I'm totally inept at these chain links. Can't get on with them. I've never mounted one properly but had the displeasure and lack of patience to get rid of them when buying bikes. I'm also totally inept at this Shimano must use the special pin from what 9 or 10 speed onwards otherwise the...

Not sure I actually understand this. Can you expand?

WTF. Campag are really slipping behind. Haven't they bothered upgrading it to be re-chargeable, wireless and Android / iOS compatible yet?

🤔 It could be argued Campag is already entrenched in a (fastly shrinking?) niche market segment. Pro-road racers and wanna be pro-road racers is pretty niche. The track stuff must be even more niche. For their gravel excursion; how this can work out having limited MTB XC experience and scale...

Just to zoom in again, I don't think - read understatement - I will be lined up to purchase this. I am guessing, this is from about 93 - 94 but not sure at all. The 5.5" head-tube says a lot. Pretty sure those Pace forks are well suited. Just compared a few geometry things to a DBR Ti I sold...

Sadly, if the vultures swarm in this will happen. Sold overseas with all the marketing "powder in the eyes" rhetoric. Transformed to something purchased rather than earned with know and experience over a long period. Let's not forget this company was a subcontractor to NASA. As for bike .... I...

👍 Some interesting comments. Not going down the product "this and that" - the financials of Campag have for many many many years been a fraction of Shimano. While they are still in business of a sort, it will be a shame to see them off the cycling map. Probably the brand name, human assets...

Cheers @Walterscot - OK so 22.5." Effective horizontal a bit longer but could be in the ball park for me. The write up / review gives a few extra dimensions. It will be a fast frame. Do you know what year this is?

Thanks for the heads-up. It's a beauty and one on the lifetime list. Too big for me though ... all though no harm in asking @Walterscot what the top-tube c-2-c is - at a guess 23 1/2 or even 23 3/4"?

So finally, that is the benefit of internal cables? Cables keep it "almost" together after numpties have put holes in tubes? My father told me not all progress is good :D

I kind of clicked on this thinking the BBC haven't reported a railway extension.

👍 One of the best months. For sure the entries count above all, but there is also something in the beauty of this month. Always enjoy well presented entries and also like to throw off a vote to an underdog in hope. It's nice to see them all together and realise they are all great bikes.

An affidavit concerning a urine sample before a public Notary will be next.

Yes, as far as platforms go, in short - any customer - so read anyone signed up. As for financial institutions most notably like banks, Ebay payment services, or PP be it in the UK or Luxembourg, etc. etc. etc. etc. it's now almost absurd. At any moment for any transaction for any amount self...

Not that I want to be the devils advocate. I've posted about this before. https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/ebay-found-a-new-way-to-screw-with-buyers.496957/page-5#post-3803146 The roll-out plan is EUR zone first, the SEPA connected countries with foreign currencies second. I am surprised...
