    Information on frame kastle randonnee pro

    Wow, That's certainly very valuable information, thank you very much. I see the forks are spinners, and that would make finding them relatively easy. The bad thing is the color; it's very special. It's a very light pearl gray, very specific. I'd have to use a black one so it doesn't clash, as...

    Information on frame kastle randonnee pro

    Mine's on the waiting list; there are other bikes I need to finish first.I've been looking for the original fork, but I think it'll be mission impossible.On the other hand, I read the original Polish post, and I don't know where it said that they were pleased that a suspension fork had been...

    Information on frame kastle randonnee pro

    I think it's a very nice bike; that orange and white combination suits it very well. My frame came with a 27.2 silver Ritchey seatpost, and it may be the original, since in the image of Michael Schumacher with the Kastle model that corresponds to mine, the seatpost looks like the classic Ritchey...

    BoTM Bike of The Month August 2025 - Blue-collar Special - now taking entries

    I love Muddy Fox. I have fond memories of them, and I don't know why, I never had one. It's immaculate. I think you just found it in some forgotten store and bought it for BoTM! 🤣 Joking aside, it's beautiful, it looks brand new.

    The family grows: Marin Team Titanium '97

    3!!! Awesome I think I'm just a 1st-grade beginner Padawan. 🤣 🤣 I really consider myself lucky to have found a unit in good condition and in my size. I'm missing some details (decals, etc.), but there's no rush; it's slowly being finished.

    By the way, I pulled the red Michelin Wildgripper Hot tires in 2.1 out of the drawer for another project, but wow! I love how they look with the blue and yellow Spox tires. Maybe I'll put them on the Zaskar with the Betsy, they give a touch of the American flag (I guess I'd be really lucky to...

    I didn't want to go on vacation without adjusting the measurements and testing it. I'll make the final wheels later. So I put on some tires, pedals, and off I went. It has a very high bottom bracket. Wow, that feels weird, I'll have to get used to it. The saddle is actually a board, stiffer...

    Well, I've had some luck. Let's see, what's the percentage of chances of finding a red Ringle Moby Deux seatpost in 26.8? And of finding a Candy Red R-Seven? But I already had the R-Seven on a bike and didn't want to change it. I started looking for a new one, and a single-seat one appeared in...

    For Sale now stripping - Campagnolo Euclid full groupset

    Thanks for the tip. It's interesting to know Miche is still maintaining the tradition! But at my pace, they might last another 20 years. I have less strength than an anemic dragonfly. 😁

    For Sale now stripping - Campagnolo Euclid full groupset

    Quite a bit more uncomfortable, actually 🤣. I checked mine about 3 weeks ago and found it's not 110 BCD. A serious mistake. Fortunately, the chainrings are in good condition and will last a long time. Afterwards... Thanks for your input.

    Titus Motolite Exogrid 2008

    Today he came home to replace a broken crank on one of his bikes (he's leaving tonight on vacation; if he takes a little longer, he'd be pedaling with only his right leg for 15 days; he leaves everything to the last minute). I've already told him to dust it off and take a photo... or send me one...

    There are some beautiful bikes, but let's get to it Sakae Litage NTH Campy performance (or something like that) 😁 by Obi-Juan https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/the-lite-age.492224/

    This is what I was saying the other day: Brake levers have 3 positions for cable head placement, but brake cams also have 3 positions. This is going to be fun, too many options, half a year of testing and retesting is guaranteed. 🤣

    I saw this piece the other day and couldn't resist: Tiso and blue. I think it would go really well with the head set. Unfortunately, I only had one, but better than nothing. It arrived today and I couldn't help but run to place the piece.

    Thank you very much. I really like how it turned out, and honestly, the most incredible thing about the bike is its fantastic weight distribution. It's very well balanced; in fact, it feels lighter than it is. Honestly, when you ride it, it feels like it weighs a kilo less.

    Thanks for the comment. Well, I've always liked "hard" saddles. In the '80s, I had an Iscaselle Giro d'Italia, and that was a real rock! 🤣 I currently ride a San Marco Superleggera on the Look Ti, although it has a bit of padding, but it's similar to this Aspide. I ride a Saevid (that one is...

    Thank you very much. The brake levers are absolutely beautiful. From what I've been able to test these days while adjusting the rear brake, they are very ergonomic and have a good feel. Anyway, I need to try out some options: The levers have three positions (the "V" version, the "Canti's" only...
