get this finished for the summer.

    I have ordered all the decals from H Lloyd so they should be turning up shortly and have opted for a respray over powder coating. After looking into it a bit more it seems it's a little more difficult to apply decals and then over lacquer. Given that I'm looking to keep this for a while I want to do it properly so am currently getting prices in for the re-spray.

    Will post again soon when things develop.

    Im doing it fixed, turning up to group rides and smashing roadies on fixed is my favourite hobby.

    Kudos right there. Liking that attitude

    Only just spotted this, sounds good though.
    Might do the 27 miler although the only bike that works at the moment is my fixie.

    Good training for the Cowley Crit the week after!

    And I just found this little beast which is soon to become a beater/commuter. Need a good fixed back wheel and cranks first...

    ... but that's another story.

    Couple more pics of the crown race (which was in bloody good condition for the age) and the headset cup. The cup was pitted on the inside but it was all silky smooth when fitted.

    Proabably going to replace it anyway for peace of mind. If anyone has any recommendations for headsets let me know, a little out of touch with road bike parts.
