Loose cog

Thank you. I still have the bolt (35mm x 4mm) but missing the barrel nut.

Hi all, I am looking for a spare barrel nut for my Thomson seatpin. It's a 4mm thread. Willing to pay for a replacement part, will also take a bolt and nut.

Ian, give Neil Buckland a call 0782711057. His shop is in Pinelands

https://bikehub.co.za/classifieds/item/vintage-components/612493/reproduction-brake-lever-hoods I have stock in black, gum, light grey and brown (tbc).

Before you do anything please consider whether you want to keep the bike original and keep its sentimental value or if this is not high on your agenda whether you want to spend lots of money restoring her. Please give me a call if you want some honest advice. Steve 0730693979

Probably one of those slow Nago's or the Specialissima

Pity there isn't a rim brake option. Now I need a new frame too! 😏

Quite!

Hi DrRichard. Unfortunately the current trend by the retro/vintage gang is only to value bikes which have a complete groupset and not a mismatch of parts as was very common in the 70-80's. Selling the bike as it is you are likely to get between R2,500 to R3,000. Stripping and selling off the parts you are likely to get far more than this. For example, that Dura Ace first gen crank (GA-200) is worth R1,500-R1,800. The Modolo brakeset in that condition about R1,000, Mavic FD R350-R400. The frame and fork could get you R1,200 to R1,600. Trust this helps!

Jared, I dealt with the seller before when the seller operated under a different user name. I was very happy with the quality and price of the items sold. Not sure why the seller changed their user name but it seems to be the norm BMC

Thank you for the offer. I will PM when I am coming out that way. I hope I can find one for sale as it's a very useful tool to have.

Yes. My LBS has misplaced their die and I am wanting to place a few more threads on a fork and clean up the threads on another.

Hi all, Help! Where can I buy a 1" ISO 24 tpi die. I have searched and hoping someone in the technical realm could steer me to a tap & die supplier (preferably in the Jhbg area).

Hi Eddy, I assume the BB cup(s) you have in the frame are not stamped 1.37 x (English) or 36 x Italian? If you have removed one of the BB cups and the other side is stuck check the diameter of the cup removed. Eng cups are smaller than Ita )+-34.8mm for Eng and 36mm for ITA. Another easier method is to use another set of BB cups with the ENG 1.37 x stamped. If the cup screws in it's Eng, if not Italian. Always remember for Italian the "righty, tighty and lefty loosely". Post a few pics or call me for assistance.

The seatpin and saddle are original although the collar does't look like the original.

The C40 with its original Colnago seatpin and C40 seat collar and Record group should sell at about R25,000 but look at offers from R22,000. The Mega Master about R7,500 to R9,000 The above is merely my personal opinion

Yes, I will sand the seatpin down if I don't find a 26.8mm

Whilst we are on seatpins, anyone have 26.8mm seatpin like this to swap for this 27mm?

I can assist. I have a rare Nitto 65 post. Approximately 270mm from bottom to seat rail

I always try and provide feedback but found that if a seller removed the ad I wasn't able to provide any review. Also if a buyer bought from me after contacting me by phone.

You need some new hoods

On its way!

I can probably assist with the Mavic rims (wheels) if you can wait a week (I am on my way to Eroica). Whatsapp me a pic of the mismatched wheels you have.
