Thanks, it's turned out into a very light nice ride that needs to be used, sorry I didn't use the long quill, it is in a drawer awaiting the next opportunity :)

Instead spend £200 on the orange frameset in Wales, has the curly stays and has already been nicely renovated https://ebay.us/m/kvas0U

Looks like it was buried with King Richard under the car park in Leicester, I am not tempted in the slightest, since this will probably not survive any restoration process sadly, quote 'rust is superficial ' cough 😷

Another one ready to leave the workshop and find a new home - good for another 3 decades I reckon

campy components procured and now fixed/cleaned/polished - a mix of mirage and veloce - assembly next:

a more genuine looking one here https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/2559224207782499/

here are some pics showing the gap in question on various frames and forks: shimano CX50 on surly fork with 10mm studs - Paul neo retro canti on modern alu fork with 10mm studs from amazon (stopper pin not used, spring is on front of brake arm not the back) Paul minimoto (...

Hi folks - just a heads up on some dates fast approaching: 17th August - https://www.bikecreche.co.uk/buyers/ M11 4DQ from 9am - 4 pm The bi - annual Manchester Velodrome cycle jumble is on the 17th of August and a number of retrobike members including myself have booked stalls - I...

i find this strangely alluring I wonder what it looks like from either end? the front fork is a slight disappointment compared to the rest , would be fun to ride it in one of those stickman fancy dress costumes

I had assumed it was plain guage aelle or similar tubing, priced accordingly

Agree on chatgpt description, I thought this might just have been a person that doesn't speak English. However am inclined to think they just pulled some pics off the www to supplement their own? Is there anywhere in central London that is generically trustworthy?
