    Raleigh Supercourse - 90's Technium version with a tasty upgrade

    Really cool that. The blue anodised bolts are a nice touch.

    Bianchi Aluminium Mega Pro XL 1998 differences ?[Pantani]

    I think that Distrelec decal must be unique to the MTB frames as I have never seen it on a road one. Further to the tubing types mentioned I have also seen this one pictured below on the older frames (pre '99 I think) which I think is the lower end alu of the time. I've seen it on Pantani...

    Bianchi Aluminium Mega Pro XL 1998 differences ?[Pantani]

    Nice. Yes mine has the same 'made in Italy' decal in the same position. They didn't have this decal when they changed to the new ML / XL ect.. naming conventions from 2002, although I think they were still made in Italy then.

    Bianchi Aluminium Mega Pro XL 1998 differences ?[Pantani]

    From what I've read that is the Dedaccai 7005 tube set used on the lower end alu road bikes (Meg pro AL). As it doesn't say on the sticker I assume they wern't double butted. Still made in Italy though!

    Quill stem adaptor help

    Hi. I think this is the correct area on the forum- if not please move! I have just got an aluminium Bianchi with a threaded steerer and an ITM quill stem adaptor for an 1.1/8" ITM stem. I assumed it would be a simple undo bolt and whack job but what I thought was a cap covering a bolt appears to...

    Bianchi Aluminium Mega Pro XL 1998 differences ?[Pantani]

    Further to this I have just bought a Bianchi 'Mega X pro AL'. It has the threaded fork steerer and from research I think it is from around 1999-2000. From what I can find out they also did a 'Mega pro AL' which had the green 7005 badge on the seat tube. Mine has the yellow 7000 one as per the...

    Diamant shoes question

    I have just got a pair of these shoes with velcro and laces but am not sure how you should lace them up. They have lace holes on the front flap which you can see then the usual row of 5 holes underneath the flap(to the outside of the shoe). They also have holes in the tounge but I assume these...

    Mavic Cosmic Hub compatibility

    cheers. It appears that original 9 speed TA cassette that came with them was a one off cassette for these freehubs. Typical! Would it be possible to change the freehub body out of the hub shell? Might see what mavic say.

    Mavic Cosmic Hub compatibility

    I bought some Mavic Cosmics off ebay and they came with the original TA 9 speed cassette. The hubs are campagnolo compatible. As my chain was jumping off the worn cassette I wanted to replace it for a new campag cassette. However upon taking the cassette off, the hub splines dont look like...
