Been wondering about this for some time. Is there a name for this style of fork crown like the Columbus Matrix one below? It's neither traditionally lugged, nor classic unicrown. IMO it's the nicest match for non-lugged steel frames. Any known moniker for this crown? Thanks. Been

Built myself a bike on this same frame https://www.flickr.com/photos/paste/2692629464 (not my flickr). Quite perfect for commuting with its mid-range brakes making room for fenders. Only missing a crank at this point. I'm running 1x10 with a downtube shifter, my commute is quite flat, but often...

Looking for a vintage road(-ish) frameset for medium reach brakes (47-57mm). Unfortunately most sellers don't specify that (and most framesets seem to be for short reach anyway). What are nice frames to look for? If a frame has fender eyelets, does that mean it's usually more than short reach...

Background: my new work site is like 2h away on the train. Good news: I don't need to go every day and there's some great countryside terrain in between here and there. Also no problem splitting the distance between train and bike. So it's time to build a nice commuter / touring bike. Naturally...

Hello, sorry I am a bit of a clean slate when it comes to vintage parts. Could anyone provide a pointer or instructions for removing this BB? I have the 3 different spanners (the one with pins and one with teeth for non-drive side, and the "36" one for DS). What order do the parts come off, and...

Hello. I have an olive green 1994 Stumpjumper frame on the stand. No original fork, so I got myself a Kuwahara one to try, but the head angle looks way too flat/slack when comparing to the lovely builds here. Could anyone give a hint/estimation of what the fork should be like for close to...

Edit: oops that went in the wrong place. Any chance to get this in the regular 1998 topic? Hello, could you give me any pointers which steel frames have really generous tyre clearance? Basically my criteria are steel, clearance, 1 1/8 headset, and not aggressively sloped if possible. Here is...

Could anyone share some info about what sets the CD2 apart from the regular Mach 2 tubular? Read somewhere the CD2 had double eyelets, anything else? Looking to get me some more alu tubs.

Can anyone help me out which (Columbus) fork or tube set this is? Thinking the semi-sloping crown and lug-lessness would be the perfect match for my modern tig steel frame.

Looking at buying a Rossin Performance frame, much like the one pictured below. One with the fat/profiled downtube, there seem to be various models with round downtubes also. Frame is NOS, so that's not a concern really, but I'd be interested in any additional info about this frame and its...

Looking to build a steel aero bike. Anyone got an extra frame, 56cm (ish) top tube? 90s era preferred. Intended for riding/racing, please no silly expensive collector pieces.

Been looking for a Columbus Max bike to come my way for some time. This one here is said to be one, but it does not look as ovalised as other Max frames I've seen. (The fork on this one certainly seems to be something else) Is it just the viewing angle? Found another Mazza Team 94 on the web...

I have inadvertedly become owner of a CAAD4 Silk Road Saeco frame, sans fork. Serial number indicates year 2001. Now, is there any way to run a regular fork with this frame, an adapter of sorts? Both diameter and height would have to be shimmed to retain original geometry. Alternatively I might...

Looking for a spare Cannondale Si NDS arm, 175mm long. Hollowgram would work also. Thanks.

Bought a CAAD4 Saeco frame for 100 (sans fork). Maybe not very wise, but I've been pondering a CAAD for some time. Build will use mostly use parts from late 00s era. Question is, which fork? Original forks are quite scarce. Newer model forks (CAAD9) are rare but not entirely unavailable. Thanks...

Subject says it all. Looking for a "segmented" style fork, or something akin to a Pace RC30, with 1 1/8 steerer and 400-420mm axle-crown height. Thanks in advance.

Good day, having messed around with various road, cx and in-between builds over the years, I'm looking at my first retro mtb project. With a 94 Stumpy FS I got a frame to my liking, from the era I started riding offroad on an old rigid Peugeot. The thing is, this originally came with a...

Looking for silver Deda Speciale 31 or Newton (Shallow or Deep) handlebars. 42cm outside-outside seems to be the smallest common Deda size, this is the one I'm after. Thanks for reading.

This year I want to build an old Ti road frame into a lightweight tourer, gravel, and errands bike. The plan is to run 650b x 38mm tyres or so. Can anyone recommend a 1" threadless fork that either - is of road-ish nature, but wide enough to take bigger tyres, and could be used with long reach...

Slowly starting to look around for parts to build up my Colnago Master Piu. Period correctness would be great, if it's not all too expensive, so I'm wondering, when the first year of the straight chromed Precisa forks might have been. (Campagnolo Record) 7 speed or 8 speed era? Many thanks.
