I'm on the verge of buying one of these myself - pity it's not a 54. This is a bargain for somebody who needs a 50cm. Good luck with the sale.

I have a pair of Time MTB shoes and they come up smaller than my other shoes (Shimano). I'd say go for a size bigger than you normally would.

I've got a black Kalloy Uno (one of these) if that's any use.

£5 collected from somewhere near central London, or I can post if needed.

Rats..!!

Sorry downlo

He hasn't called me yet so there's still hope. ;-)

2nd dibs if this is still available. PM on the way.

It's not dangerous, only a problem if you need to service or replace the headset or you want to replace the stem (too long, short, etc).

i got a peugeot recently too, stems stuck in there too.. tried everything
i doesnt really bother me that much just dont like the finish on the metal, but i was wondering if its dangerous just to leave it stuck in there? are there any risks?

Dibs: CONCOR LIGHT with embroidered top excellent £18

Very nice. I was considering buying this one too.

Oh, and that brake cable could do with a trim and the QR on the front is wrong way around. :-)

Argos charge £90: http://www.argoscycles.com/renovation-pricelist.htm

but you can get it cheaper (£65) eg. http://www.apibikes.com/

Also, put some air in the tube before you put the tube in. Not too much or the tyre will be hard to get on, but just enough to give it a round shape so it tends to expand out into the tyre and not fold up and get stuck between the tyre and rim.

^^ What flickwg said.

Plus, the integrated handle can be handy but it also prevents you from using a crank bolt to hold the tool securely on the BB, which is essential for difficult-to-remove BBs. I had to remove a chorus BB a couple of weeks ago and the bugger was stuck so hard there's no way I would have got it out without being able to use a crank bolt to hold the tool and hammer away on the spanner.

Which generation is it? Excuse my ignorance if it's obvious by looking at it - I'm not an expert on apple hardware.

And you could do it yourself if you bought the tool. A cheapo model for £2.99

or something a bit better for £9.99

Any tool that's compatible with Campag bottom brackets will do the job. It doesn't have to be Campag brand.

Stunning frame. If only it was a few cms smaller.

Why not? From what I've read on this thread I wouldn't want to use it anyway. Sounds a bit too risky and too much effort just on the off chance you might save a few pennies.

ssshhhhhhh don't tell everyone about marktplaats

Absolutely. Or drops only (if you prefer) for a lovely longer distance commuting bike. Or even add some heavier duty tyres for a light-weight touring bike, hmmmm.....

Awe c'mon you guys! You're lacking vision....All it needs is some drops & nobblies and you got yourself a cheap, quality x bike for the winter season.

The model is PP396 - it says on the side of the pedal ;-)

Are you desperate yet? I've got a black kalloy. It's brand new except for a scratch on the bottom 1cm - way below the min insertion mark. Yours for £5 if you want it.

If it's reasonably modern then it'll probably take a standard Italian threaded BB. I have a 1996 Master Olympic and that uses a normal 70mm wide, 36mm x 24 TPI with right-hand thread on both sides.

VeloSolo has some according to their web site:

Token Square Taper JIS or ISO Bottom Bracket

Just over half way down the page. They're the cheapest I've found for a new 103mm JIS.

Does it have to be old style cup/cone/axle or will a cartridge do?

It's not a cheap used one (well, it's cheap but not used) but is that the kind of thing you're looking for?

A beautiful bike that either hasn't been ridden much or has been very well looked after. I agree with peter_v about the bar tape though ;-) It needs white tape.
