    Chesini Innovation frame 52cm CTT VGC

    Here's a shameless plug for the frame that I currently have listed on eBay. It's in beautiful shape - refinished by Chesini before I bought it. Please have a look. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Chesini-Inno ... 3622063946 Thanks! HW

    It's been a while since I dropped in here, but viewing this listing description https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-Carl ... Sws5BaZ1Yu made me laugh. Takes 'bicycle porn' to a whole new level ! And I thought I had no life! :shock:

    Painting dry tubular walls with liquid latex? Advice? Ideas?

    I've got a number of nice but old tubulars where the once-tan walls have dried, turned white where the latex has rubbed off and the fabric fibres can now be seen and felt. I'm wondering if a paint over with liquid latex would rejuvenate these and protect the sidewall fibres from wet and wear...

    Italian BBs: Can I use an English BB axle in there?

    I've just bought my first Italian retro bike, a gorgeous Chesini Innovation I have most of the necessary pieces (C Record and CDA mix), but my go-to Italian BB has a 115 mm axle - just a tad long. I have a couple of NR spare BBs, but in English sizes, but they have a 111 axle. Are English and...

    Storing Wheels? How do you do this?

    I have several pairs of road wheels in the loft and storing them tidily is driving me to distraction! They are balanced on the floor in a line at the moment, resting against a wall with hubs offset, but it's a very delicate arrangement and the slightest movement means they all fall into a heap...

    Another frame what is it? 1970s Holdsworth? Mercian? Denton?

    Well I landed this frame from eBay this week. Some of you may have seen the listing. Should have bought it last week when it failed to sell at the opening bid :!: . Never mind, I reasoned that anyone prepared to have Argos respray this in a rather complex scheme must have thought the frame was...

    TA 5 pin single chainring 44 or 45 teeth wanted

    As the title says; I'm looking for a TA chainring in this style (cranks not needed). It will used as a single, so I'm looking to avoid the drilled holes in Criterium or Cyclotourist rings for inners. Nice and shiny please (NOS would be even better). Happy to buy or trade HW

    BB choice for a 1963 H Quinn with a perforated BB shell?

    This might sound like a fairly easily sorted question, but what type of BB (cartridge or traditional axle and bearings) would people recommend installing when the BB shell is perforated (and thus would allow water/grit ingress). I'm leaning towards installing a cartridge type on practical...

    Wanted: Clarks coloured teflon coated Rear Mech cable in red

    Title says it all really. I've changed the rear derailleur on my 1980ish Denton and now need a longer rear cable than I previously used. I have a pair of Clarks (teflon?) coated cables in this sort of orange/red colour and would be grateful if I could source a replacement. Happy to buy or...
