I'm looking to sell this Gios Torino Super Record frameset as it is too small for me. It measures: - Seattube c-c: 58 cm - Seattube c-t: 59 cm - Toptube c-c: 56 cm The paintwork is showing a fair bit of wear, with a few larger paint chips and some smaller marks here and there. It needs some...

Re: Here are some pictures of the final result. Very happy with how it turned out and it weighs in at a very respectable 9,2 kg :)

Thanks for all the positive feedback! :) I finished the bike tonight and will post some pictures over the weekend. Here is a little tease though:

Re: Made some progress on the bike over the last couple of weeks. The frame has a couple of areas with some rust bubbles, so I decided to treat it with Owatrol inside and out. Hopefully, that will slow/halt the process. A respray is not really an option as the metallic pink would be really...

The shifters are Simplex retrofriction and they were regarded among the best shifters of their time. Even pro racers replaced their campagnolo shifters for these. The levers have a balancing spring to reduce the likelihood of the lever slipping and as a result, can be set up with less tension...

I picked up this bike a while back and as it's an unusual one I thought I'd make a thread. The bike was put up for sale locally at Facebook marketplace for £10 (!). I ended up paying £80 after a short bidding war, but still a bargain. :) The bike is a Mercier Formule 1 and was Mercier's...

Re: Pm sendt.

Re: Thanks for the input. Unfortunatly the decals are on top of the clear coat, so i guess this one won't be solved. Either way it's a nice frame :)

I baught a Miyata some time ago. At least i thaught it was a Miyata... The framenumber on the bottombracket matches Miaytas framenumbers and suggests the bike is from 1984. I couldn't find a matching bike in any Miyata catalogs, so i checked the bike more closely. On the fork crown and the top...

What size handlebar will the 3TTT status fit?

Re: Crankset for Kona comuter wanted Thanks for the info. I'll pm you about the chainring. Looks good! I've been offered a crankset by a local guy, if I don't buy it I'll send you a pm. Saves you the trouble of looking up postage for now :)

Hi all I'm looking for a crankset for my Kona LavaDome: *Square taper *Preferably 175 mm *Chainring-size in the neighborhood of 22-32-42 *Make or model not that important, but must have chainrings in good condition. *Must be shipped to Norway *Budget of about £30 Would otherwise be interested...

Re: Thanks for the info, guys. Unfortunately I won't be buying the bike. The owner claimed it was ridden in the 68 Olympics and called it "a relic" fit for serious collectors. Didn't want to name a price, just said he wanted "as much as possible"...

I've been offered to buy this Giovani road bike and I'm interested in getting some info on the bike and the brand in general. I've been searching the internet for information on Giovani bikes, but haven't really found much. The seller says its from 1968 (possibly just the frame), and it looks...

Re: Great looking bike, gridno27! I have finally managed to get the stem on my bike unstuck. Unfortunately it was not possible whitout cutting it. I have never had this much trouble with a stuck part before. I ended up cutting it, threading the inside of the stem still in the fork and using a...
