    Stupid ? Of the Month (a perpetual thread!)

    There are no stupid questions. Regarding old school, loose bearing BB's, I mix and match and do a lot of unorthodox things to get them to work. For instance, on my Benotto the BB has a Campy cup, a Gipiemme cup and a Shimano axle, but it works. I would try flipping your axle and see.

    Revelations about the past of Mauro Gianetti, Pogacar’s Manager (Radio France Investigation, Translation in post)

    Yup, sorry to hijack this thread, but the 'olden days' of MC racing were great. When I'm depressed I like to watch the 1999 Ulster GP and our favourite Irishman, Joey Dunlop, clobbering the young guys on an 'obsolete' RC45.

    Vintage Bianchi from 1920 to 1990

    That looks pretty darn interesting. And the name 'Rademacher' is pretty appropriate for a vintage bike guy!

    Agreed, glad they haven't shut that one down yet. And some of the Irish road racing stuff is pretty great.

    MotoGP has become a de facto spec series, You need to watch Moto3 or WSBK to see any real racing, or check out people like Lawson, Schwantz, Rainey, Doohan et al to get your fix.

    That's like me, I watch reruns of the 500cc MotoGP golden era races, as the modern version is so incredibly boring.

    RARE SOFTRIDE SOLO 7005 POWERCURVE USA VINTAGE ROAD BIKE (sellers words not mine)

    Not rare, and regarded as 'weird' by most people. I had one of these in aluminum, got rid of it and now have what could be construed as a rare variant, a Columbus steel version with a stiletto fork.

    Merckx titanium AX

    Looks great, it's amazing how many fingers Litespeed had in the proverbial pies.
