Hi All

I'm currently running a Synchros stem on my Koga and it's too extreme for me aged body and is resulting in short rides and back ache.

It's a 130mm negative rise stem for a 25.4mm bar and I need one that goes up rather than down

Here's pics of the current one

I'm not fussed about keeping with Synchros but it must be shiny silver

Cheers in advance for any help

got a pair of 7400 brake levers that you can have for what I paid for them

cheers

I had a similar issue when I had a pair of CXP14 when I had them reanodised black. The feckin things dissolved. I managed to find 32 and 36 hole rims and got them all out and have used 64 of them.

I'm getting my rebuilt wheels back tomorrow and I should have 5 or 6 left over which you are welcome to have. I'll let you know tomorrow

Cheers

Hi All

I need a front skewer to match the one in the pics

Obviously another rear one would do also as I could cut it down

Thanks
Ken

Sorted now

That is lovely. Where did you get the replacement graphics from?

I got the decals from a guy in Oz off good old eBay. Just search for Koga

Bought off here with a siezed stem in the forks and with a distinct used look to the paint

A bit of paint, lots of head scratching and bits bought, fitted, discarded, more bits bought and finally put together. Just waiting for the headtube badge to show up

I've got a shiny silver inline 27.2 410mm one if interested for £32.50 posted

It's scratched below the minimum insertion line but if you only need a 330m it won't make no never minds to you

drop me a mail to if you're interested and I'll send you a pic

Cheers

Ken

Post is now sold

I'm going to get a mate to make up a cast metal head tube badge for my Koga.

I fancy the KM logo as shown in this pic with polished edges and black centre

He does good work as shown in one he did for my Kona

Anybody else want one? If so drop me a mail to and if there is enough interest I'll find out how much they will be (normally around the £20 each mark )

Sorted now thanks

Thanks, I'll buy both if required

Hi all

I need a Mavic CXP 14 32 hole rim. It can be in any condition as I only want the eyelets out of it.

It must be a CXP 14 as the eyelets from anything else won't fit.

If you can help please mail me on

Thanks

Ken

Spotter...all yours

Hi Medik

How much just for the frame as I have all the other bits I need?

Also does it have a rear brake hole?

Thanks

Ken

Hadn't thought of stripping a black one, that's a pretty good idea. You reckon standard oven cleaner will do it? Might give it a blast on an old post before i fork out for the Thompson cos they aint cheap.

I normally use Mr Muscle oven cleaner and Thomson stuff is hard anodised so it will take a few goes.

Just spray it all over and leave it for a while. Better to do several goes at it rather than one very long one. Wash it off each time and don't forget to use a container that is:

• big enough to get it in lying down so you can cover it all over
  
• doesn't melt when in contact with oven cleaner
  
• not your lunchbox
  Best of luck and remember to wear gloves
  

You could always get a black one stripped of its anodising and polished.

Just use spray on oven cleaner. you'll have to give it a few goes as Thomson anodising will be tough as buggery or look up anodisers in the yellow pages and get them to do it

Hopefully this will work. This is version 1 while I decide what I want to do with it

Koga sold, collected and rebuilt already :)

This trader in Oz seems to have loads of decals for old frames

I'm going to try out a set of the Koga ones unless someone else has used them and they're shite

http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Cyclomondo/_i.html?rt=nc&_sid=125718029&_trksid=p4634.c0.m14.l1513&_pgn=1

OK I'll sort out some pics tomorrow to see if that helps

Hi All

I got donated an old Raleigh recently (1980 something I think) and am currently running it as my shopper bike. It's a nicer frame than my other Raleigh so looking at doing a swap once I've had it painted.

It's a bit scruffy and the previous owner had removed all the decals but there is a trace outline of a Reynolds sticked but I can't make out if it says 531 or 501

Anybody know where I could find out?

Thanks in advance for any assistance

Cheers

Ken

PM'd you ref the Koga

Hopefully this will have sold before I get back off holiday so I'll be no longer tempted

What is the rear spacing on this frame?
