Solved. It's a 1990 Peugeot 753 Chorus frame

I've just purchaed a frame badged as a Pavey. Early 90's at a guess. The serial number starts Y00 ?? 098 Any idea's, maybe someone with a John Pavey could help. The unusual feature is the three rear brake guides which are brazed on under the top tube. 126OLN, double bottle bosses, DT gear lever...

sorry such a petty question. Trying to avoid that bulky look on 25.4 bars. I'd use cloth, but I'm running Sram and from experience cloth doesn't stretch well around the lever/shifters. I used a perforated tape in the past, just can't recall what it was. thanks

130 oln, 50/34 and 12/32. The builder has the chainset I'm using. I've seen a few Campagnolo builds.

The idea was a build with the things I've loved racing on over the decades. But I also nearly lost my legs two years ago, so part of the agenda was a bike that clearly wasn't a Strava beater, and something I could ride about in shorts and t shirt. Problem was that a lot of stuff I liked would...

Yep, a T J Cycles 'Flying Gate'. Slightly more racey than a lot of Flying Gates out there.

The forks.

The seat tube in the drawings is the biggest giveaway. British and from a 1930s design.

Just having my first ever custom bike built. Can you guess what it is?

Has anyone done this conversion on SRAM brakes. I've done it twice with Shimano dual pivot. Just no Srams about to try.

So definitely then ?

Just collected a bike to commute on, and it's rather nice for £50 Just wonder who might have built it 482982. Just seems quite fancy for a el cheapo off the peg. I know the seatpost is 26.8

They are. So far I've only found one other builder that uses that indent. And that's Bill Whitcomb, not to be confused with Witcomb

I'm not sure how good an idea this is. It's a 64 Claud Butler Olympic Path. Just want to avoid that paintjob on wheels look. I'm guessing there's a recommended way of 'not making it worse'
