A nice 1983 ish Bianchi I picked up recently. Doesn't look like its done many miles

Hi as per the title, I need an 8 speed UG cassette in VVGC or NOS. Ideally 26t largest gear. I can either pay cash or trade a NOS HG 8 speed cassette 13-26

Some will consider a cardinal sin, but going to build this Specialissima with 8 speed DA. I've had most of the parts for a couple of years waiting for a nice British fame (maybe TI Raleigh) I bought this frame last year that had been really badly painted. I tried to get on with it but then bit...

As per the title, the Retro Ronde van Vlaanderen in Flanders is in a week. Any members going?

Started to build up a frame tonight with a Chorus headset. The frame is a 1988 Bianchi. Looks like the steerer has previously cut for a headset with a lower stack height. After the screwed race I have a couple of threads so I guess I’m 5mm or so short. Are there any Chorus or C Record era...

can anyone tell me what this tool from the master toolkit is/does?

Picked this up filthy today from a cycle jumble. I assume it’s either Chorus, CDA or maybe Athena but it’s different from the chorus I have as it has less of a dog leg on the arms.
