Ah right - I've been placing a washer there, but it must be too thin to make a difference.

Cheers.

I've got a Campag record threaded headset, and I'm trying to fit an old (mid-90s?) Veloce front brake.

The problem I'm having is that it appears that the hex-nut on the back of the front brake appears to be too big to fit 'under' the headset. By this, I don't mean the mounting bolt that you fit in the back of the forks, but the nut that sits flush with the calipers themselves.

When I try fitting it, I can't come close to tightening the mounting bolt that goes through the fork, as the hex-nut pushes up against the cup of the headset, so that it's nigh-impossible to turn the steerer.

Has anyone had this problem before? Can I just file down one side of the hex-nut? Will purchasing a different front brake solve the problem?

All,

I've got a BNIB Campag Chorus triple chainset, 172.5mm, 30-42-53.
£85 posted.

Also a 26.4mm Campag aero seatpost, £30 posted.
Will clean up and make some photos of the latter available.

Cheers

Hey,

I'm looking for a Centaur or Chorus double chainset, pre 2005ish - i.e. no carbon on it!

Cheers

Hey,

I've got a 26mm Campag aero seatpost, and I need a 27.2mm post.
Anybody fancy a straight swap?img, #cubbies-overlay{ -moz-transition-property: margin, box-shadow, z-index; -moz-transition-duration: 0.1s; -webkit-transition-property: margin, box-shadow, z-index; -webkit-transition-duration: 0.1s; } .cubbies-selected{ z-index: 9999; box-shadow: 3px 3px 8px -1px blue !important; cursor: pointer !important; margin: -3px 3px 3px -3px; } .cubbies-selected:active{ box-shadow: 2px 2px 5px -1px darkblue !important; margin: -1px 1px 1px -1px; } #cubbies-overlay{ position: fixed; z-index: 9999; bottom: 30px; left: 30px; box-shadow: 0 2px 3px rgba(0,0,0,0.8); border: none; } #cubbies-overlay:hover{ box-shadow: 0 2px 3px rgb(0,0,0); }

Hey,

I'm looking for a drop bolt for helping adapt my rear brake.
I've heard that Campagnolo ones DO exist, but it's like a needle in a haystack.

Any one got one down the back of their sofa?

ps. Whilst I respect Sheldon and his immense knowledge (RIP), his home-made drop bolts really were crap! http://www.sheldonbrown.com/home-drop.html

Woop! Nice brakes that fit! Brakes taken. :)

Provisional dibs on the monoplaners!

Why do you say Modolo brakes are better? I just bought a rear Modolo from Hilary (rear wheel 700c on 27" frame), which I was going to fit until I sorted a Nuovo record set at a good price.

Nigel doesn't have any CN in stock - also, I think being one of the very few established sellers of classic campag means he can charge an inflated price for some of the stuff.

Hey

I'm looking for a set of Campagnolo Nuovo Record brake callipers. The 'standard' reach of 47-57mm, rather than the 'short' reach of the time.

Cheers

I'll open with a tight arse bid of £20 - I want it posted to Kenya, is that possible?

(Sort-of-a-repost, but a bit clearer!)

I am looking for a long reach (47-57mm) rear brake calliper.
Preferably old Campagnolo or Modolo, but will consider any that are long reach.

I'll also consider buying a set if people don't want to split.

Cheers

Heya,

So close to finishing my bike, only to realise I have put 700c wheels on a frame designed for 27" - hence, the contemporary Veloce brake caliper is about 10mm to short. :(

I'm looking for old rear caliper with a reach of up to 57mm (or greater). Pref Campag or Modolo.

Cheers

(will consider buying front and rear if people don't want split)

I'm going to build a church of Campag pedals. :)
Imagine this church of bones, but with pedals:

(otherwise, expect to see a pair on sale here soon!)

dibbidy dibbles dibs! PM sent

I love you.

new brakes + old frame = drill bit

Hey - what kind of tubing is it?
I'll have dibs for now!

bump.
I'll pay three times what was organicorigin was charging for some nice ones!
Someone's got to be planning on being cremated?!

Ello,

I'm looking for some campy pedals, just like these ones:

http://www.londonfgss.com/thread16086.html

Anyone got any?

I'm looking for a nice 26mm alu/steel seatpost.
Hoping for a Campag/Cinelli preferably, although not fussed about brand as long as it is a looker ;)
I'll be sticking a Brooks Swift on top of it, so you get the idea.

Cheers!

well two of the lbs don't have any....
trying the third tomorrow.
I HATE small parts.
