(Edit: re 'nago) Ambrosio six arm cranks.

Yes, the top line DBS (Jonas Øglænd) frames were made by Daccordi. Those who know Swedish can read something about it here.

How long is the top tube c-c on this?

Bad luck, feel for you. Also, is there a hairline crack in the seat lug (at the typical place for this kind of lug)?

Love the Mercian, would have had their decals personally but lovely and unfussy build

Cheers, yeah me too, but it was repainted when I got it (by the original owner). Might get it restored at Mercian one day. But right now I'll just ride it.

Mercian Professional track project ready for the velodrome. It's a 1967 frame, resprayed at Venom Cycles in the 90s. Thought I'd post it since I found some of the parts here. A few more pics at Velospace.

Bargain. What's that saddle?

Don't know anything about pitlock but this should work i guess: http://cgi.ebay.com/CAMPAGNOLO-RECORD-HOLLOW-FRONT-AXLE-/280652437737

Maybe a stupid remark, but aren't you missing a couple of bolts there - couldn't that cause some trouble with your chainring?

I got the hubs, still looking for the rest. Thanks

Pistoffski: PM sent

I'm looking for the following parts:

Gipiemme special seatpost 27.2 mm

Gipiemme special headset

I'm in Finland, so you must be willing to post. Cheers!

Thanks downlo, I might just order that and try to fix some reasonably vintage looking battery lamp to it. Or maybe rebuild a vintage lamp with modern LED technology.

"does the saddle work though..?" - if you mean esthetically, probably not really, but it happens to work for my girlfriends behind, which is more important. It's hard to find women-specific vintage saddles that look nice and are not too padded (and not too expensive, trying to keep this on a budget).

Claud Butler Majestique mixte project nearly finished. Still need some double-sided touring pedals (e.g. Sylvan stream) and a light that would fit the fork bracket. If anybody knows where to find that, help would be appreciated.

Those arayas aren't even the nicest arayas. These are:

Box marked 27" but these are 700c.

27" Because they're tubulars, innit? Still nice though.

Velo Orange Montmartre.
Would've liked to put them on the Peug too, but already went way over budget..

Don't think so, Montmartres are similar but more angular. By the way, nice build Björn!

The BMX bars on the pursuit is of course a joke. Here's the real deal.

Shouldn't be in anti though...

Just waiting to find a better set of pedals, as I really don't like the MKS Streams...

What's wrong with the streams?

Anything out there? To repeat: 172.5 mm LEFT side crank. ISO taper, vintage look. Pretty please?

Bronto bought a Gipiemme track chainset - I posted it a bit later than I had intended and then it did not arrive - he's asked for a Gipiemme track or a Campag track as a replacement - I do not have one of either type (they are not especially common) but the value of a Campag track would in any case be about three times what he paid for the Gipiemme...

Hilary
Well that's not exactly a fair description of what happened. You sent it ten days late, I have written 18 PM's you have responded incompletely to 6 of them, and never (except when it was about you getting money) before I have reminded you. You did nothing to try to find the chainset before I repeatedly asked you to, etc. etc.

Worst part is the communication which has been really really bad. Regarding the Gipiemme or campa request I would of course have paid whatever extra it was worth, the only thing I said was that I would not accept some Andel chainset as it's going on a vintage track bike with Gipemme and campy parts.

After having problems I looked up this thread where you can see almost the exact same complaints pop up every two months or so. So yeah, you sell some nice parts, but maybe you should think about some of the feedback you been getting and work on your communication.

All that said, the good news is that I picked up the chainset in the post today, no explanation where it has been for four months, address was correct etc. I'm going to check it out as soon as I get home (still at work) but if all is correct then this is over and done with as far as I'm concerned.

But seriously, dude, you need to communicate better. That is all.

Still in need of both the crank and the pedals...

It seems like 'Hilary is great' is the opinion of everybody who didn't have a problem. However if you look at the Bad traders thread you can see this very question pop up every once in a while. I have found that dealing with Mr Stone has been one of the most frustrating experiences of my life. The only email he ever answered swiftly to was the one were I asked him for his paypal details. After that communication has been a nightmare.

So yeah, Hilary is great, if you can pick up your stuff yourself. If not, you'll have to hope for the best, as he doesn't give a shit about you as soon as you've paid him.

Fake all over and very bad.

This, but the worst part is that both of the down tube World champion stickers are put on the wrong way...

This is what it should look like:
