But you're still taking the piss advertising on here and elsewhere at the same time. Read the classified rules, I'll let you find them.

I see you have some dibs over here too. Someone's gonna get fucked around I reckon.

Want to tease those baboons at the zoo? Here's just the thing...

Peter, have a square-taper bottom-bracket chat bump.

It's unique to Dura Ace Cranks and other high end Jap cranks of that period, as mentioned above. Most cranks will fit on most tapers but will always be a compromise if they're not made for the job and you'll have to choose a spindle length to acheive a correct chainline.
Put a small hole crank on a large taper and it will stretch it. Large hole crank on small taper and you risk them bottoming out on the spindle and they'll keep coming loose. Then your cranks are fucked.

Yeah, it's a weird one. I think the Sugino 75 uses the exact same taper (pretty much the same crank as 7400) and will match exactly, but at nearly £100 for a 75 bb, old Campag is the recommended affordble alternative.

Best square taper bb ever.

Certainly is the best for a 7400 crank as the taper is neither JIS nor ISO but something inbetween (although closer to ISO but not exact).

^This is an important difference, so I've been told.

Close your eyes Comrade Fixie. Breath in that dark, sooty, smog filled air and imagine, just imagine for a moment that your lungs are filling with cool, clear, ozone rich air. Listen carefully and you will hear the gentle, cyclical crashing of waves against the sand. Feel your mind and body relax as it begins to wash away the stresses and strains of everyday modern life, but watch out for seagulls shitting on your ice-cream from a great height...
I believe you will find this tranquil space somewhere between Datchworth and Knebworth.

...I have just customised my Felt Little Bast*rd Single Speed Beach Cruiser and the Team Pro just looks a bit skinny

Has that been customised for cruising those long, beautiful golden beaches of Hertfordshire?

Yep sorry you are right this is therefore JIS standard not ISO

Now splitting, all still available

Thanks M-X, as I thought. I've found a nice ISO one on t'bay now anyway so it's a formal undibs from me.

I thought it was against Reynolds advice to chrome anything made out of 753?

It was but for some reason Peugeot always ignored it. That's why these frames often snap where the chinstay meets the dropout, usually drive-side.

Entertain for offers?

valve caps go in the bin surely?

This. Valve caps are not the finishing details of any bike, they are the work of satan.

Standard road ones go for about 80gbp in the UK and the NJS ones carry a 30+gbp hipster tax (see tokyo fixed).
I hope I haven't pissed on your thread Dandy, that really wasn't my intention. This is still probably the finest 1" threaded headset you can buy today this side of a King, and it's so much more attractive than a Record.
Bump-bump

They certainly were up to about 12 months ago when I looked into getting one. I read somewhere that Shimano continued to make them so they could still offer an NJS certified threaded headset and also so they could have at least 1 in their product range for the retro market. Oh, and also because they were soooo damn good. Chain Reaction's site says they have more arriving beginning of April.

That DA headset is slightly tempting... pretty rare to find a new one...

Shimano still make the 7410 1" threaded headset

I take it this has a 27.0 crown race due to the 30.0 stamp on the upper race?

Cool. Let me know when you decide to split, I NEED this headset like no other bike part!

Any news?

Unfortunately the WSK was trashed by her little brother when he rode it straight into the only tree in the field. I think some home distilled vodka played no small part in that event.

I had a go at this one (C330), but in orange. Good times.

My girlfriend's dad has one of these. It's his pride and joy. I think he was on the waiting list for about 15 years or something before he finally got one and he still parks it in a place so that everyone in the village who hasn't got one can see - right next to the Fiat 126 and FSO.

Awesome thread Mobidog, and what a way to start with a Marshall MP6. First Tractor I drove was a 1947 Field Marshall S1 - enough torque from that massive single cylinder diesel to pull an oak tree out of the ground I tells ya.
