Is this still available?

Psee, beautiful job. I have a similar faggin I want to restore can you let me know where you got the paint done ? Is it enamel?
Also when you removed the paint with stripper and a wire brush how did you avoid scratching the chrome?

Cheers

Provisional Dibs on frame if you will split?

Ok so here are the levers, looks like maybe salt corrosion doesn't affect performance but anyone have any Idea about how to improve the appearance? I tried a bit of autosol but it didn't do anything !

Possibly, I think without a serial it will remain a mystery

Thanks , I will try and service them at some point but was hesitant to open them without knowing what I was doing. Ill check campy only, they have some good guides on there

Hi

I recently picked up a 2nd hand 10 speed chorus group circa 2001 at a great price. This is my first experience of Campy Ergos. Is there anything I should be looking for to check they are working properly and can i avoid stripping them down completely ?

The lever and thumb paddle have a definite click when pressing either of them and the levers look in general good condition, hoods are intact . There is a bit or what might be salt corrosion on the brake lever itself but nothing too serious . Is this likely to have affected the internals?

As I bought them on ebay fro italy I'm just concerned if some thing is wrong with them I need to report it within a certain time frame . The seller said they were in good working order

If I need to strip them to check I will do, just hesitant as I haven't done this before

Thanks

Pic 2

I know it is confusing . Ill try Roberts but apparently the respray is making the number on the bb shell hard to read . It looks like 1284. Ill try calling them to see if they can help

Here's some closer pics of the dropouts . Hard to tell but They look forged, I think I can see the hole in the bak for the adjuster bolt. Do you get dropouts like this without a mech hanger?

It's a strange one it is 130mm spacing and the owner says the date stamp on the bb appears to be december 1984 . I think either it's had the braze ons ground off for use as a fixe or its a very old frame that has been spread to 130 for new wheels. Hard to tell due to the repaint.

Here's a pic see what you think. I don't know whether to put up with cable clamps ( its a roberts so im sure its a great quality ride )or hold out for something more suitable . Braze ons and a repaint will take me over budget

cheers yoav, i think id have to go for braze on! Argos can do it very cheap but it will burn off the paint so more expense on top if i want it resprayed. Despite being a lovely frame I might hold out for something more suitable .

Can you get a clip on for the cable stop on the drive side chainstay ? ie near the rear mech?

Hi

So I've got the opportunity to buy a really lovely steel frame at a good price and its exactly my size. Unfortunately the frame has no rear mech hanger, or cable stop braze on of any kind. It may have had them cut off to run fixed as it was repainted but this was before the current owner had it.

I don't want to run it fixed or single speed as I have a chorus groupset I've been waiting to put on a frame . Does anyone have any experience of getting cable stops and downtube shifter bosses brazed or attached to a frame ? As the paint job is very good id like to avoid brazing if I can to save the paint. Can you have these added like a bottle cage mount I.e drilling and tapping a thread then screwing to the frame ?

I can use clips for the rear brake cable on the top tube and a claw hanger for the rear mech but it's really the cable stop by the rear dropout and on the downtube I need ( ill be using ergo levers) I guess I could use a band from a band on downtube shifter to mount the cable guides but I'd prefer it to look a bit cleaner

Any advice / experience / warnings welcome!

Cheers

Sorry just realised your message was directed at t.o!

Hi

I ended up buying them from sjs cycles £35 quid. The silver version is highly polished almost chrome like, look great. Only downside is the have black pad holders but not a big deal

Pm'd regarding second groupset

Hi

Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere , but I couldn't find an answer

I'm looking at buying a bike on eBay but the seller says I'll have to arrange a courier myself.

can anyone recommend a courier service that would be easy to arrange and roughly how much will delivery cost within the the uk?

I've tried getting an online quote but without box sizes and weights I can't get an answer

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Thanks

Cheers could you some pics when you get a chance?

Hi all

Looking for a par monoplanars, ideally chorus but would also look at athena or veloce , as long as they're in good nick with no rust etc.

Yep I asked him for the c-t-t measurement Hence the update. Unless its a really distorted photo(s) I just cant see how that is a 57!

I sent him a message and he swears it's 57cm..

"Q: Hi there, Are you sure this is 57cm? It looks far bigger than that?
A: Yes 57cms CTC or 58.5cms as per the revised details which I did this afternoon ~ after measuring yet again! "
