Not to rub it in, but I just got that Shamal, Cant believe I got it for that price. Hopefully theres nothing wrong with it. Ill let you know though. if there is you can have it for twice the price.

I know its really kinda sick,

but Iv had two bikes stolen, and one of them was the very day I got it.

So im gona make my next one all white, so it looks like a ghost bike and then stick a little plaque on it saying "in remembrance of my beloved, Super Colnago"

Hi there have you still got these. Id be interested, PM sent

Thanks very much guys. ill let you know how it goes.

Sounds like I am going to try and stay away from cotterd crank.

From what I can tell, it looks best to try and use replica parts, rather than actual old parts, what you think?

what do you think of things like this?
Is this going to be any good?

Would really like to use all british parts, but could use anything if it look good on the bike.
Dont have a fixed budget, but would like to do it up in £300/£400.

any recommendations on vintage parts would be great as well. Thanks guys

Hi guys,

So first time I have created a new thread but here goes.

I recently got my hands on a british track frame from the 70's, and well I want to do it up with vintage parts.
I want to know if anyone can compare a vintage crank set to a new one?

The reason I am asking this is because recently I got to ride a friends Nagasawa with all NJS parts, it was a really really smooth ride. I want to know if I am going to be able to get that smooth a ride of Vintage crank set?
When I am talking about the smoothness of the ride, I am guessing I am talking about weather the bottom bracket and crank are perfectly circular or not.

Im really don't know much about this stuff, and would love some input, I love doing bikes up but have always used new parts for bottom bracket and crank etc.

I guess what I am really asking is it possible to get a really nice ride out of vintage parts.

I am sure iv done many things wrong in this thread, so if so please feel free to have a rant, and ill try and do better next time.

Hi guys so I love this frame soo much, have been looking for one for agers. I thought because of the damage it wouldn't go for more than £300.
Does anyone think this frame can be ridden with damage like this?
My thought were that I would have to get a frame builder to put a new top and bottom tube on it and it would be an awesome project to do. what are everyones thoughts?

This frame is awesome.

No doubt that its a good paint job, but would have been better to stick some feathers on it, not to get of the point or anything..

Love the frame so much, what's the lowest price you would go down to,it really needs a respray with the rust around the lugs, would love the frame though.
