and the braze on front mech hanger on my Masi Prestige frame is too far up the seat tube to run a compact chainset - my favourite mechanic an I tried, so I have no choice on this bike anyway!

Clealy I'm not spinning at 100 cadence going up Leith Hill!!

At around 19st (not all fat, thankfully!), hills are not my friend and I'm living in the middle of the Surrey Hills, but for one reason or another I've standardised on 53/39 chainrings with 11-28 cassettes (Shimano) and I can get up White Down and Leith hill while seated... One big advantage I find over the compact 50/34 I used to have on my bike is that I do most of my rides spinning at a cadence of 90-100 using the 39 ring without needing to use the 11 or 12 sprockets, thus avoiding the chainline issues. I only ever used the 34 ring going up hills before as it was a bit too spinny on anything else.

Hope that is of some help in your decisions....

does this bag have a waist strap to keep it in place or anything similar?

I have some Deda Pista bars and some Token chrome ones too - both in really good nick with white Fizik tape (Deda) and keirin grips (Token). The Token are 44cm I think - the Deda are smaller than that, but I can't remember exact size (they're at home...).

Any interest for you?

My friends all ride Dolans,
I must make amends....

Gold Somec on the previous page - why on earth do people put dirt cheap and fairly nasty conti Giro or Vittoria Rally tubs on very nice bikes??

if you can post the BLB 23t cog, I'll have it (happy to pay for the post on top of asking price)...

Dibs on CT80 steel stem pending pics please...

Interestingly, I think from memory that the road I'm moving to in a few days time is fairly quiet, pretty straight and rises quite steadily for about 500m - winter uphill sprint training will need to be discussed with my coach.....

probable dibs on Thomson 130mm -10 degree stem

what size is the bars clamp on the 130mm Thomson -10 degree stem please?

A very lovely looking and very lovely to ride Scapin Atec frame from a very famous maker - yours for £250, plenty of pictures if you follow the thread and links. It has a Shimano external cup BB which is what I think you will need and I'll throw in a quill stem and seat post if you want them too...

lovely Italian steel.....

Cheers,

Mike

Bump for a reduction to £240

Thanks! I used blue cable ends to echo the blue bits in the Masi logo on the downtube...

Reluctantly, I need to sell this frame bought from this thread http://www.lfgss.com/thread75589.html which has very good photos and info. I built it up and rode it a few times - it rides beautifully, but it got overtaken in my affections by a Masi Prestige and as we are moving soon, I apparently have to sell it!

The frame is in the same condition as in the original thread and it now has a Shimano external bottom bracket fitted for a modern chainset. Frameset tubing is Columbus Chromor and the chroming is beautiful.

£250 and she is yours, collected from Worcester Park (few miles south of Wimbledon, close to New Malden) or posted at cost.

Well, here she is - rides like a dream (the nice sort of dream!).

Completely refurbished frame I bought from the forum via a wanted ad from nstr_bangor. Built it with mostly modern kit - Ultegra 6600 groupset, 3TTT stem and Ergo Power Due bars, Shimano 600 aero seatpost, Rolls saddle. Wheels are Dura-Ace hubs laced to Ambrosio Nemesis (La Reine duNord) rims with DT revolution spokes and sexy gold nipples. Vittoria Corsa Evo CX tubs.

I did think of building with period correct groupset etc, but in the end decided that modern rideability meant more to me than having a completely retro bike for nice sunny days...

Is the chain 3/32 or 1/8? What is the BCD of the chainring?

I presume these are 10 speed indexed?

I have a lovely Scapin Atec 56cm c-c that I bought from this thread https://www.lfgss.com/thread75589.html , which rides beautifully £265

Mine was waiting in the office for me today - totally fab, thanks Yasi x

Happily, I'm a nice friendly forum member and I want to buy it :-)

OK, I've cracked - Dibs and PM'd

I'm looking for very good condition Zen 48t and 50t chainrings if anyone wants to sell me one or two!

I would really like to buy 48t and a 50t zen chainrings in excellent condition - have to be silver not black!

Please PM me if you have one (or better still!) or both for sale...

Cheers,

Mike
