FluffyChicken.....jagwire makes the ferrlues......but that's a set of the Avid Flak Jacket housing/cables. it's gimmick central. they have a second shield that supposed to go over the exposed cable but there are many faults. in the pic....it looks like they left the red covers off. i...

neilll....yeah......i figured someone had caught it but didn't think to look....

Muddy Funster....i work at a shop in the states and shipping can vary wildly depending how the size of the box, weight and where it's going. a friend recently shipped a bike to switzerland. $400.00 USD luckily for you guys in europe...the us dollar is weak so you can get all sorts of...

i'm not sure if links are allowed to live ebay auctions? 170251292328 it's not mine. i saw it a few days ago and having one already....i wonder if i should have a spare....couldn't hurt, right?

ededwards......thanks....my wait was 2.5 years. most of the time was used to gather most of the vintage parts from eBay. what a wonderful resource for stuff like that. his wait time is now 6 or 7 years. but he's not taking orders for 2008. i never thought his wait time would get...

one-eyed_jim........the front opening dropouts are fine but.....i've always wondered what if any advantage they had? alignment was required with each wheel fitting....even with the adjuster type screws....and if the rider won't be experimenting with wheelbase length changes.....then the...

hamster.....never said i didn't like record hubs.....but i wanted a mix of new and old. the campagnolo hubs would have been too much campagnolo. also, remember, this is not a road bike. TheGreenRabbit, gets it. stew-b....ahahaha.....some day.......

et al....thanks for the kind words..... the replies will be in a lump due to time constraints..... as to the drivetrain......i don't like shimano shifter body shapes at all. they also look weird when mounted as suggested.....and when mounted in such a way as to point forward rather than...

the style is classic and so is the fabrication methods.....but the materials (stainless carved and polished lugs rather than bulky rough edged chromed lugs) and the colors are thoroughly modern...... i wanted the parts kit to reflect that mix of new and old...... i got on the wait list in...

do you have a picture of the shifters?

lelobysfoot, hamster....thanks for the info. i was really looking for info on the master and nexus since these are box section rims. they are very much like a wolber gentleman gta, fiamme red, mavic montlery, or ma2. i've built wheels with the excellence and excellight and they...

hi all..... does anyone here use the Torelli Master rims in years past? any comments about them at all? good, bad, experiences? the master rims were made by Ambrosio. does anyone know if ambrosio still makes the nexus rim? has anyone used a nexus rim?

garethrl.....this was a common issue at our shop and avid sent us a whole box of pads to help. step 1. do not toe in the pads. not on any v-brake. shimano, avid, campagnolo (yes, they make v-brakes), all advise against it. step 2. replace the pads you have with a pad of a softer...

P20....oh yeah! how could i forget! i remember, a few yeas ago, delacour having a fit to the point of tears when rumor spread that panizzi had been riding the course on a motor bike. there was also bruno thierry and of course mcrae had his moments. Shamus....good to see...

Dr S.....ahhhh....didn't know he drove that evo version a while back. the sport needs more people like him. he's very fun to watch. loeb is great and all but he never seems like he's having fun. like it's not enough that he won. burns was a good one too, sainz, makinen.....all...
