Re: So I've had to come to a painful decision to part with my flying scot. (And a couple of my other bikes). I have no idea on what to price the scot at in the current market. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Just checked my 87 Peugeot Elite today and its British threads for the BB.

British threads.

Atax quill stem please. :)

Thought I would post an updated pic as the Scot had a bit of a makeover to make it even nicer to cycle (plus some wee toerag snapped one of my 105 DT shifters :( ) My Dawes is now waiting for its STI Brifters and other bits (put on hold at present) :)

Sorry, i saw the frame and was dazzled, just noticed the size. 54 is a little small for me.

very tempted, but before i commit, are all the lugs sound?

Thought i would mention Very Cherry Custom Paint as a West coast of Scotland alternative to powder coating. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Very-Che ... fo&sk=info Seen some of his work on bikes and its been very good Hopefully getting one of my roadies done by him when i decide on the...

Gorgeous bike. If you want to keep the patina i wouldnt use the t-cut n polish stuff. To keep the patina id maybe use safe-cut, if at all (its less abrasive) , and Collinite clear coat wax. Used a similar process on old patina'd VWs. I have previously used Ankor wax, but feels a bit greasy...

If there is some decent life left in the round chain rings i'll take the 105 chainset with the 53/39 round rings please.

today didnt go to plan, but will be there at somepoint this week.

Should be in the new transport museums vicinity tomorrow. I will try and get some dimensions.

I was wondering if anyone has a set of STI brifters for a 14 speed (7x2) that they are not using and looking to sell. I believe shimano did an RSX and Sora version that i know about, but looking for any 7x2 setup. Hope someone can help :)

Simplex seems to ring true of certainly some of the groupset. The groupset certainly looked like this, but obviously on a different frame. The frame pictured is still a Carbolite 103, but my frame has an internally routed rear brake. I can find info on almost every other type and model...

Thats a beauty :)
