Heck! I thought I'd reached that threshold; thanks MK One...

I could use that Scott stem but I'm being dense as I can't see how to PM...

Re: FS: hubs/rims Airlite, Campag, Mavic, Dura Ace UPDATED Oops! It's quite clear that the Mavic hub had gone; sorry about that... I've sourced the bits I need from other Retroers but there's a free bump! Thanks for your reply... ;-)

Re: Hi Walkman, Dibs on the rims & the Shimano 600 hub & the Mavic hub, if it can be fitted with a modern Shimano freewheel? Cheers! Jake
