No problem, probably a wise decision. Any other takers ???

No problem mate 👍🏼

It could cost him one marriage 😂

This one is free 😂 I can hold it until you are up this way if you’re interested Mr Guiness

This is now karma’d folks.

More pics…

1974 or 75 Gitane for collection only in Romford, Essex. I think it’s a Tour de l'Avenir model. 58cm seat tube and 57cm top tube with honeycomb dropouts. 531 tubing, probably only the main 3. Scars and rust, original paint and graphics. The chrome on the forks isn’t great but would clean up a...

Puncture pit stop today.

I took the Panasonic out for a 35 ish mile ride earlier today. She rode like an absolute dream and I’m so pleased I took the gamble on this bike. I got a puncture about 7 miles from home, it didn’t spoil a very pleasant ride though. I took a photo during the pit stop. Sorry about the quality, I...

I agree that it’s worthy. It has given me some grief though. As well as the tweaked dropout, I had to source a replacement rear derailleur, the tab on the jockey wheel plate that locks on the stop on the body and maintains the spring tension snapped on me. The replacement didn’t have a cable...

Thanks Ibbz, just following your lead. Hope you’re well. I’m now thinking I should have gone down the TA route, these Nervar are killing me 🤣 they are supposed to have a JIS taper but only pull in on the spindle taper halfway, not enough for me. I can only get a few turns on each nut. I tried...

The paint has been stripped off and then everything was given a gentle hand polish. It looks loads better now. I discovered the spindle is not Tange as I thought, so I now need to find a JIS tapered replacement. It never ends 🤣

Correction, there seems to be a mix of Campagnolo components. Still trying to work out what’s what 👍🏼

I’m going to try to make this my last purchase of a complete bike this year 😂 I think it’s a 1994 model, hard to track down info on these. I thought this was worth a bid and won it, either got it cheap or there’s no love for some Moser’s. This Moser has Oria chromoly tubing, Veloce 9 speed...

I found the Normandy Hub decals I bought for the RRA whilst having a tidy up in the cave. One was applied to the front hub this morning to complete the project. It was a bit tricky, tweezers and a fat finger done the job though, sorted.
