Is it stock? Interesting then, as I've always thought that the various LYxx codes on the Sachs Maillard freewheel were a manufacturing code. Here, I can clearly read LY92, so implying it was manufactured in 1992. But if your Laïti is from 1988 with the original parts, the story is totally different.

Sorry, I don't remember. It's only when you brought back the Manufrance Mezenc into my head that I vaguely remembered having this pic of a Pilat in my archives. If memory serves me correctly, there was a change recently on Leboncoin allowing sellers to hold ads with no time limit. But perhaps...

Been there for years and seller never answered to any question. Similarly, there was for years on Leboncoin Manufrance's top-of-the-line Pilat model (ECS design). Once removed all the ugly bits, it's a nice bike :). Dead seller again.

I would add Raleigh with RSP division.

Sorry, no practical knowledge on the approriate way of doing this. Just mentioning the J-B weld epoxy bond as I vaguely remember Paul Brodie repairing vintage Nukeproof carbon hubs with this epoxy in one of his YouTube videos.

Using J-B weld epoxy bond maybe?

Stolen BoTM 🥴 OK -> []

It did help, thanks. About carbon structure, maybe @yakboy and @My_Teenage_Self and their fantastic Lotus have this knowledge?

Tim, how do you restore/preserve over time the shininess of the carbon/kevlar legs?

Unfortunately no, the upper water bottle cage mount will block the seatpost insertion above the dent.

Hi, I was wondering if Ritchey was licensing the design of his P-series bikes? I know they were TIG-welded in Japan (except for the Team bikes) and finished in the U.S., most notably the seat cluster. Was the Japanese contractor a big company, able and authorized to manufacture enough bikes to...

About the brass instrument repair kit, I found it a super clever approach! I didn't knew such a thing was for real, thanks for the info. Now, the frame being steel, handling the magnet holding the ball inside the tube could be a fun thing to try out :)

From this catalogue page [1], it seems that I'm definitely missing MAVIC part 825 003. Good luck finding this spring nowadays :rolleyes:. BTW, it's the same part number than for the 1st gen. of MAVIC 825 shifters. [1] https://www.disraeligears.co.uk/site/mavic_ma2-c_-_fe_-_page_19.html

The Yeti A.R.C. frames were prone to crack at the seat tube or head tube. The early ones even more. So I would safely avoid any shim or reducer for the headset and/or seatpost.

Really nice find @danson67, many thanks.

That was fast, thanks! Was this crankset in triple configuration for MTB (or ATB as we were calling them BITD) or something else?

I can't find any threads for a grannie bolts, so supposed it's double. But I might be wrong.

There you go: No elephant, I'm afraid 😇.

Hi, Coming from the offroad side of RetroBike, I know nothing about road bikes/components. This crankset was fitted to a vintage MTB that I'm planning to restore. But I'm unable to identify the crankset brand/model. Can you help? The logo resembles the number 2 inside a gear: Besides the...
