Re: Thanks for that! Bike has just sold via good old ebay so no longer available, I will update the advert.

I'm selling this as it's a little too big for me. It's in good condition, few rubs and scrapes but decent. It was re-enamelled by jf wilson at some point and they will confirm authenticity. Reynolds 531 c tubing. Shimmano cantilever brakes. Sakae crankset. Shimmano index downtube shifters...

Thanks for the posts chaps. I measured the rear mech, it's approx 52mm between the jockey wheel bolts. My large sprocket is 52 and 42. Rear is 14-21. 73 -46 =27?? So is this the largest I can go to? Do I need to buy a complete cassette or can you buy the sprockets separately? Thanks, Dave.

Ah thanks, I assumed due to the age that this was a freewheel (I'm new to the vintage stuff so excuse my ignorance). I removed the dustcap as I thought maybe that's where the tool fitted, it's back on now. I have two chainwhips so will hopefully be able to remove the cassette. How do I tell if...

Hi, apologies if this is a stupid question! Recently bought a 1978 gazelle champion mondial. It's got a 600 shimano arabesque groupset. I want to upgrade the rear freewheel to a kinder gearing for eroica. Currently it's 14-21 and wanted 14-28 or 14-32, is this possible? I'm also a bit stumped on...

Recieved my beautiful Gazelle champion mondial from Dirk today. Really pleased with it, it was packed really well and was as described, can't wait to get out on it now.

Thanks for responding, I should have been more specific. I already have some modernish shimmano brakes, im after something period circa early 80's weighmann perhaps?

Hi, new on here. Looking for a pair of cantilever brakes for my J.F. Wilson frame, circa 1983. Please let me know if you have anything. Thanks, Dave.
