Hey all

Need some help with this wee problem. Campag NR pedals are expensive...no pedale no ride :( MKS do some very good look-a-likes. Am trying to track down which MKS pedal will fit the NR cranks??
cheers

Nice, very very nice and I like my Gazelle which is 7 yrs older...eyes glaze over, contemplate my Raleigh 531 as well and wander off!

Went out for a pedal the other week, bike track. So not much to be concerned about, got clipped by a kid of about 10 stuffing about. Pedal hit concrete kerb, tastfully installed by local council, pedal stopped, bike stopped, rider, (with dignity) released handlebars and exited bike stage left. Missing broken bottle by a bee's dick and I note missed by aforemetioned local council. Grazing to hands, L arm and l leg, bike ok actually.... Kid, learned that somethings will always be anatomically impossible even at that age, mummy chastened yet angry with me??? somethting i said perhaps?

FYI Mad Max 1&2 were filmed around Melb and Victoria. The stunt drivers had steel cohonas (sic) the stunts were extreme and nothing short of miracle on the roads they drove on. I've driven one stretch and I can drive quick...no picnic....... Mel only drove in straight lines, Steve Bisley 'Goose' was abit more energetic / mad..... Apologies slightly off topic :)

I watched Mad Max 2 last night and have to say the driving was pretty dangerous. Mel Gibson also looked a lot younger.

Am an ex cop downunder, but am a Pom deep down :) Have to say I trust drivers less and less around Melbourne. We came here in 1980 driving was easier even fun. Now the levels aggression, intimidation and lack of consideration round here is shite. I only ride on bike tracks and there are plenty of those. A mate is a traffic cop, told me the other day, so many frigging aggro types not only towards motorists, pedestrians, cyclists but with us. Times was discretion was the golden rule, get a bollicking or a ticket, now you give out both and you don't hold back. Our road accidents are either speed, fatigue or slack driving or variations there of. Maybe nothing remarkable about that, but driving downunder is no pleasure anymore and cyclists on the road, as my Dad said the other day are organ donors in waiting. (Ex cop 25yrs)
Mad Max, no but some are pushing the envelope!
I agree with whats cadel says, that the journo may well have helped him or herself to some liberties to help things along. For the record sydney drivers are on another planet at times. I paint a grim picture, no, not quite. But like everywhere else ride with care and assume the drivers have a bad case of tunnel vision, because "that cyclist jumped out at me from no where"

Cadel is a patron with Phil Liggett of the Amy Gillett Foundation see link below..Thanks!

As an observation only, these are like gold dust in Australia. If it was avail shipped downunder, be another story. Nice frame and components too!

Hi Psychlist
Just wondering how much the bike was sold for?? Am happy for you to Pm me with the details.
Cheers, Roger

Am looking for a solid but mid range BB? I'm in Australia BB's are plentiful but advice seems to be, "this the one we sell today" Helpful but maybe not the best one.
This will be going into a Resto 531 Team Panasonic. Ok Guys it cost me a few $ to get it so something has to give right now, so I can ride it around and keep the nearest and dearest content..contentment is...well ya know :)
Thanks everyone
