Have acquired an interesting frame of little provenance. Fork has a Reynolds steerer and Campag ends - Gran Sport ones. Frame has (had) a Vitus 971 decal and Zeus dropouts - also (their) Gran Sport ones. It weighs 1890gm so the decal could be true (fork is 705g). Stays have the fattest...

Axle flats on mine aren't. Need rider quality, french or english thread as I has taps.

Just got this, would appreciate guesses...

I though I'd already posted about this, apparently not. I fix those Mafac adjusters that always break. They have a little stub that goes in the lever body, it's brass and too weak and it bends and then breaks. I take the broken ones and drill in from the bottom end and silver solder a bit of...

I make and fix stuff for bikes, I have several lathes and an old mill and such. I'm not a pro machinist but I've been playing at it for decades, that and jewelry. Anyway, on another forum a fellow asked me if I would have a go at the locknut for this shifter. I did a prototype and posted the...

I have a pair of 26 TPI forks and wanted to have alloy cartridge headsets for them. So I made a tap from another Raleigh fork and mounted on a lathe cross-slide and ran it through some alloy headset parts (24 TPI). I set the feed to 26 TPI and the thread form is pretty good, I'm going to use...

None of the rear brake hangers I could get locally were any good - too short, too heavy, too rusty, too ugly. So I started making some. These are a brass nut drilled and tapped M6x1 (common adjuster thread), silver-soldered to a bit of stainless spoke. To be clear, this is real silver-solder...

I'm after a set of 26 TPI cups for a Raleigh BB and of course they don't exist. A pair of 36mm and some time on the lathe and I'll have 'em. I have a 70mm bare cartridge that should be fine, standard bearing OD, the BB shell is 71mm.

Anodized "grey titanium", a few small nicks, partial rings from the headset. and a small rear-brake-cable rub (right side, third pic, just above headset ring) Complete and clean, still very presentable. This is the version with the setscrew used to spread the clamp so you don't mark up bars...

This is a pull from a mid-80s Motobecane tandem. It's in excellent condition, see pics. 135mm locknut spacing, 40 hole, BSC freewheel thread. Cones and cups have no - zero - pits or blemishes (I use a loupe, I hate pits). There are nice shiny smooth ball tracks, even width all around. The...

I have one of these for sale. It's been made from two levers. The actual lever on the dual cable had broken, so I removed the dual-nipple bit and installed it in the lever of the right-side housing, and installed that level in the dual housing. The levers are not the same as all the other...

I got this a *long* time ago with some other stuff. I don't know anything about Cannondales. This looks used but only barely so - dropouts show clamp marks, and the threads show a mark from a washer-tab; see pics. Has paint nicks etcetera from storage. The crown race seat measures 33.05 mm...

Most of this crankset came from a Motebecane Interclub. It was a double, and I happened to have both the 28-tooth small sprocket and the triple-length chainring bolts and some other bits from a previous encounter. It also has guard-rings for both the timing chain and the main drive sprockets...

I'm not a BMX type, but apparently the hub I'm flogging elsewhere was also used in "early BMX" It's a Maillard tandem front hub, uses the rear axle size cups, balls, and axle, barrel between the flanges is thicker than normal Maillard front hubs. Is this true and should I put an ad in the BMX...

Take off from Motobecane tandem that didn't look to have had much use. All date codes various weeks in 1982. All completely dis-assembled, cleaned, lubed, and re-assembled. Steel. No rust. Has claw hanger, pivot on the hanger is a little stiff, not sure if that's how it's supposed to be but...

Pulled these off a Motobecane tandem I'm stripping. They have no tears or nicks, and come with the special bar-end plugs you need. 15 GBP and I'll cover (cheap&slow 'cause I'm far away) postage.

Any brand, want more than one.

Ongoing resto (pics will be posted later in the readers' bike forum). Have two bakes, only two holders/shoes. Would like plain ally ones, not coloured; and with pads.
