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.

My Shimano Crane rear derailleur is ready for the rebuild. It was bought on good old eBay many months ago for cheap. It was filthy but cleaned up nicely enough for me. I had a silver donor to use all of the hardware, cage and jockey wheels from, I wanted to add these to the black body to very...

@Guinessisgoodforyou Sorry, I’ve just noticed your post. If I do get bored of the old girl I’ll let you know. I’ve been at home this week and have made time to do a few little bike related jobs, one of which was fitting some lovely Look PP396 pedals on the Raleigh, I bought these quite a some...

The saddle is the perfect height too, I got lucky there 😜

Here’s a few more pics. I finished the bike today, she rode like a dream on a little shakedown ride. Comfy, sharp and slick. I’m looking forward to a longer ride now.

There’s a little update to share with you. My plan was to reinstate the original cottered crank set, until tonight. I had looked at the build thread by Ibbz on his Criterium (very nice) when I purchased mine. I too had toyed with the idea of using a 3 arm alloy crank set but ruled it out. Then...

That was my initial plan to be honest. Then I thought if I can’t free it I will not see the bike finished, which would be a shame. I haven’t spent a lot of time on the clean up, so if the frame is scrapped, its not a big deal, and if the post is the right height for me, I can start riding it.

I wanted to give the Carrera a ride out yesterday. I’ve been riding me Cadex everyday for 5 weeks and I fancied a change. So on Friday night I aired the tyres up and checked it over. I then remembered that the last time I ride it the rear derailleur was playing up quite a bit. I had a go at...

I bought this Panasonic PR 3000 with a stuck seat post back in May. It has quite a few marks, a dent in the top tube where the bars have hit, an older unoriginal front wheel, I still think it’s quite cool. It is just another tidy up project that I didn’t need but wanted to do. It’s been...

I finally got around to cleaning, greasing and rebuilding the pedals on the RRA. It needed to be done. I’ve been cycling to work on my Cadex for a month now, due to a major road closure on my route, got lucky with the weather only getting caught in a few very light showers. Next week isn’t...
