HeyYou

Absolute beauts, you're one lucky loosecog!

I remember EXOCET road bikes from the early/mid 80s, just after the Falkland war. Not sure of their provenance, but Morph is probably right, I seem to recall them as being local.

Has anyone tried the local streaming services??? vidi.co.za pushplay.co.za I'm interested to know what they are like. Are they worth the $? Quite a lot more than some of the international offerings!

prednisone I do and have used it for: gout asthma water on the knee edit: I think hayfever too

Whether you can ask them anything I wouldn't know, I've never bought from them! But, no one asking them to break the law, unless labelling tools used for repairing bicycles as bicycle parts is breaking the law. Perhaps it is, in which case BICYCLE TOOLS.

Perhaps ask them to mark them as BICYCLE SPARE PARTS

I've asked Tyerone to make me up a set of decals for a GIOS TORINO. Does anyone have one that we can get the font size /lettering measurements from??? Searched the interwebs, but not found anything, other than decal sets.

Nowhere near the numbers and nowhere near the quality, but I was thinking today about this obsession!!!! Goodness knows how much I've spent on gear and brake cables! Cable housing? How much on cable ends? Rim tape? OLD tyres and new tubes? Saddles? Tools? and then there's the really expensive stuff. THIS IS NOT A CHEAP OBSESSION.

To add fuel to the fire! The BB is Italian threaded, suggesting it's not French, at least LOOK or VITUS. As far as I know, both of these use English thread BBs. Other than Alan and Colnago (which it ain't) anyone know of other early Italian lugged carbon frames?

Thanks Morph, but it sort of adds to the mystery. I must be honest and say that I don't remember them at all, but then I lived and cycled in PE and, as I recall, we only had 3 bike shops: Cyclo Pro & BMX Coimbra Action Cycling (late 80s) all still around too, which is cool. But I digress, I wonder where / who they imported them from? Perhaps they were Alans!!!

I searched LOOK images too, nada. Maybe I'll search Peugeot carbon.

Ja, could be, except can't find hide nor hair of anything bicycle related (other tan Mosquito bike shop)!!!!

CONUNDRUM Can anyone shed any light, please??? Bought this from RadBaby, as an ALAN Carbonio AND NO, THIS IS NOT A MOAN ABOUT THAT, RadBaby and I have a great relationship, so there's no problem. I just want to find out what this is. It has ALAN forks. It does not have a seat post binding bolt, it uses a quill seat post. This is a French seat post and the cable guide under the BB shell says MADE IN FRANCE! OK, so now? Alan BB shells are always stamped, to my knowledge anyway. This one is not! The lugs do not look Alan type, especially the rear drop outs. I can't find any records of Alan's not using seat post binding bolts. Vitus Carbone 3 plus used a quill seat post. But, the lugs don't look Vitus like either, note the double lugged head tube, Alan like, but not Vitus like. Anyone have any ideas??????? For those of you that are better googlers than I, find anything?

What a cool idea!!!!! I have a 787. Might do it! Wrap the frame in carbon vinyl.

Thanks W. NOW TO FIND SOME REPLACEMENT CABLE GUIDES / STOPS ANYONE HAVE ANY????????

HELP ..... anyone with any ideas? The brake cable guides on my C40 are/were very corroded, as seen in the pics. Two have disintegrated and are file 13 material. They appear to have been pop riveted into the carbon. I'm unlikely to get original replacements, but I can probably get Cannondale, or similar ones. Questions: What's the best way to remove the remaining pop rivets? Should I pop rivet again, or epoxy? Your thoughts and advice are appreciated.

Thanks Morph. Guy I bought them from has put 10spd on, but lock ring still there!!!! I bought a couple a while ago from Europe, cause I needed others.

Can anyone help ID what model Bora's these are???? The manual says 9 spd, but there is no model name. Aluminium brake surface.

Do you mean you are the one that got it??????

Oh well!!!! I thought the seller and I had a deal, appeared so, but then he decided to sell to someone else. What a pity, I missed it. https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/126431-daccordi-1988-50th-anniversary-frame-and-fork/ Hope whomever got it appreciates it.

Watching on my Android tab, on SkySports World Cup, in HD!

so mid to late 1990s

Look like 9spd Chorus skewers!

Morning Johan, put this in the ad section too. You've probably got more chance of a response there.
