I finally finished my 1963 Falcon San Remo (it's the standard San Remo not the Equipe). Thus 531 butted tubing (not double butted). I bought it on ebay a few years ago from a guy in Walsall who owned it since he was 17. He bought it 2nd hand in 1968 from Bob Mansell cycle shop in Walsall, after...

Hi, I am very keen to get hold of a downtube Campagnolo #626/A cable guide in good condition. Needed for a front mech without a cable stop. Would consider a Huret version also, but the Campag is visually a bit nicer. What have you got? Thanks

Hi, a few years ago I bought a resprayed Bill Nickson road bike in order to do LEJOG. Did that, and really enjoyed the ride and the bike. Trouble is that the seat tube by the bottom bracket has now rusted through (water in the seat tube, despite me squirting lots of waxoyl down there). The bike...
