    Look replacement Dropouts KG281 KG381

    Did you find a source? My Kg 386 is sometimes slipping top gear. It is probably just a bad set up or worn chain or worn cassette but, one day I going to need a new drop out, I guess.

    TVT 92

    Thank you. I think I can tell that the head tube is short from the horizontal top tube and the fact that there is not tube visible between the top and bottom head tube lugs. I also look for bikes with drops about level with the wheels. I have also found Bike Insights which lets me search by...

    TVT 92

    There is a triathlon adapted TVT92 on sale near me. Some say that the forks flex. I would just like another horizontal top tube carbon bike. I wonder how it would compare with my Look KG 386 from about 15 years later, maybe.

    rebuilding my Fausto Coppi Galaxy

    It looks very nice but I wonder what the ride is like. Is it as harsh as any other modern aluminium bike or did the Italians (I presume) manage to get some flexibility in the rear triangle. There is another yellow one with a carbon front fork on auction currently at about 100 usd.
