Hi Eppie - I am not sorted, and still interested. Please send the pictures. ThanksGreg

Hi again guys - my post got lost in the traffic....! I'm looking for 80's rims for a Paletti Luciano. Gipiemme, Mavic, FIR Please let me know if anyone has anything. Thanks, Greg.

Love the Atlanta's Warren, but would like something a little older for the Paletti.

Hi guys I have an 80's Paletti Luciano with full Shimano 600. It's a lovely bike, and I'll shortly put up some pics, for those of you who didn't see the original pics I put up 5 years ago. I am looking for two things please: 1. Information on where I can get the frame re chromed. 2. A set of rims from that period - Gipiemme, Mavic, FIR. I have considered Campy, and indeed actually have an Omega on it at the moment, but it seems odd to have Campy rims on a bike with a full Shimano 600 group set. I'd be very grateful for any help available. Thanks Greg

Er... Ok, but then if I want to buy, tell me that you would like to wait a few days to find a local buyer if possible, and you'll call me if you don't manage to do that. At least then I know where I stand. But don't be a tjop and say you'll sell to me, and then just drop me for a local chap. To my mind, we just need to try and be open with one another, and, as someone said earlier, treat each other as we'd like to be treated. So true....

Wrong. You committed to buyer 1 at R8500 and need to give him at least a chance to pay the deposit. Tell him how long - 24 hours, maybe?

I'm in line with Kletterer. Eat well, sleep well. Gargle with salt and warm water when you feel something going on. Keep going 'til it hopefully goes. Salt seems to kill the bugs, and is great for sore throats. Doesn't taste great, though. The KEY, in my view: wash your hands as often as you can - when training for an ultra event, I might do it 10 or 12 times a day. DON'T touch your eyes, nose, or mouth with your hands... I drive my wife nuts when I rub my itchy nose on my sleeve!! Haven't had anything more serious than a slight sniffle for many years, and have done some heavy training in that time. Good luck finding what works for you....

Thanks Owen.

Hi guys and gals Does anyone know anything about this make of bike? It is definitely Italian hand made, but I am struggling to find anything on the web (as I don't read Italian!!) It has a signature (Paletti Luciano) on the frame. Specifically, does it have any kind of collector's value? The one I am looking at is a steel frame, lugged, and fully kitted from front to back with Shimano 600, 8 spd. Grateful for any help Greg.

Hi Guys I am thinking of buying these from another hubber. I have seen some negative reviews on the net concerning early failure of the straps. Can anyone comment from personal experience as to whether these are good shoes? Many thanks
