Re: I'd keep the mech if originality isn't an issue. This '81-'82 Roadspeed model was sold with mostly 600 EX (Arabesque version) equipment with only the cranks and pedals 600 AX. The suntour is technically superior and doesn't look out of place. You can find the Roadspeed in this brochure...

pm'd re. handlebar.

Re: Seems a 7200 (Dura Ace Ex) stem, that has had its anodizing removed and has been polished up at some time in its life.

Weird and interesting, isn't it supposed to be 'twinned' with adjustable handlebars? Does it work well with regular handlebars?

Re: Are you sure? In the old Koga brochures there don't seem to be eyelets on the GR series in the '80s: http://www.koga.com/nl/service/brochure ... (2000-1976).htm

Re: Yes it will, 7700 is 9 speed Dura Ace, although the derailleur doesn't really care of course, it will probably run 10 speed just as well using 10 speed shifters. I think 8 speed might be a problem, since I think the derailleur pull was different in Dura Ace of the 8 speed era. Not too sure...

Re: That's just lovely and would fit the Gazelle special that I'm building up with a nitto stem perfectly. Would you send to the Netherlands?

Re: Bought some nice Mavic crankset and mech and Chipper was great to deal with and very helpful when the local post messed delivery up.

Good luck trying to get those ADB-X bars on a DA AX stem. Anyway, I love the Dura Ace stem family (I've build up a small stash of DA EX stems and DA bars to get me through any mishaps with my pride and joy). But the crystemblue stem is another incredible looking Nitto piece of art and quite...

Re: Oh my, that really pushes all my buttons.

Re: I'm always hoping some clever chap will make these bar ends up for 3d Printers. The plastic would probably be less pliant, but they should work.

No, your foot is lowered to sit at he rotational point, by having bearings right at and in the crank. The long axle where the foot sits above in a normal pedal is removed in this way. There might even be some more clearance compared to a regular pedal, because it's relatively sleek. These...

Re: I wonder what the thinking behind the 'flipped' attachment of the rear brake was. A Batavus timetrial frame that I plan to build up over the winter seems to demand this unusual placement too. I can just about understand putting the brake behind the front fork for aero reasons, but why the...

Re: Lovely sleek frame and build. Saw one of these speedstream bikes being used a 'stationsfiets' behind Rotterdam CS. Horrible.

Re: It's that time of the year again, and I wanted to mix up the Champion Mondial Cyclocross. So I decided to remove the Campagnolo NR derailleurs and crankset and install some Mavic equipment on the Gazelle. I have always loved the clean , purposeful look of the Mavic groups from the '80s...

Re: Re: I think that is not an RD-7200 but an RD-7100. It seems to lack the metal top pulley and the clever hatch for the cage of the 7200 Dura Ace EX variant, that made it possible to remove the chain without breaking it. So still first generation DA if you discount the 'Crane'.

Position of the wheel if you have horizontal dropouts and the length of the cage might influence shifting (the mavic 851 cage is uniquein that it can be adjusted to work with a wide range of rear cogs). Chain length doesn't get impacted by the derailleur in my experience, so just test the...

Do you have the tabbed 'washer', that goes between the derailleur and the derailleur eye on the frame? If not, it won't work. It looks like this: Part number is 801 034 Chainlength isn't really determined by the derailleur anyway in my experience, but by your front and rear cog sizes. I...

Re: Took the chance to get the Gazelle out in its natural habitat during a retro CX ride last weekend. Fresh rainfall made excellent cyclocross conditions with plenty of surfaces to show up my lack of skill (note to self; keep weight on back wheel for grip). Climbing a steep hill that would...
