I know nish about this, but that’s hardly revolutionary…

Dash! I’m hooked now. Plain gauge tubes and maybe actually a wishbone rear …..? 🕵️‍♂️ Am I on the right path….?

Ooooo …, fast back stays? Tange? Splatter? I’d say ….. 😎

Can confirm that they work a treat: I have Shimano shifters on a 7 sp Campag block on my roadie. Campag dural freewheel - light and drool worthy, but hard to find anything much bigger than a 25t rear cog. One for sale on eBay (not mine)

Just found I still have these.

Thanks Chaps - excellent leads there. I’d been mulling over fell running shoes, but the climbing approach thing is new to me and looks v. promising. 👍

Here’s a lush unused campag Centaur hubset in its box. 1989/1990? It’s the freewheel ‘7 spd’ version. 36h. 130mm OLN rear. Italian threaded freewheel (you can use an English thread block, or Italian, but not French). £135 posted to the U.K. Overseas at cost.

If it works, keep it - it’s massively cool … naked and sexy … ahem. Sorry nurse.

93 looks right for the big details: 3.0 frame, Pepperoni, red. 93 catalogue link The serial number seems odd compared to Vintage Cannondale info: is there another under the BB? For differences in parts vs what is stated by year, I wouldn’t get too bothered. Through the year and depending...

Yes, you can adapt a stretched out MTB with higher front and more forgiving bars. And if you are fond of a bike you’ve owned forever, it’s fun to persevere with. I went full dork with my Specialized below, but you can fine tune for what you need. Things to think about: Higher rise shorter reach...

I’m a Randonneur fan, but that Woodrup looks like a great result. 😎

So, my trusty old New Balance minimus shoes have had their day, and the abundance of choice and tech means I’m struggling to zone in on a good replacement (the latest NB won’t cut it). Any recommendations around the following requirements appreciated: For everyday riding: on road, off road...

Piccies:

That’s lovely. The pedal copperising is a nice touch: did you get those plated yourself?

Edit: correction, these are actually 32h. Eyeleted, angled, silver and light. Delightful.

Hi, I know there are few retro hi-fi types on here, so will offer this Pioneer PD-S703. Great transport with optical and co-axial digital outs; refined legato link DAC system. Works fine but no remote. £80 posted. SOLD on eBay

Love this; are you moving with it or will you leave it there and visit? (Lucky friend!).

If you’re digging on French goodies, watch out for some of the early MBKs. I had this 1987 (sadly too small) which had great tubing and was beautifully constructed: internally brazed and nice details. Very different from the gussetty welded later ones that often pop up.

So, ‘medium’ to ‘tight’ I’d say: build it as a roadie not a gravel rig. Pics are with the rear in the middle of the dropout slots. 23mm tyres. Brake drop is c. 45 at the back, 50 at the front (middle of the hole to middle of the braking track, by eye with a metal ruler). Oh, and a 130mm hub...

The more old bike pumps you have, the less time you have left ….. 😬 (Runs off to bin some in an attempt to add a few more years…)
