Amendment to my ramble above haha I tried a spare 130mm rear wheel on the Thame frame and it is a very tight fit. So it will be 126mm axle with 7 speed freewheel. Chorus, C Record and Croce D'Aune there maybe more. Croce Brakes are a kings ransom though. Onward Reiver

OK I have decided! It is going to be period Campagnolo components for the Roy Thame. Made a start with some - what looks like early nineties Chorus hubs and 8 speed cassette, see if the rear hub fits the frame, I did get my spare 130mm wheel in, is 130mm wise when the gap is 126mm? If they do...

I have read your thread on this, very interesting. Reiver

Got it - click on the Ebay icon!! bids are going high Reiver

Hello, Just taken delivery of my new project. Roy Thame 531c frame and forks with Campagnolo drop outs, 22 1/2 inch. It is very light and similar weight to my Road Ace 12. Rear brake cable through the frame, I hope I can get cable thru - welding wire maybe? Frame number 692. I am guessing 1985...

OK great, I will buy them. Always wanted to have a go at building wheels. I will need some rims now Reiver

Hi, can you tell me rear axle size OLD. Cheers Reiver

Ordered XT M739 front mech, SLX 9spd cassette and an XT 739 rear mech. Not expensive! Rear mech hanger is here. Reiver

Thanks for that, clears year up. Can you or some one move my post to 1998 onwards section? Cheers Reiver
