Thanks for the links/ replies, all I needed to know.

I havn't ridden on a traditonal brooks type saddle since" that was all there was "in the sixties.When I returned to cycling 20 years ago on mountain bikes,they all had quite soft synthetic seats,so I wondered why the brooks type seem to hold such esteem among you road cyclists.
My return to road cycling has started with the renovation of a Harry Hall ,that I got of ebay,it has lots of nice bits on it,incuding an Ideal leather saddle,which after much soaking in Horse tak products is looking quite good, any good ?
Next question, the campag hubs were rebuilt on mavic rims some time ago,it has a pair of perished Shwalbe stelvio 23-622 ( 700--23 )fitted,I have seen these tyres for sale at a very reasonable price,are they decent enough tyres ?

Thanks Mr Aroogah, Good link.

Anyone know where I can get new chainring bolts for my stronglight chainwheel.
They are hollow capscrews,with a castelated locking ring rather than a hex bolt on the inside.
They work fine,just rusty,as most of the fastenings on my HH are, if only the Tw*t that had it before me had not left it outdoors,so frustrating,everything works,just looks crap.
I see that there are quite a few chainring bolts on ebay, are they fairly universal ,eg all the same o/d , and is the counterbore in the chainwheels universal ?

It seems from earlier post's on the subject ,that the HHshop in manchester ,have no records,or interest in their founders handbuilt bikes.

Here's a few details of my HH restoration project, I have the frame decals on order,for after the paint job but it had a Reynolds renovated frame decal,I don't think they are available. I need a bit of an idea what age the frame could be to get the right Reynolds decal ANY IDEAS ?

Retrobike is of interest,but naebdies come back to me about the probable age of my Harry Hall.
But maybe shortly I will be allowed to post a few photo's,then you lot can have a stab at the age.

Bloody Hell that was quick, unfortunately the ebay add is for a handlebar stem mount,and I am looking for the mount that goes around the frame. Maybe I'm being a bit obsessive about getting the bit's original,but the frame band has an S with a sort of multi point star around it.
Thanks for the input.

O.K I can see that you have to protect your site from crap, but I'm not a Web chatty sort, just wanted to see if any of you members had stripped off the gearchanges of an old Harry Hall.
I am looking for a simplex frame mount band for my restoration project.I can post a pic of the original rusty band,if anyone is interested.
Cheers
Lee
