    Could you give me some info on a Gitane?

    I've been looking for a new project after spending way too much time and money on restoring an old Colnago. Now I found a Gitane for not much money from a local seller that looks nice, but I don't have much knowledge of the brand and its potential "quirks". Is a French BB to be expected for...

    90's Record brifters compatible with "new" brakes?

    Was thinking about maybe upgrading the brake calipers on my bike with 8-speed Record. While it's of course nice to keep everything period correct, this bike is going to be a user, and modern brakes are almost always better. Would it be possible to use a more current set of campag calipers with...

    Phil Wood ITA bottom bracket - chain line?

    Hopefully someone can help me out with this. I've mounted a brand new Phil Wood square taper BB with the ITA cartridge cups on a Colnago Master I'm restoring. Because of the way the BB and the cups are constructed, you are basically able to position the thing any way you want inside the shell...

    Record "Titanium" 8-speed levers?

    Does anyone know if the Campag Record "Titanium" 8-speed Ergopower levers is compatible with older 8-speed derailleurs? I know the Titanium groupset uses a different cassette and body from the other, older 8-speed Record groups, so want to make sure the levers I found will work with the other...

    "AS"-marking on Campagnolo chainrings?

    Most older Campag outer chainrings are marked for example "52/39", indicating the number of teeth and the most suitable inner ring. However, there are also some that are marked for example "52 AS". Does anyone know what the "AS" stand for?

    Campag "rear derailleur cage return spring" tension setting?

    I was cleaning an 8-speed Record rear derailleur the other day and removed the cage among other things. When I assembled it afterwards, I noticed there where two holes where you could put the end of the return spring to either increase or decrease the tension. I didn't pay attention to where is...

    Stripped thread for BB cable guide

    I was just about to mount a new plastic cable guide under the BB on the 90's Colnago Master Olympic I'm currently restoring and noticed the thread was completely stripped. There was pretty much a smooth round hole. I was thinking maybe getting a thread tap and make an M6 thread instead of the...

    8-speed Campag pulley wheels?

    I was planning on replacing the pulley wheels on the 90's Colnago Master Olympic with Campag Record I'm currently restoring, but I'm a little confused about which ones to get. There is an easily available version called RD-RE500 that I bought that's supposed to be for 8-speed derailleurs, but...

    How "good" are the Chorus Monoplaner brakes?

    I'm restoring a Colnago that came with the mid 90's dual pivot Record brakes. However, I'm thinking about replacing them with a pair of Chorus Monoplaners (if I can find some in good condition for a fair price), simply because I think they are among the most beautiful bike components ever made...

    8-speed Campy hubs, what have I bought?

    I happened to come across a NOS 8-speed Record hub set that I'm planning on using for a new wheel build for an old Colnago. I spent quite a lot of money on them, but I really wanted to be certain that the hubs were in perfect condition before I stuck them on a nice new pair of wheels, so I was...

    Size advice?

    I am just in the process of getting my first "traditional" geometry frame and would really appreciate some advice regarding size. After only having modern carbon bikes for many years, I am now going to get the bike of my dreams; a Colnago Master. Haven't quite decided yet whether to go...
