Hello 'mtrying to find out what the thread is on the brazed on gear lever boss on my '52 Claud Butler USWB tandem. Any ideas ?

Hi I'm currently building up a tandem using a 1952 Claud Butler frame. At some point it has had cantilever bosses installed & I'm trying to work out what the thread is to get some replacement bolts. It's definitely not an M6 like is used today for cantilever brakes. Anyone got any ideas ?

Hi, I have this OLMO that I restored. it's made of ORIO tubing 56cm. I've ridden it twice since having the frame powder coated. It's all Campagnolo (Mirage, Centaur, Veloce)apart from the seat pin & the headset. The problem is it's just a bit small for me. I have been toying with the idea...

I'm wanting a 28 hole tubular rim. A Mavic GP4 would be ideal to match the other wheel, but others considered. Must be in good nick.

Just wondering how much difference there is between a 700c & an old school 27" sprint rim. I'm using an old pair of wheels for general riding that have 27" rims. & I'm looking at putting a better pair together for some fun entering a few time trials. If I were to opt for some 700c wheels...

As it says in the title. I have been intending to re do the bearings on my old Campagnolo Gran Sport hubs, hence my previous thread asking about the ball bearing size. I stripped the hub down just now & to my horror there is some bad pitting on the cone part of the bearing that fits on the...

Simple question as stated in the title....
