Thanks Guys, you are all correct. Sticks to a magnet . Much appreciated

Hi all, I have just removed this BB axle from a Dave Yates Steel frame, I would think late 80s. I was struck by the complete lack of corrosion, and the fact it's hollow. Is this a Titanium axle? Any help gratefully received

Thank you all. Was it purely a Simplex idea rather than a ' standard' that never really took off?

Does anybody know anything about this front derailleur fitting? I've never seen anything like it. From a Battaglin frame, early 80's I think but could be late 70s maybe. I do have a Simplex mech that came with it but have never seen another mech that would fit it, or even know what to search...

Thanks guys

Hi, have just built this up. Frame& forks cheap from eBay, the rest from my parts bin. Deddaccia Force aluminium tubing, shaped like a 4 pointed star, is this what Orbea termed their. ' Lobular' tubing? I know they are currently unfashionable but I love alloy race frames and have always...

If I'm thinking of the right thing there is one that has just sold on LFGSS. May be worth getting in touch as these things have a habit of falling through

That's a lovely bike. You could well be correct about it being the licensed version as it doesn't have the Alan engravings. I wasn't aware that such an arrangement existed. I don't suppose it matters enormously in the grand scheme of things. Ridden it through two years now, it's a lot tougher...

This is what it looks like from the outside but I don't know any more

Hi, have just bought a Rossin Performance frame and forks that is missing the recessed integrated seat clamp bolt. Does anybody know what they look like/ how they work? I'm not expecting to find one but I may be able to engineer one if I can find out what I need to make. Any help or photos...
