Having concentrated my efforts on various vintage road bikes (2 x Argos, 1 x Gazelle, 1 x Rourke)I fancy a new project and recently acquired an old Dawes Kingpin. In comparison with my Brompton, despite its age and condition I must say it rides very well and I now have a desire to update it...

cleaned out I don't know why but I mistakenly thought they opened up at 9.00am and by that time pretty much the entire clothing stock had been cleaned out of my local branch. It was reminiscent of Harrods sales on the telly!

Wanted in good condition a pair of Shimano 600 hubs, 36 hole uniglide or hyperglide for a period restoration. Let me know what you have, a good wheelset would be a bonus. Cheers

Just wondered if anyone can give any advice on sources for period chainstay protectors. My bikes date from the late seventies and early eighties and having had two frames refinished (1977 and 1984 Argos) and one other that has suffered from chain slap (1980's Rourke) I'm keen to get something...

Mavic rims hierarchy / timeline Just bought some Open 4 CD's, Velobase suggests they may be earlier than MA40's. Anyone know the timeline between these two and the hierarchy. Would be good to know for future builds. Cheers
