Another epic mud-fest instead of Gravel today... 108 km and 680m alt in 5 hrs 30 min and pouring rain that started 3 days ago, so everything was sogged already 😃 🤦‍♂️ . Enjoyed it nevertheless ☺️. Will clean bike and clothes tomorrow, today I´m too tired.

You sure it´s small? Says med/lrg in the ad description that I can see... That should make it even more attractive, I believe.

Nope. They fixed the tarmac a couple of years ago, both ways, up and down as the road is actually a one-way-loop to the mountain and back into the city 😃

I even tried to adjust them to 700c wheels, and they worked 😃

I found them on Aliexpress...

You are definitely not alone ;) I did the same to my ´92 Stumpy and to Mrs. Oligali´s ´95 KHS. Both bikes are built up non-period-correct, with various parts from the parts bin. Just because I could 😉. Cheers.

Chasing the sun between rains on the mountain above the city on the road bike with 30 km, 860 m alt in 1:25 hrs roughly...

Thanks again @Theeastisred but I managed to solve it locally in a DIY bicycle workshop run by volunteers. They hoard all sorts of old and odd parts, just perfect for me today. I found the right bottom bracket, installed it myself, donated some money to them and am now preparing to pack up some...

Sounds perfect. Let me just check one more possibility to source it locally when I return from my trip next week, and I´ll come back to you afterwords. Thanks in advance and regards. o.

Thanks anyway.

70mm shell, 112 mm-ish, square taper, ITA thread Anything will do, fixing up a cheap beater bike, so no intention to spend a lot 🤦‍♂️ EU located, will pay postage, of course. Thx.

Is this gone already? Or by any chance still available?

one has to admire the matching colours... very nice.

sunny but freezing cold in the woods at the foot of the mountain behind the city :LOL: ... just shy of 2hrs, 25 km and 960 m alt today...

Sunny day.
