Been busy with other stuff but finally got round to cleaning the back wheel! I didn’t have the tool to remove the Gipiemme alloy block so had to clean it in-situ came out pretty good though. There’s very little wear to the anodising of the rim.

Front mech cleaned and fitted. Took ages to clean what appeared to be a pretty clean mech! Thankfully I didn’t have to clean the rear as it is NOS 🙂 So that’s the drivetrain done, apart from the freewheel/ wheels. Think I might clean them up next.

Guys the bottom bracket fitted to my bike is too short for the Shimano 6207 crankset that I have fitted so I'm looking to replace it eaither with a genuine period correct Shimano 600 bb or I'll consider something a bit special like Royce or carbon shelled Tifosi (if they done a JIS). My bike has...

The one I have now is about 11” I could go an inch or two longer. It has a stepped ferrule as pictured

I was going to do a full strip and rebuild but have decided to swap bits here and there until it’s finished. Today I replaced the Stronglight chainset for the 600ex, MKS pedals for some polished Time clip less (just because they look nice) and the Suntour gear levers for Shimano 600ex. I...

Dream bike right there, you are a very lucky man! 👍

Seems quite long but I think that'll do the job, thanks

Guys I'm looking for: A NOS chrome chainstay protector A spring type rear mech outer cable A Raleigh water bottle (red, yellow, blue version to match the Team Panasonic bike). Ideally NOS but good used condition is fine too as I never intend to actually use it Many thanks for looking

Worth it for the parts. Frame is questionable having been “worked” on

That’s a good shout, I wish I kept my one.

I had a black one recently, really nice bike and back in the day it was the dogs bollox! But I only realised £100'ish for the frame on eBay and I split the rest of the parts which was Dura Ace gears and a few other quality parts. All in all I got about £300 for it minus the wheels. So based on...

Thanks for the comments guys. Today I cleaned the crank ready to go on when the rebuild starts. The one without the rings looked to be in better condition so I polished that one up and fitted the rings from the other. The outer ring is a period DA I think the inner looks much more modern so I...

Always liked these love the alloy against the carbon and the wishbone seat stay 👍
