Hi anyone know where I can buy an 8mm rubber gromit to fill an allen key hole in my Mavic brake pivot (see picture). I have searched the web with no luck. Cheers Richard

THanks for the kind words. I have had to ditch the original 80s chain sadly it ran like a truck! HAd to buy a narrow 7 speed Shimano chain ... Not happy. IT runs like a dream now... .Anyone recommend a narrow speeds chains from the 80s? LOving the original de Gribaldy. any a more out there?

THis is looking great. An improvement on the original design. THe black chain ring and forks look good. Very stealth. Alloy bikes are fun to ride and much better than people think.

Here is my winter project. A de Gribaldy Vitus 979 - 1984 Sean Kelly, Paris Roubaix winning cobble classic replica. I bought the frame in a Sheffield cycle jumble back in October last year. It was an impulse buy. I wanted a winter project and something to ride Eroica 2017. After my Sid Mottram...

Can any one tell me how to dismantle the brake leaver from the hood and remove the cable stop on this Modolo brake - circa 1984. I have looked on the Mavic Super Pro 430 engineering drawings on a back catalogue in Velobase and they should all come apart. I need to have this re-annodised to...

Just taken it for its first ride. It was wet so less than a mile. The frame feels good. A bit like a titanium road bike. The handling was pretty tight and no over steer or wallowing in the corner. It takes a line and feels firm. Not an overly harsh ride. I am used to carbon forks and this...

Dear Creign design, thanks for your comments. the handlebars are special, but the crank is ott for rBotm. I chose it because it always wanted one and could not find a cheap double. I put gears on it for the Eroica ride. I will be turning it back to fixed when I have finished that. I some times...

Re: Well I have been working hard. Or should I say having fun. The bike is in its final stage of build. I haven't ridden it yet. Just put the bar tape on. Its once again a rare Sid Mottram ready for the road. As you know its my first retro build. It is not what I expected. I wanted to do it on...

I am going for a preservation on the paint work and toying with the best method. Tanic acid to stabalise the rust (but not to affect paint) and then a preservation wax. Or Tanic acid, a colour sand with 0000 wire wool of 2000 wet and dry to remove loose rust (staying away from decals) and then...
