Seems that it might be a proprietary part. If anyone has a bashed up old 10-spd Veloce derailleur they can sell that I can salvage the screw off it would be appreciated!

@mustardbeak Well it would be really helpful if not too much of a PITA for you! I guess I will probably also need the thread pitch, but it's probably standard metric, right?

Mine is ~2013 Veloce 10 Speed

@Tenners In Bristol at the mo, but in London next weekend, so thanks for the tip.

@mustardbeak I think those are the limit screws, so they are slightly different. I took one out to see if it fit and it was too short. I actually called GB a few days ago - but it's not a part they stock.

I'm missing the B-Screw in my Veloce Derailleur, does anybody have an idea about the thread pitch / bolt dimensions so that I could source a replacement? Thanks in advance!

dibs regale if available pm coming...

I don't understand why Froome wouldn't want to ride. Is it just some PR game?

Anyone have any tips for reasonable accommodation? (fear it may already be a bit late in the day!)

Thanks for the feedback. Seems like froglegs are an option.

I got e-mails back from Velo-Orange and Paul Components saying that their models did not fit with the narrow width.

I'd be interested in hearing about any of these:Dia Compe GC-999, Dia Compe CRX or TPR EuroX These seem to be traditional designs based on the post-mount rather than threaded v-brake style blocks. Which maybe have more room for maneuverability.

I thought I'd bump this thread as I have the same problem, but have not been able to find much conclusive information...

I have an 80s Gitane Cyclocross with fork bosses spaced at 55mm, I believe the modern standard is around 70mm, so quite a difference. Ideally I'd like to use a modern brake, and have tried the Tektro CR720s with narrow pads and spacers removed, but still can't get the pad square with the rim.

It seems the old-style brakes don't have the v-brake style adjusters used on modern pads:

I've read a few threads on the Internet where people have the same problem, but none where anyone has come back with a modern model with geometry that also works for the old narrow spacing.

Maybe the Paul "Neo Retro" would work (I have emailed them to ask)? Ideally I'd like something cheaper.

Can anyone recommend a model they know to have worked? I'd like to use a wide-profile style if possible...

nice job!

saw this recently for vegetarian (mainly 'fast') food - http://www.theydrawandtravel.com/maps/great-vegetarian-dishes-in-berlin-germany-nate-padavick#page_title in kreuzberg area.

http://www.slowtravelberlin.com is a good blog for berlin 'insider' tips, i saw they are running a 'GDR era' Prenzlauerberg tour http://www.slowtravelberlin.com/2012/06/29/beyond-kollwitzplatz-tour/ but not been, and maybe a bit obscure if it's your first visit.

I've been on the http://berliner-unterwelten.de/ and http://www.brewersberlintours.com/ both recommended.

bauhaus is pretty berlin!

PM-ed

if anyone has a spare ticket going i've had an offer for lift down.

been feeling sad about not going this year - so would love to get hold of one now!

I'll be in Vienna in a few days - can anyone recommend bike shops?

fantastic price - slightly gutted it wouldn't fit me (and that i've recently paid almost as much for a smilar frame alone!)

There are stalls selling tonnes of vintage and replica vintage clothes - I got some (new) vintage shorts there for 40 EUR last year. Also plenty of jerseys, so I wouldn't waste too much time or money trying to hunt them on ebay!

Mine could be available mid July to mid August (and maybe longer)

@peter v

Unfortunately I'm not doing L'Eroica again this year (regretting it now!) however i'd come across from Germany for some of those training rides.

Also does anyone know if there are any eroica alternatives - is't there a simlar event in France?

not much help to you i'm afraid, but i'm looking for a pair of mega dominator 44s if anyone has.

this replica edmund hillary parka is only £2,095 i think it has come down in price too:

i love it, but even if i could afford it i can't imagine wearing something that expensive.

@miro_o - thanks!i'm flattered.

I was hoping to get out this last weekend but I've been ill. I did one ride with Winston off here around the lake where he lives (NE Germany) the weekend before, it was unsuitable for a road bike but not really proper trails. So I've not tested it in anger yet.

44-18 (66 GI) is a bit high - but it's incredibly flat round Berlin, so it might not be too bad. I'm not sure I can go much smaller than 44 with a 144BCD crank (I think there is a TA one?) anyway. Maybe I should investigate 20T freewheels
