Thanks, it’s defo Colnago, not DeRosa or Kessels and it’s from very early 70s, seller told me 73. Have attached pics of same details the exception being no clovers on fork crown/headlug. Identical long pint lugs to blue frame no no cloverleafs I have been told all production frames in early 70s...

Hi I have just happened across an early 72 or 73 colnago which is claimed and appears to be an ex Molteni team frame. I don’t have pics to hand but, although obviously a colnago early type super there are no clover leaf cutouts in lugs, only the typical colnago cotout under BB shell. I think...

Paul Gibson undoubtedly needs help in running his business. I think we can all agree that the type of operation is almost too much for a single person to run. That said, there is no excuse for his behavior, taking people’s money then ghosting them. I was luck as I got my frame back after about...

I did one of his frame building courses last year and waited a year for my frame and even then it was unfinished, and only after threatening legal action. I agree with a lot of what Paul says but writing a book and videos with Patreon are not going to clear his backlog. He needs an admin person...

Argos don’t do their own plating, they send out to a player in Liverpool but don’t know the name.

Key plating is gone as well. Another one bites the dust.

Thanks for all the replies. Bike frames (forks) are apparently a bit specialist. Quite often they polish too much and you lose detail in lugs etc so was hoping for a personal recommendation from someone who had had frame/fork parts chromed.

Looking for a recommendation for chrome platers for road fork crown and dropouts. Used to use capital chrome but gone now. Don’t mind paying a bit more for a reasonable turn around time!

A contradiction in terms “reasonably priced” and “sheriff star hubs”…….
