That lot should cater for one or two builds! Result on the cable guide too. 💪

Its a lot.. but fair play for committing to the theme! :D Its what that stripy Grammo was made for! Matched cages and a downward tweak on the bar angle would be my only changes. Did you drill the outer chainring to fit the Starfish bolt pattern?

Holy thread resurrection Batman. Jumped back on this project now the weather is finally improving! First up I dusted the frame and replaced the cheap replacement 'Vitus 992' blue fork stickers I had on before. These new ones are proper foil stickers and a very good match to the originals. The...

What a lovely build. The paint, both colour choice and finish is fantastic. Your component choice and detailing with the saddle and cable colours is also spot on.

Beautiful bike! And look at that view.... 🤓

Very nice. A chap at my work has a similar (but very battered) Diamant frame, also in TSX. I'd never seen a TSX tubed frame in person before. Lovely to see how good it could look 😁

Urs Freuler, what a mighty tash! Interesting extended headtube on his machine there. I prefer the full stripe 'bank robber' kit Atala used, a striking look. The kit, the moustache, the bike with double discs... The beautiful Ofmega crankset.. what's not to like?!

Amazing. Thanks for the link. I had a feeling it would be something like this!

An impressive restoration of this old beauty. Some fantastic solid engineering in that old gearbox too.

I guess because its not being clamped by the stem as normal it doesn't matter.. The lower part of the shock assembly presumably acts like a tall compression plug that pushes out on the inside of the steerer tube, mostly below the slotted section. Well made video on setting up this system and...

ChromeChainstay can call a halt to this ... But in the meantime here's a couple more 😉 Edinburgh-Liverpool records again!

Another soggy tandem crew from the same event! No caption for them 😔 And here's Mr Earnshaw from the previous page completing his ride.

Love this tandem shot.

I recently inherited my granddad's scrapbook from the late 30s/early WW2 period. It has plenty of photos of motor racing and military aircraft (he was an RAF fitter and a lifelong F1 fan), but also a few pages of cycle racing scraps he collected. This thread seemed like a good spot to post some...

Your main options for quality, well performing deeper drop caliper brakes are TRP RG 957s, Velo Orange's Grand Cru calipers and Shimano BR 451s. RG 957s are excellent from many thousands of miles of personal experience! They are all (as far as I know) for modern top hat style Allen fittings...

Hi folks, I bought some of these old Ofmega shifters recently, mint but sadly missing the washers shown in red in the image below. I think they are very similar to some Campag and possibly Dia Compe shifters of the time, so if anyone has any of the keyed thin washers or the others in your parts...

Wonderful thread, thanks for bumping it. Lovely work giving it your own little twists.

As the title says... I am after a pair of 80s Universal AER brakes in good condition (and possibly levers too). Let me know if you have some.

Bump! I've got some of these now but still after a front derailleur. Also Ofmega hubs, a BB and a headset, although I don't think they exist as Premier, so let me know what you have. 😉
