Loose cog

Well done, very nice restoration.

I am going to ride down south this Saturday, hope to see one or two familiar faces. Details: the Hub Ride is this Saturday 24 October 2015. The Venue is Nash Nissan 3 Voortrekker st Alberton free overflow parking is available at Alberton City 300m from the Dealershipoff the Ring rd East The start, ie wheels rolling is at 07:00 sharp! the route is exactly 50km and is a round trip at an easy pace with support vehicles and Medical backup en route. The route goes from the Dealership out to the new Thule store with a quick stop then out to the Lido and back via Kliprivier, Hennie Alberts then the Ring rd East. Up for grabs are some cool prizes from Thule, Auto Armor, And Nash Nissan who along with Thule are offering a Thule equipped New Nissan SUV for the week of the 94.7 cycle challenge. Just Cycles are displaying a few new Bikes in the showroom along with Thule Bike carriers while Hubbers are welcome to Bring along their Second Hand Mtb's and Road Bikes and Frames. Nash Nissan will be providing Boerie rolls and liquid refreshment on our return to enjoy during the quick prize giving which is a lucky draw affair. All names will be taken from this thread and from those joining in on the day. We should be done and dusted by 10:00 or so.

This is an amazing frame. The paint work is of such a very high quality with little chrome details around the lugs on the chain stays. Needs to be seen. Not many of these frames were produced and it will become a very collectable bike in the future.

Saw this beauty in the week. New modern retro Bianchi Dolomitic steel frame. The paint work and chromed lugs are first class and the new 11spd Chorus suits the frame very well. Lucky owner, makes me extremely celeste with envy.

Hi Guys & Girls I am looking to buy a Cinelli head badge like this but don't want to import if I don't have to. Willing to pay big time. Anyone have anything or know someone who does?

Local ride on Saturday 24th ......https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/154489-alberton-jhb-south-hub-ride-early-november-2015/page-5

Hate to clean that after a few rides!

Hey you, if you still un-decided, go with both. My SS which I rode this morning in the freedom ride around Johannesburg.

I would go with black housing and black tape. Finish off with yellow end tape and bar ends.

Pro cyclist in the 50-60's. I have seen stems and seat pins branded Barale but not a bike before. No doubt a commemorative decal by Colnago in the early 90's. Lower grade Nago's were being manufactured by smaller co. under licence at that time if my memory services me correctly and could explain decal.

Are these for sale to the public and if so where is the nearest outlet in Sandton?

Yep, early 90's Nago shod with very entry level Campagnolo groupset from the throwaway Triomphe/Athena era. Groupset quickly discontinued and Chorus introduced. The frame is red so will have some appeal if in reasonable condition. The stem would have been a rare find were it not so scuffed!

Ask your LBS to scratch around their small parts bin. If they don't have any try a specialist nut and bolt place. They often have the exact part at a fraction of the original LBS cost. The bolt may not be chromed but of a higher quality and lighter weigh.

I am keen and will let you have details by latest Mon am. Thanks!!!!!!!!

Unfortunately the seller appears to be sending the goods door-to-door which does cost Euro100.00. Sending the goods normal international delivery often results in goods being delayed or lost by SAPO and you claiming non-delivery and them having to refund or send another lot of goods.

Love the cable end nipples/protectors!

This would/could be a nice project to restore back to former glory: https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/154222-bianchi-57cm-road-frame-fork-bb-stem-and-bars/

I run a 10spd cassette wheel set on one of my bikes with 7spd index Campagnolo shifter. I am able to get the 7spd lever to change 9 positions loosing only one sprocket. Set up to lose lowest gear (biggest sprocket). Most RD shifters were friction rather than index so you could use on triple. Triple road cranks were popular in the 80-90's.

Your Cosmos looks very nice with the frame in very good condition. IMHO there is nothing wrong with a modern equipped old stead. During our recent social ride in the cradle we marvelled at how quickly one "ran out of gears" on the older 5 and 6 speeds, especially on the hilly bits. Well done!

Neill, that Colnago has been for sale for at least 2 months. It was previously resprayed and not a good job. Stripping the paint and respraying it with new decals would cost you another R2,500. An 80's groupset is going to set you back another R3,000 to R10,000. What size frame do you ride? Edit: Just seen Eppie's post above. Explains the position. Stay clear.

Found a use for your old frames guys:

Thinking about doing something similar on some Delta covers!

I saw a closeup of the engraving and it's really good. An improvement on the original IMHO

Send JMK1 a PM. I am sure he can assist you.
