Ah just get it TIG welded then spot the paint, you don't need to go for a full re-spray. I'm trying to find a good match for the blue in a rattle can, I'll let you know if I have any success.

Hey Akema, its my frame's little bro!

They are NOS spanish campy copies, €20 a pair. Not great build quality, but they look the shit. Adding some chrome toe clips and white leather straps soon. I can give you the guy's email address if you like, he has a lot of nice vintage stuff, but you would have to get them posted from the Netherlands.

haha,

HI IM BARRY SCOTT, HERE TO TELL YOU ABOUT VAZ!!

I'm looking for some drops just now, as I do more long trips than I thought I would. I've realised it's too nice to leave outside the Albert Hein.

I know I posted this in current projects, but..

If there is anything specific you need let me know, the guy around the corner has a lot of nice old stuff. He even has a track frame from 1889!

...as lovely as tubular tyres are...

They feel great, and make a nice sound above 35kph. I think I'll get some gloop to put inside and ride them until they go pop, looking for a new wheel set in the meantime.

First ss build. Need to get some dust caps for the cranks, toe clips and drop bars as I'm mostly using it in the evenings / weekends, apart from that it's awesome. I was super happy with the matching rims, until I tried to change a tire and found out they were tubs. Any tips or points are welcome...

Super nice frame! Where did you get hold of it? I live round the corner from an antique bike fixer / builder in the Netherlands, I'll show him a pic and ask if he knows 'owt.

I would definitely join you for half a day or something, only just got my stabilisers off, but it would be nice to meet some folk.

Strange character useage bump. Are you using Os as 0s?

Tektro RL720 and RL726 'Cross Top' Brake Lever

velosolo.com does what your after. I'm using one as a single lever, so I don't know how they work really. Nice, but the cable goes directly to the lever, so it wobbles about every time you brake.

Gonnae get them to include some touch up bottles...

Built it up properly today, fuck it's fun!

Whatever I can 1/2" from work, which includes my callipers, socket set, angle grinder, TIG welding machine... only for the weekend mind.

Just a long weekend looking into the mirror.

bit of soul searching eh?

cocaine mark.

'allo,

Just built up my first proper ss, the lbs let me use their torque wrench on the street!

I've adjusted the chain tension as much as I can a la Sheldon, tapping the chain and tightening the bolts, but I still have a loose chain with my right foot forward. I took a screw driver and rested it on the frame next to the inside of the smallest sprocket while spinning the cassette (im still waiting on my freewheel, so middle sprocket of cassette does for now) and it seems to be not centred.

Is this a possible cause? The hub is a campy nuevo record with a maillard screw on cassette circa 1977. Cheers for any input.,

David

The blocks are open on both ends. I did borrow the brake from another of my bikes though, a pair of Shimano Arabesques are on the way.

And don't forget to flip the front brake blocks.
Now it's dangerous: open to the front.

Do you mean there is more pad beyond the front of the calliper than behind, or that the angle of the pads means the back of them will contact the rim first? Or something completely different.

... Just need to replace the tatty Rolls ...

If it's still rideable I'll take it off your hands...

Thanks Cheese, I was hoping for good news, I love marktplaats, I'm really going to miss it. Fietsenmaker tomorrow to tighten the bb, then off to the car paint shop around the corner. Should be riding by 12:00!

I just started putting bits on a Champion Mondial frame I picked up, along with a sweet matching wheel set with campy record hubs and arc en ciel rims. Trying to keep it vintage, single speed and not too shiney as I'm moving to London at the end of summer and I don't want my Dutch souvenir nicked.

Any tips on stopping surface rust (localised clear coat perhaps?) would be great. Kaas or Zieleman, maybe you know where I can find cream touch up paint, I'm in s'Hertogenbosch.

Do you gents know what year it's from, if it's an A or B( SN: 3202809 Roto cast bb shell)?

Also any general tips on ss, it's my first, not counting the frankenbeater I ride every day.

PS, does anyone know what these Miche cranks are (170)? Nothing on VeloBase

Cheers,

David

The server doesn't like me, so here are some links pics of the Miche cranks etc.

Cheers Fruit, I'm living in the Netherlands just now, so I might pop along to his place.

'allo.

I've got a nice '77 Gazelle Champion Mondial I'm building up and I need a front brake from around the same vintage. Something like a 600, 105, Arabesque etc. has to also reach down 52mm.

Cheers,

David

Do Waxoyl do something clear?
