@Nob I think that's a good shout. No headbadge: torn/removed unfortunately. Bike now sold by owner but he thinks it came from a local NW UK based time trialist (female) so could well tie-in. Thanks.

Yes thanks, it has a Mavic SSC groupset, which the owner is aware of. I was hoping to let them know some info on the maker if I could find that out for them- but nothing obvious coming via online searches and like you, it's not a brand I know, but it's a high end frame!

Would be grateful for any info on this frame (brand/builder/bike shop?), branded Centaur and made from Columbus EL. It features a rear monostay and aero profile columbus forks. Original wheels included the smaller 650 front wheel set-up. Thanks

No, it's clearly the added value of the Cheltenham bike sticker (my childhood bike shop, Williams on Portland St)!

Would be interested at the right price, though prefer those that have been taped vs glued as they will adhere better second time around since I use Tufo tape.

Too narrow thanks, looking for better cushioning ( I know, I'm very fussy!)

Thanks- I had seen the Strada Tubulars at Decathlon, good price but mixed reviews on roundness and quality: they are incorrectly described ref being latex (opinion is that they aren't).

Thanks, but looking for amber wall.

Yes interested: is it 700c x 25mm and amber (tan) walled? If yes, please post pics. Thanks

Though not quite as cratered as my local potholed ride route: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/02/07/residents-road-with-174-potholes-rename-village-wrenbury/#:~:text=Residents%20have%20renamed%20their%20village,vehicles%20%E2%80%93%20and%20your%20soul%E2%80%9D.

Was a satisfying 'fix' and saved c.£50 (after taking account of needing another chain whip) and hopefully with those really detailed articles to refer to, others might feel more confident in tackling too!

If you can find Mavic Pro/ Ambrosio Excellight clincher 32/36h rims with 6/7 Speed hubs, that's a nice marriage...modern clincher lightweight rims, nice retro look, compatible with Super Record era etc with the comfort of today's wider clincher tyres. But they'll be pricey as someone bothered to...

If you have tubular wheels, you don't have much choice but to... ;)

@Woz @pigman @jim haseltine Thanks for your help and the links as to how to do this. I found a bike shop in France that sells NOS cogs as singles/doubles etc. including a 13t & 14t double and doesn't charge the earth for postage (buying direct was cheaper than eBay). Drop me a line if you want a...

Tig welded, not lugged?

Week 9 and final bike: Tommasini Tecno. So this is my ‘one ring to rule them all’ moment! My go-to bike whenever its dry. It’s the best steel bike I’ve ridden: the frame soaks up every bump, yet the feel is taut like a bow string. If you’ve ever driven a well-balanced sports- car or sailed in a...

Thank you!
