Hi Jesper, That sounds good. If only I could find one. I am having the frame resprayed at present, but looks like I will have to go down the gumming route.

Has this gone yet?

Hello all, I have an steel bike made by Clive Bonavia without a seat clamp. I am told that at one time expandable seat posts were available. I can't seem to find one on line for a 27.2 reynolds 753 frame. Anybody have any ideas where I can get one. The current seatpost is gummed in! Cheers Pete

Yes please. How do you want me to pay and total to include postage. My address is: 10 Chapmans Drive Old Stratford Milton Keynes MK19 6NT Cheers Pete

Have you sold the bottom pair of Shimano skewers?

Re: Hi Mark, Thanks for the great comments. The bike has now done a few hundred miles and is the go to bike as it just feels a dream. I have done 3 Eroica Britannia's (100, 50, 100 miles) and an Eroica California (127 miles) on it. And thanks to both you and Shaun and the many generous...

Re: Maca, There is indeed a sort of pink inside the shifter bosses.

Re: Do you mean year from the Frame number? What year are we saying?

Re: Thanks for your views. Its a mystery. The weight is a bit heavier my Bonavia 57cm 531c frame and a bit lighter than a 531 Holdsworth 56cm frame. The way the bb was a little corroded and seized, would suggest it was original (maybe) and that is dated coded 1987. All the other parts are...

Re: Hi, I can't see any pink as most of the paint was already stripped. I did originally think it was an Athena 653, but couldn't be sure. Does the frame number give any clues? All the lugs and profile look very similar, but it came with an almost complete 105 (1050)groupset (including BB and...

Can anybody help me identify this Peugeot that I picked up as a partly rebuilt bike? Frame number: Y1075250 (also has X6 stamped on the BB) Frame size and weight: Seat tube 56, Top tube 55, 1860g without forks. Forks 682g Seat tube internal diameter: 26.4mm Running gear: All Shimano 1050 date...
