Interesting piece on the BBC website confirming the Women's TOB is set to become a regular event.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/cycling/27390169

Also for the time being it will stay in the east as they have concerns about the peloton being too spread out on a mountainous stage.

Watched yesterday's stage 4 as it ascended Port HIll in Hertford followed by a quick ride over to Old Welwyn to see them come down the High Street.
The quality of women's road racing has come on a lot in the last few years. Fitness. bike handling skills, tactics; not much different from the men's races now. A real tribute to the ladies and their managers. Also the quality of the race management was superb, which I guess it should be being a top class International event, but in the past the girls have been a bit short changed here but not this time. Plenty of support vehicles, police outriders, signage, rolling road closure - good stuff.
I think we can say the Women's Tour of Britain has been a great success and I hope the sponsors feel so too and it will now have a regular place on the calendar.

Skoota, Please add me to your message list on your return. I can pick up in London.

It is a lovely build and a very good price too.

I bought one of these frames from Planet X and after building up with Campag I don't think I ended up with much change from £1000. A steal at this price. Go for it somebody.

A very nice FD 6400 obtained from Forty45 to whom thanks for a good transaction.
Also thanks to Robbiebee and Steel of Rotterdam for their help.
This thread is now closed.

Steel/Rotterdam, I was looking for the bolt head on the right hand side that clamps to the frame braze on. I could not see it in Robbiebee's photos which makes me think it is a band on fitting. However, I may be wrong which is why I queried it with Robbiebee.
Regards.

Forty45, Thanks for the pics. It is not exactly what I want but I think it will do. How much do you want for it posted to UK and how would you like me to pay you ?
Regards.

Sounds ok but I am matching it to other components so I will not know until I see it, so a photo would be appreciated.
Many thanks.

Yes please Forty45. I am still looking for one.

Steel of Rotterdam, I am sure I could make an exception for the Netherlands ! However, I would appreciate a photo so I can see what I am getting.
Many thanks.

Robbiebee, Thanks for the reply and photos but is your FD not for a band on fitting that loops round the frame ? I need a FD that fits to to a frame fitment already brazed to the frame, a bit like brazed on gear lever fittings.

I am building up an early 90's Italian road bike with Shimano 600, just because I have a lot of it !

However, I need a Front Derailleur for double chain wheel and braze on fitting. FD 6400 series, Tri-Colour, 7/8 speed gruppo probably, in excellent visual condition and good working order. Bottom pull.
Photo appreciated together with price and how to pay you. Shipping from UK only please.

Thanks for looking.

French Hen's Teeth !
Anyone with an old Peugeot or similar check your bottom brackets now. If inscribed 35 x 1 this what you want. Tighten and loosen like Italian i.e. conventional thread, clockwise to tighten both sides.
A good and rare offering Fastexugo

Forgot to say, needs to be for a braze on fitting.

Do you by chance have the matching Front Derailleur to the Shimano 600 Tri Colour rear mech ? I would be interested if you have in nice condition. Thanks.

Bumpity bump ! Hope to see you all there Saturday week. Any questions let me know please.

Thanks everyone. I know how to get to Narrow Street (The Narrow pub !) so Thames Path from there seems the answer.
Most grateful.

The Fan Park should be ok. For the Olympic Road Races there was a similar thing at the top of Box Hill. Big screen, food vendors, memorabilia sellers, toilets (please !). Will be alright providing it doesn't rain. Could be a good place to chill out and look at other peoples bikes.

I see there is a Fan Park open for watching the T de F.

Can anyone give me a quiet cycling route to Canary Wharf/Wood Wharf from Three Mills on the River Lee towpath or Limehouse Cut ? Also a cycle route from Liverpool Street Station would be appreciated.

Looking at the A to Z it seems full of main roads so I need some local knowledge.

Much obliged.

Try these from St. John Street Cycles :

http://www.sjscycles.co.uk/cane-creek-weinmann-and-mafac-style-cane-creek-road-brake-lever-hoods-black-prod26321/

Inexpensive and do the job. Also available in tan colour. I have also used them successfully with Campag levers. The makers name is not really noticeable when installed. Warm them in hot water, dry off and apply quickly makes them easier to get on.

If the wheels are in good nick best to keep them on as that is what the bike was designed for. If you fit 700c you will find the rim is 4mm below where it was with the 27's and you will have to make sure your brakes can cope with the extra drop. 4mm may not sound much but you will be surprised how often the brakes are already on their limit with the 27's plus it can make the frame look gappy.
L/F hubs look so right and track nuts help prevent your wheels being stolen. The thief has to come with the right size spanner.
As to tyres, Continental Gatorskins are available in 27 x 1 1/4 size. Found some at a bargain price on the net today.
I guess you can sayI am recommending you keep them !
Best of luck with the build; let us know how you get on.

Bumpity-Bump !

Hope to see you all there on Saturday.

Only a short ride back to Hertford, possibly blag a lift if you are carrying a frame, and train ride on the cushions through the Lee Valley home.

Hope to see you all there.
