    Principia Rex Pro 2000 - ex-Giro bike, Linda McCartney

    Having owed this beauty for 10 years, it's time...prompted by the fact that I'm too fat to be seen out on it! So I acquired it as an ex-pro frame (story here viewtopic.php?f=12&t=78844) and against all forum advice, stripped it and resprayed it white/red reflecting its Danish heritage... It...

    FS: Pace RC200 F7 Team - SOLD

    18" frame number F718024 As detailed elsewhere on the forum, this started life as a red 'Team Issue' Pace, but after much soul searching it was reanodised black and given a new lease of life in its current black and gold state. Short of a couple of trips on local footpaths, it really...

    The problem with retro is...

    ...that it's old... My poor Syncros seat pin gave up the ghost the morning, the noise was so loud I thought my frame had snapped... Any offers of a spare 29.4mm replacement would be gratefully accepted!!!

    FMJ feedback

    Super nice guy from the part of North America that isn't the US. Graciously sold me a countersunk Hope disc thus rescuing my Pace rebuild that was destined for go slow mode without adequate breaking! Well packaged, quick delivery and very honest with postal rates. I hope I can...

    Principia Rex Pro headset

    I've got a year 2000 Principia that I'm about to start building up with a Dura Ace groupo and Spinergy wheels. The problem is the headset is almost worn out, but appears to be a completely bizarre size. I've measured the headtube as 36.5mm, which is about 1 3/8 inch. It's also got a wider...

    What to do when someone steals your front wheel...

    With apologies for those for whom the wheels are not old enough!

    Profile Airwave aerobars

    A long shot, but here goes: I bought a set of NOS Profile Airwave bars, but they were shipped with only one mounting kit. I have emailed the seller, but he isn't responding. Does anyone have an old set of bars that I could cannibalise? Profile can't help, and having a set of mounts...

    WTD: Profile Airwave bars

    Does anyone have a old pair of Profile Airwave bars for spares? I bought a set NOS from fleabay and the numpty that sold them forgot to pack one of the armrest kits (which unfortunately also contained half the mounting bits). Have tried to contact him, but we're no longer talking... Thanks

    Hope 5-bolt rotor 185mm

    Fitting a pair of RC31s to my Pace meant I had to get a new C2 caliper, which means my front disc is too small. Does anyone have a 185mm HBSP43 disc - I could swap the 155mm original and/or the 170mm currently fitted. Thanks

    Ex-pro race Principia rebuild

    Nearing the end of a Pace RC200 rebuild, I was looking for my winter project. I've just bought a year 2000 Principia Rex Pro, part of the Linda McCartney pro race team. As they didn't do replicas this must have been a team bike. While the frame/forks are sound, the former is quite tatty...

    WTD: SRAM X0 Rear Mech Nugget Gold...

    I know it's not retro, but will look great on my black RC200... Cheapest price I've seen is £144 from Chain Reaction. Cheeky question, but does anyone have a tame dealer that gives retro enthusiasts good discounts? Thanks

    Corroded seat post

    Just discovered an exceedingly nice colleague who has lent me his not-often used RC200 F5 while mine comes back from being re-anodised and is rebuilt. The problem is, in the 9+ years it has languished in his shed the Syncros seat post has well and truly corroded into the frame. I read on...

    SRAM/Shimano compatibility

    I have read of the incompatibility of these two manufacturers because of the shifting ratio, but am left somewhat confused... I have ESP 9.0 Gripshift and love them, but am looking to change the carbon 9.0 rear mech and 7.0 front mech, which while perfectly functional are looking tired. I am...

    Rusted steerer tube

    Finally managed to remove my RC36s to find the steerer very rusted. Judging by the hex bolts on the crown, the steerer tube can be replaced - is my assumption correct? Is there anyway of stopping it happening again?

    Custom Colour Anodising

    Has anyone any experience of using this firm in Barnoldswick (AKA Barlick) in Lancs. Seem like a nice couple of guys on the phone, and seem to know what they're taking about with refurbing stripping/re-anodising parts. Thanks Adam
