Re: Hey, I'm the one that bought the bike off you! It's now rebuilt and around 500 miles into its new Zwift bike form. It's replacing my older, too large Colnago which I had been using with rusted through top tube. This Ricci is closer in size to my race bike so I've built it up with...

Thanks for the reply. > Probably had a 3 speed TriVelox gear. Yep. looking at the frame, it has all the mounting points for the TriVelox gear system - two holes on the rear drop out and spring attachment point behind stokers bottom bracket. My Dad has said that the hub that came with the...

Hi all. I'm after information on Freddie Grubb tandems from the 1930's. As a family heirloom, we have this old girl. The tandem is a double gents Freddie Grubb serial number A[D or B??] 826. She dates from around 1936 or at least some time after Freddie went into liquidation and restarted as...

Brilliant! Thanks for replying to this. I had seen the Turkish ad quite a long time ago, and I think I'd seen either this or a similar sized frame come up for sale before. I remember it being around the 60+ cm size as that's quite a large size. I'm 1.78m and ride a Concorde with a 54cm top...

Re: Thanks for the info. I had a tweet back from Jamie Burrow - it's not his. He did suggest that maybe James Griffiths, who would have been in the frame around that time as a possible lead. James Griffiths is currently cycling across the Himalayas at the moment for charity - raising money...

Re: As for a bit more info, I've found this photo at the 1999 Tour of Britain (PruTour ?). http://autobus.cyclingnews.com/photos/1 ... BOARDM.jpg Exiting picture right from Mr Boardman, is one of the Concorde frames with a UK team rider.

Re: Thanks for the suggestion. That's a name I haven't seen for a long time. I've had a quick Googlewhack to see if there is any link. He did have the garish GB team strip at one point which matched these bikes (http://www.pezcyclingnews.com/photos/in ... u-thor.jpg) although he appears to...

Hey all. My ride is a 1999 ex BCF team issue Concorde which was involved in the World Class Performance Plan (WCPP). I bought the frame in 2000. Everything else had to be replaced but I'll tell you what I know. I bought the frame from the Manchester Velodrome bike sale in the February of...

Re: Claud Butler c 1962.... Hi there. Bit of question re the bottom bracket. I have a CB Gran Sport (1974) with the cotter pinned BB. I need to rebuild it so imagine it'll be replacement bearings etc. How have you managed with rebuilding? Did you reuse the original ball bearings, or get...
