    Bottom bracket newbie question

    Bottom bracket newbie question

    @Jimmy2021 Did you weigh the frame when it wads stripped? These are beautiful frames and very light. Aside from the Italian BB, everything else will be standard, but if you ever feel like scrapping it let me know and I'll happily swap it for a frameset with a British ISO BB shell. Nice to see...

    Mystery and Unidentified Parts

    A few companies sold bikes with frames that shape - Giant and Checker Pig spring to mind. M=Having done a search though, it looks a lot like a Poulidor Avenger. Possible that it came from France?

    NOS framesets Components ITALY

    I don't think it's like that, as they seem to get big batches and often several of the same NOS frames etc. Maybe buying up stock from closing businesses?

    NOS framesets Components ITALY

    Yes, they are always worth checking out because they get a huge amount of rare stuff. High prices, but usually the chance to make an offer. They have a Suspenders fork with Prostop brake at the moment if anyone is desperate for one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/306304289464

    ITM Krystal Stem on Mountain Bike?

    Ours are the Titanium/Tomahawk/Eclypse range, which were advertised as ATB specific and so were all 25.4 mm as far as I am aware. I think the Krystal range was road specific, with negative rise and 26.0 mm clamp.

    Wanted Scapin catalogues

    That's great. The TR-X is my first Scapin frame and this was the first year the TR replaced the ZR (later to be re-instated in the line-up).
