Re: Re: Good to know, i was thinking it was actually custom made, learning already :D it's a nice stem, but may of course not be fitting if I want to take it back to its origin.

Thanks for the feedback, ...once i've been to the library and dug around through the records i'll have my date, hoping to do that Saturday morning. The headset is a tange, i think the guy i brought it off, put that on it possibly? The stem has no marking on it apart from it says the word...

I've brought this beauty back to Wolves for the princely sum of £31 (well, plus the cost of a night in deepest darkest Somerset with pot smoking, drink driving Somerset yocals - that's for another time!) To say I'm pretty much going to have to learn as I go along with this - is a vast...

thanks for the feedback, i must admit the scorpio lettering is very of the time, so i can't see them ever getting put on it! Infact tempted to leave it all off.

Probably a Tange steel job made abroad somewhere, I've seen another frame like it on the internet with same headtube junction lugs, but seemingly without the cut out bits at top and bottom, is this something they would have gone at length to do abroad? and why are my scorpio decals blue if the...

Picked this up for £26. http://instagram.com/p/sa1vZgw4aw/ It will be mainly used for going to work and the gym on. Bit perplexed by it. Guy I brought it off got it from some tyre place he used to work at or by? They did a few bikes on the side and parts were cheap and plentiful, apparently...

Re: I rode it to work today, it rained on the bike quite a lot whilst it was stood at work. There is very minor deterioration on the left hand side, by the shifter hood, where the tape is quite stretched, just a little fading on one logo, but i'm being picky, the right side looks fine. The...

Re: it's only gone and worked!!! :D see link in first post!

cheers, looks just the job.

Is there a way of protecting chrome on my bike? My latest edition to the stable has near perfect chrome, so was wondering if there is anything i can coat it with to protect it? I've heard rumors ranging from vaseline to clear nail varnish... Or is it best to just clean and polish it after...

work in progress My original bar tape on my coppi is coming off, so need some new, that looks exactly the same, or as near as damn it... here's hopefully my solution... follow it here... http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic ... t-on-to-it

Just thought I'd share my latest ebay conquest. The guy was local to me and was more than happy for me to go take a look, his nephew had popped it on ebay for him. Turns out he'd popped into Tower Cycles (formerly of Brum) in 1995, and this beautiful frame had been left there by a rep, its...
