    Bertin ‘Course’ trying to sell

    You reckon? It's a Columbus Genius frame

    Sakae Royale

    Interesting if a little confusing. I've seen apex chainsets - some with a forged crank and silky anodising; and some with a pressed crank spider and less classy anodising

    ai and us

    Yeh, back to my son and his AI prophesies (for what they're worth?), he did say that because of the capabilities and speed at which AI is progressing, he envisages very few people working as we know it within the next generation. He's mid 20s, works as a software engineer and doesn't see himself...

    Thick as Thieves

    Probably more to do with getting intelligence for a shed breaking gang than looking for your bikes. Hell , maybe a prominent councillor lives in the vicinity and has pressured the local superintendent

    Sakae Royale

    SR Royal was well made and like you say, nicely coated. Standard SR was functional but rough

    Wanted Long cage 1980s rear mech

    Is that the same butler from On The Buses?

    ai and us

    My eldest works in IT and was trying to tell me about AI. Unfortunately for him, I'm not really into tech, so the conversation was a short one. But during that conversation, like most in here, I said that ai has no use. Fake news, a mock-up of an e-type merged with a cortina etc ..... all...

    Wanted Concor San Marco saddle

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

    The anecdote of guimard doping riders unknowingly with bottles is a bit naughty. Below the belt if I'm honest. It's one thing a rider doping with his own decision and consent but for someone else to possibly tarnish a person's reputation, career and self worth without him having any knowledge...

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

    Too long to hold my attention unfortunately. (That's not dissing your post, I just can't do it) But his chequered past is not news, it's been floating about on social media since he took charge of UAE

    Wanted Single rim or pair Mavic SSC blue NOS confition

    They were the ones for me back in the day. Although the SSC greys were a rung up, they looked too much like GP4s, whereas the blues were rarer and distinctive. Never had any though, GP4s were as far as I got

    Best Paint Finish Ever

    Never been a fan of chromovaleto. A bit too over the top for me personally, although it does denote a premium bike. But the main fault is, it soon flakes off. Probably fine for a showbike, but not durable enough for a rider ..... and once it flakes it looks past it's best

    COLNAGO MAPEI HELP

    Do you think it's had a respray, or at least a front end respray, which would expect a good match with the faux forks. I ask because didn't they all have chromed head lugs like the one below

    Road bike brake lever position

    I think it looks right when the bottom of the bars are horizontal (or near). Then fit the levers to suit. But there's the problem. Older deeper bars don't allow for a good ergonomic lever position. To me, modern bars with a shallower drop have been a revelation

    Wanted Wanted tidy 3x7 or 3x8 road STI levers

    Never had v brakes, but thought they require more cable pull than cantis

    Wanted debut bike. HELP!

    If I were locking a bike up in London, I'd go for something that looks tired, disheveled and lots of patina or rattlecan. Nothing to stop it being a mechanically competent thoroughbred underneath , but definitely something that doesn't catch the eye
