To do.... Clean brakes, it's and chainset hardware. Found the 7 speed lx brifters, will check them after a clean with a cable fitted. Wheels are minging so hopefully clean the same a the rest.. chain and cassette will have to wait till later in yhe week

Box of cleaned bits and a dynatech seat qr, never new these existed. Presume it was a generic one. Paints peeled but cleaned up and works well.. mechs got a good scrubbing and feel tight and not worn at all, jockey wheels look new! Found a syncros post in 27.2 from Steve's parts stash, the...

Weight comparisons, shocking! Standard stem,bar and seatpost against zoom bar,stem and the orange hotrods. Will see what posts I have later, this one should be long enough..... And a dirty chainset before soaking

That's the plan at present, although I have a silver 1 inch zoom stem and orange hotrod bar that would feel amazing on gravel and weight alot less haha, I'll get them scales later and compare :)

Shame about the scuff, think its had a light or computer fitted at some point here. Bb spins lovely! Might strip and service the wheels tomorrow evening if I get time.

Cleaned and had a quick furniture polish. Looks nicer in the sun and cleaned up well tbh. Stripped and cleaned the headset ready for reinstallation with fresh grease. Gonna have 5 minutes cleaning and checking the bottom bracket, span well so shouldn't be an issue.

Just stropped the original sti's I think they're just sticky and need some love and cleaning. I'll probably use the lx though. The handlebar and stem weights the same as a car so may swap for some alloy ones haha. Got some period zoom ones. Frames cleaned up well and I'll give it a quick polish...

Bare frame and forks, ready for a bloody good scrub

Okay so it's got knobbly 700c wheelset and not quite cyclocross so I'm sticking this here as it's more mtb ;) Bought from Facebook marketplace a few months back fairly locally from it's original owner who used it to get about as an engineering apprentice back in 93. He lived in a beautiful and...

I had a 2 hour Skype chat with Jacquie, most of what we chatted about can't be shared lol, she's ace, and I've a few locks of her dreads..... that was a cool and interesting gift!

Coming down from the Malverns and got thinking while walking the dog, haven't uploaded pics as I am still coming down from a great time (read tired) haha Here's the general rule of this game..... Trail of fame (wall of fame rip off haha), who'd you like to go for a casual ride with, have a...

It's for Steve's bike that I'm finishing for his folks since he passed, it's wasn't fitted to the fork and isn't in his spare parts boxes Or a similar crown race that fits cartridge bearing headsets.... Ta For this https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/pace-rc200-f5-yeah-that-one-on-ebay.472895/

Small update Tyres swapped and cassette fitted but needs a damn good clean first. Brifters fitted, silver pace bar fitted and a flite, although mark (dad) wants a comfier one haha, it'll do for the malverns :) Mechs fitted, found some shimano shims for the front. Rapid rise fitted as it's quite...
