Re: Thanks stringfellow. Tried to be realistic about the price.... And I don't have any fees to cover here :)

Re: Just checked eBay....sellers charges are ridiculous! And Gumtree looks like a hive for stolen bikes so unlikely to find the target audience there. If anyone has any suggestions as to how I can sell this it would be appreciated. (shameless attempt to bump) :oops:

Been putting it off, but finally decided to let go. Concorde frame (Carbon-Fibre tubes/Ali lugs) - 60cm frame, 57cm top tube Full Dura Ace 7400 8spd group (Gears, brakes, Chainset, BB, hubs, headset, seat post) Campag Black V-section rims (sorry!) Cinelli stem & Crit bars (65-42) Gearing...

Whoa! So many options! :shock: I don't think I will tackle rebuilding a wheel and I don't want to pay for it either. I dont even know how much ill use it yet!! For now, I will just go with the easy option and straight swap the 5speed with a single speed and see how that goes. Thanks for...

I didnt even realise that you could get "freewheel spacers" but just searched on ebay and loads of results!! Great, thanks for your advice. And searching on ebay, looks like i can get the freewheel i need for about a fiver so thats good. Thanks for your help. Rob

I picked up an old bike from ebay, with the intention of doing it up and using it as a winter/tourer. Alas, it just wasnt good enough for that but I dont want to waste it so i'm going to turn it into a single speed bike. Never had a fixie/single speed before so I have a few things i'm not...

Hi all. Building an old steel bike as a "project". Bought a broken old thing for £25 and going to try and build as a single speed/fixie. Managed to pick up most of what i need from eBay but forks seem to be quite expensive (or rare!). Anyone got an old set of threaded forks they want...

I've found a pair of dura ace levers now but really appreciate your replies . Thanks anyway Rob

Hi. Thanks for the offer of the 105 sti levers I really want to stick with dura ace as thats what the rest of the bike is but as they are quite rare, i'd consider the 105s if I don't get any luck. Can you pm me the details? (Price etc) Thanks Rob

Just got outbid on ebay for a lovely set of duraace 7400 first gen sti levers. Anyone got any they want to sell?

Was that really a genuine auction bid? If it was, that seller must be laughing his head off. There was no details of the components and the picture was not good enough quality to see it but from what I could tell, it looked really low end stuff. I know Bianchi frames are nice, but I don't...

there you go...my point exactly ! :)

My friend also has one of the TdF frames and has recently managed to complete it:

Re: Look behind you.... It is. Well spotted....I didnt notice it until I looked at the photo afterwards. I thought it was a Carbon frame....I walked back to check! :D (It was just off Oxford street)

obviously its personal preference, but IMO, bars & saddle have to match and white cork tape is usually my first choice. Although on your bike, a natural leather/tan colour would probably make it look really nice if you want to make it look even more old school. :D Rob

any close up pics? :D

Looks like Cinelli xa stem and criterium bars. If they were on it originally, then i'd agree with "otherself" and say some time in the 80's. They were the bar & stem I was desperately saving up for as a teenager :D

As i was strolling to work today, this "Pinarello" caught my eye - it looked too nice to risk leaving by the side of the road - even with those locks on! Ignore those crappy pedals, this little baby has Dura Ace 7400 group (including the 1st gen STI levers), Campag rims and carbon forks...

Thanks Andy. I wasn't sure what the jumps should be. I figured a jump of 2 would be OK although perhaps only when it gets to the bigger sprockets. Thanks for the offer of the 23T. I'm checking out ebay to see what I can get - if i have to buy a whole new cassette with all the sprockets I...

Hi All, Big thank you to everyone posting information. It was indeed an 8 speed uniglide cassette. I know some of you will be saying "I told you so" , but there were so many opinions, I didnt know which ones were right! :) (Also, big thanks to the nice young man at Halfords who let me...
