I know it's a recurring request, but figured I would ask anyway.

Looking for something along the lines of the Specialized AWOL, All-city spacehorse, Brother Kepler.
Usually ride a 57, so something in that ballpark would be ideal.

Let me know what you've got.

Cheers,

As in title. I'm based in Amsterdam, but happy to pay postage.

Thanks,

Just need a rack to complete the look.

Comfort > Speed

As above. Don't need to be in great condition, just sick of having to use my spd shoes.

Yeah, decided it wasn't worth the hassle and just got a stem that works. Some things aren't worth doing wrong.

Cheers. And na, just an old clincher that I should probably replace.

Finally got this built up, just in time for Autumn.

So it only took 5 months, but finally got this built up and rideable.

It's a pretty great time.

Also, 710mm is too wide for a set of bars.

Trying to do up the faceplate bolt on a Cinelli stem but the sleeve is spinning with the bolt and not allowing it to tighten. Is there anyway that I can do to stop this happening?

Full disclosure: I am trying to run a shim.

That would be ideal.

I will need to recheck the required chainline for my cranks (Sugino Messengers), the internet had told me I needed a 103mm spindle, but hopefully it was wrong.

Thanks for that, I never would have thought of it not being British threads.

I guess I'll get it down to a bike shop to get the threads cleaned up anyway, and hopefully they have an italian BB I can try out.

I have a Sugino Messenger crankset that I had planned on using, but I might have an issue with finding a JIS bb with Italian threading? I've never ventured into the world of Italian standards, so don't know if they're compatible with Japanese/British standards at all.

I haven't got a set of callipers, but measured the shell as 69mm wide x 37mm diameter.

The frame is a Davanti, which as far as I know is a generic alloy frame branded by a bike shop here in Holland.

The bb says BB-7420, BC1.37x24T, 68. It's sold as "FSA RPM JIS Square Taper Bottom Bracket BB-7420AL BSA-68-ST"

I've added a photo of the threads as well.

Thanks for the link. The threads look fine, just too shallow. The frame had never been built up so have to assume they were just crap from the factory.

Building up a NOS track frame and went to put the bb in and found the the driveside threading seems to be too shallow. The non-ds threading fine, and the bb threads in smoothly, but on the other side I can push the bb in and pull it out with turning it at all.

Is chasing the bb shell going to help this at all? Or is this a more terminal problem?

Have the bike built up sans bb/cranks.

Small problem. The threads on the driveside of the bottom bracket aren't deep enough for the bb. Meaning the threads don't grab at all.

Is chasing the bb going to help this? Or do i have a bigger problem?

Quick mock and shitty photo to get an idea of angles/clearances.

These guys

I just bought some a few days ago, thanks for the offer though.

So managed to free up some funds to get this finished. Going to be a pretty bitsy build, but I'd rather have it rideable and ugly than pretty and in pieces.

Have just received a Sugino Messenger crankset to put on there, if I understand correctly I need a 103mm JIS bb? Any that I should avoid?

I had the same issue, ended out using the plastic casing from a 5mm brake cable as a shim. Nice and snug now.

Rad bike also.

Fork has arrived. Suitably ridiculous.

So nice. Trip looks great as well.

After leaving the Moser neglected for the entire Winter I finally got round to giving it some love.

Pretty excited. Feels fast.

Damn, I thought that might be the case. I might go ask at some bike shops if they have any lying around, any idea what they are called?
