PM sent, yes please!

Sorry, mine was 27.2 inner.

Need to check, I might have one bought in error and sitting in the bits box.

Also the extra weight is advantageous for larger frames (like yours) as it's a stiffer frame as a result.

My father in law worked exactly like that in a bike factory somewhere in West London in the mid 1950s. My first almost decent bike was a Halfords Olympic, bought secondhand on the Caledonian Road in 1984. It was gas pipe of course.

Size? Looks biggish...58cm?

I had exactly the same problem, used a strip of brass sheet as a shim. I have some spare.

...although nobody had ever won the TdF in a Shimano-equipped bike until Armstrong. Also a lot of Shimano's innovations are more marketing than real innovation. Hollow BBs were a case in point: a strong story at the expense of undersized bearings with a pitiful life. Similarly a lot of the hubs...

Got an SR Suntour one, takes a Shimano hollow BB, I'll throw the BB in too, say £15 posted? Photos to follow.

It looks like someone has tried (badly) to respray the faded fork and stem, they should be glossy. Note the overspray on the stem label. The frame looks 100% right.

Eldridge was red, but as the paint was fluoro it faded badly and then looks orange like the Pine Mountain. The frame and fork tubing was identical anyway between the two.

I can also add a new Columbus stem plug and cap in its unopened packet for £10. Record headset not included.

I have one. Barely used, 240mm steerer, £100 posted. Pics to follow.

Correct, but the differences between Pine Mtn, Aldridge and BVSE was in kit only. The frames were identical.

One other point: rather than cutting down a threaded steerer to get the locknut tight enough, simply add an ahead spacer in between.

Provisionally sold!

Used on my Dawes tandem for the timing chain...came with the bike. No problems in use, it had two big M6 Allen bolts under the shell to clamp it. My main advice is grease everything massively (eccentric, shell, bolts and bolt heads) with a marine grease. Dismantle and re-grease at least twice a...

Looks like around £6 with Evri, and yes I'm still New Forest!

Repainted 1998 Kona Fire Mountain frame, forks, stem and seatpost: any good for £50? https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/16-kona-frame-92-95.477976/#post-3573523

Definitely snooker and darts - except it's beta-blockers there. I laughingly said to a physio friend who has done work for endurance racing (Le Mans etc) that he must be working in the only clean sport and he said that it's amphetamines instead.
