No worries hope you enjoy, it's a beauty!

If for any reason it falls through with Corbey I'll 2nd Dibs!

forgot to mention I need the nutted version, not allen bolt recessed!

Cheers

Looking for a pair in the polished silver finish, anyone?
Or alternatively any 73mm reach dual pivots?

Cheers

Sorry buddy this was sold back in March. Hope you find something else

Ps I'm sure I've seen asolos in the old catalogue offered with shimano 600 ! ;)

Thanks MementoMori! To set your mind at rest I have decided to go with the 10 speed veloce shifters (silver of course). I can't afford new wheels yet so will have to use an 8 speed shimano cassette or possibly a conversion cassette , not the lightest option but will get the bike running until campag wheels are an option

Thanks über grüber , can anyone confirm this? . Many posts I've read say for campag the swing of the mech parallelogram is different between speeds, so you have to take this into account as well, not just match the shifter and cassette speeds ...

Anybody have one ? I don't want to buy a whole new headset, just need the lockring ! Chrome if possible ...

Cheers

I've tried but it doesn't want to go on. Will I damage the threads on the fork if I use and iso threaded lockring ? (I don't mind if it rethreads the lockring - I may be able to find one in a spare parts bin at my local lbs

Ok so managed to get the top cup off and it will thread back on ok. But the lock ring won't. I tried a lock ring from another frame and it did go on!

To add to the confusion the problem bike is french which I according to sheldon has different threading. So why did the other locking ( from my pinarello ) fit? I didn't put it on far in fear of damaging the thread but it didn't seem to offer any resistance.
Is it just a case that the original locking was knackered ? The thread looks ok to me ...

Now I'm confused!

Thanks RiRi I have a frame now, nice bike though!

Cheers that may be the answer if I can't re thread it

Thanks will try that tonight , hadn't thought of unscrewing the headset fingers crossed !

Just took the lockring off my head set on my gitane and the top of the fork steerer looks like this!

Unfortunately the lockring will not go back on . I'd consider chopping the steerer down below the damaged part but the headset has no spacers so it end up too short.

The only was I think this can have happened is that the stem is a standard diameter (22.2mm) and is too big for the french size steerer tube (22.0mm dia) and has somehow been forced in . Unlikely, but its always been very difficult to get in and out. and may have damaged the steerer. It has split just where the flat part of the steerer is so its fairly thin

Has anyone got any suggestions on how to fix it. Don't really want to spend on a new pair of forks and headset as this has now become my beater, and the frame's probably worth less than the cost of new parts.

any suggestions?

thanks

Does anyone know if it will be an issue using an 8 speed rear mech with 10 speed shifters and cassette ? Can't seem to find a definitive answer . If I need a new mech it may sway which brand to choose

Ha! Have you used shimano sti and if so which do you prefer? Had them on my old bike and thought they were great, I'm not sure about the campag thumb button for shifting .

Cheers . Did you buy your group set new or second hand . From why's I've read there can be problems mixing and matching campg parts whereas shimano doesn't tend to have this problem ..

After lots of searching I've finally found a Pinarello frame!

The frame was bought from forum member MementoMori and I can't reccommend him highly enough . The frame arrived quickly and extremely well packed . Thanks again MementoMori!

Original thread

http://www.lfgss.com/thread103640.html

So I've been thinking about building a bike for a while and have always been fond of Pinarellos . I think this one is early 90s , the chrome is near perfect but I'm not too fond of the paint job so will probably get it repainted before adding new decals.

I really like the look of this super record in Pearl Blue ( see attached) and am aiming to replicate the overall look

However I'm thinking of using a modern group set. I've been happily riding my gaspipe gitane with dt friction shifters for a while but have decided I'd like to go back to the convenience of brifters

So .. First question is to go with campy or shimano ! I know some will say its sacrilegious not to put campy on a Italian frame but the cost of campy parts seems so high in comparison and there seems to be added complications with mixing campy mechs from different speeds

In terms of parts available already I have a pair of mavic sup rims with ultegra hubs , which makes me think just choose shimano

But I also have a nice chorus 10 speed chainset, an 8 speed chorus rear mech and some new veloce calipers. Plus 10 speed veloce shifters are available a lot cheaper than shimano sti at the moment

Any thoughts to direct this project ? Considering using a jtek shift mate to make use if my wheels with a campy group set, but is shimergo a bad choice if I'm building from scratch ? I want to keep it fairly cheap but also build a bike that will last

Any thoughts welcome !

Looking for these barrel adjusters and rubber o rings for front and rear chorus dual pivot (90s) anyone or any spares?

Thanks

Still looking for that elusive frame! , I've tried a few now and definitely need a 56-57. I have a 54cm faggin competition in blue chromovelato in anyone's interested in a swap ?!

Hi

So i have a nice set of wheels with these hubs

http://velobase.com/ViewComponent.aspx?ID=13F952BE-BAEB-414A-B114-C0DCF12411D1http://velobase.com/ViewComponent.aspx?ID=13F952BE-BAEB-414A-B114-C0DCF12411D1

But the cones are pitted on both hubs, during a recent house move I've also lost the entire rear hub axle assembly!

Any chance anyone has spares or complete hubs in good condition? Would rather fix these up for my beater than buy new wheels

Cheers

Simplex shifters received , cheers Scilly

Hi

Does anyone have a pair of cane creek scr5 levers (or tektro equivalent) with brown gum hoods?

Cheers
