very true sir, I ought to be flagellated with a dead greased otter for my offence...

took me 45 mins to get from victoria to gunnersbury on the disshit line...never again

make sure you wash your bike with a hot water and re-grease it (salt will eat shit out of the bike, it is so punishing to plastic or rubber seals, paint, etc. also it changes grease consistensy)

made my day this ad :)))

My bike today when I got at my work :D

hey dude,

better take your bike apart when finished riding on a salty roads... accommodate ball bearing seals in hot bathtub [with you in there]... if you not going to re-grease bike, don't ride on gritted road... advice from north east eu

entertaining thread...

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha....

I'll get back to everyones pms and emails this evening as I'm late for work, should be back about 6pm.

Your a fickle lot, no interest to 7 offers in one evening :D

sorry mate, undibs, bought something of ebay, needed firm answer earlier as ebay auction was running to the end.

Stallions happy day!

Cheers Guys

Sorry you've had no replies. I've never done this. Have you ever cut a thread before? Maybe your record pista cranks aren't the best place to have a 'first go'. Have you tried screwing in the crank extractor and seeing how far it goes in easily (don't apply any pressure)?

I have cut threads before (back home my father has a workshop), but in the UK i have no tools nor vice and etc.

Problem is that beginning of the thread is damaged... that's why i have chose piloted thread chaser... another option is to try and remove BB without extracting L crankarm (i know it may be tricky or impossible) as i have a little bit of space between crankarm and bb cup to try and tuck tools in.... and undo bb lockring/cup.. has anyone tried this?

thanx for your compassion guys...

i was considering a wedge type system (one used for bmx and generally un-extractable crank if i'm not wrong), but it looks destructive and savage in terms of the damage to bb bearing cup on the other hand bb cup is cheaper easier to find than L pista 165 crankarm

is marcus dibs sill valid?

second dibs

Hey Jones,

is you bike still available?

Some dodgy bustard tampered (tried to nick it) with my left crank (i always lock right one :)... it seems to me that he tried to remove crank with something sharp, probably knife [hehehehehe] or flat screw driver.. while doing that he fcuked up thread halfway through [not severely]

I hesitate to use crank extractor [for sq taper] as it will damage threads further more... on the other hand I'm desperate to repair it [crankset: 1973 campy record pista 165]

My question is:
Has anyone used piloted Thread Chaser TC - 8 for extractor/dust cap thread? Any luck?

Please, let me know if you had the same problem and solved it...

just noticed my spider is on the outside so could be moved in

but as i say the chain straightens up perfectly at 1 point on the rotation then banks the other way
opposite to the direction in the picture
which suggests a bent chainring! yeah?

to me it looks like fcuked/twisted chain... lol.. make/brand of the chain?

i'm trying to avoid BLB at any cost as I had a bad experience with them... and it is so overpriced... matter of principle.. one day i'll arrange purchase from states (have few cousins down there)...

I rung to one guy today and secured 36h campy record pista large flange hubs for bargain price so 28h clincher rims no longer needed :))))

I'll keep 28h campies for tub rims...

I think it worked out well

1973 record pista 28h large flange
You right - cause it is so hard to find a good and light non machined vintage 28h clincher rim and there are plenty of tub rims... 28h track hubs laced to tub rims probably were used by light (weight wise) track bike riders. my dreamcometrue rim would be ARAYA SUPER AERO SA30 (these a little bit heavish), campy atlanta 1996, campy omega strada hardox v profile, campy delta xl strada or mavic cxp12 hehehehe... poor chance to find these in 28h drilling and good condition or nos

I am considering buying new track hubs cause can't find 28h rims

your 28h campy montreal is a fine and light (385g) low profile rim.. what it is the finish of your rims? hardox, titanium or satin?

I was wondering maybe someone has pair of 28H non machined for brakes CLINCHER rims for sale, preferably aero profile (please no velocities), ideally mavic cxp12 or campy, rigida...

bought this instead, smaller but no doubt still fun :)

(might change the colour though :p)

selling ur forks?

lazy... check out campy catalogs... 345g per tub rim

specialized tricross are currently within budget at pearson cycles, see the thread further down.

And welcome

Please, don't buy specialized !!!! every second bike in london is specialized ... Follow this thread and ebay (french, italian)... go through classifieds on different bicycle club websites, local classified, bicycle jumbles etc. don't buy specialized..

It's threaded so the steerer tube is slightly shorter than the head tube.

??????????????????? so how you gonna screw on top race, locking washer and locking nut [threaded headset components screwable (except washer:) on to the steerer tube thread] ?????????????

They do...:)

all tube rims there .. not cheap option for london streets - few skids and flat :(

ive ordered mine the other day
cos me 295 delivered from the us of a
ill make sure i keep you updated on my opinion and the build

Hey dude, are you getting volume frameset shipped from us? do you need to pay stamp duty and import tax? how all this buying from states stuff works? thanks

I'm convinced that this is not a track chainset. It is a Campag (Victory?) double with only one ring fitted.

I agree with you, otherwise he would show a pic of 170 pista marking on the inside of right crank and ask much higher price... Have a look at his other auctions his asking £110 for Super Record headset - top cone of headset have no cutouts/holes so its not SR road or track headset, it might be record. It doesn't make any sense to sell pista crankset cheaper than headset..

reference your sources :) sheldon brown does not like term dropouts ...

to hippy:
I am not questioning Your knowledge... dropouts, track ends, fork ends - who cares...
i'm just being sarcastic...:))) sheldon brown wrote somewhere that he hates term "dropout", and it should be called track ends - shame I have to explain to You what sarcasm means... (I'm being sarcastic again:::)
Merry Christmas to everyone!!!

Eh?

track ends not drop outs.

reference your sources :) sheldon brown does not like term dropouts ...

Maybe there was period where English track bikes had downward facing drop outs? Where is Platini when you need him? he must be the oldest bod around here.

i'v read somewhere (can't recall where), this dropout angle was characteristic to a certain period in british track bike framebuilding...
