  1. My two cents: Master xLight - very racy and great on the hills, very responsive and lively:Master 30 year anniv- bit more relaxed but you feel the bit of extra weight (both bikes built with 11spd SR and Hyperon tubby's)Super '88 with SR/50yr anniv parts - great allrounder and fun to ride. More flex than Master's. A lot more stable due to longer wheel base and curved forkDream Lux - great all day ride, stable and it was a pleasure riding (initially Record 9 speed but upgraded to Record 10 speed), regret selling the bike
  2. Yes, agree. The Master is after all still a square frame. Cameron tell us what size frame you are wanting to determine stack height and I am sure one of the owners will oblige with a measurement for you.
  3. Easiest way to measure stack height is to take the vertical measurement from the top of the head tube to the floor (with wheels attached to frame) and then the vertical measurement from the middle of BB to the floor. Deduct the BB figure from the HS figure to get the stack height. Reach is taken laterally from middle of stem and steerer tube to outer edge of the rear wheel (place the bike against a wall).
  4. Thank you Mett, still one of my favourite bikes, Vitus 979 and Alan Super Record! Thank you for sharing the article.
  5. The white Walls are the least of the problems for the frame. That ugly groupset
  6. Agreed, from least attractive to most attractive!
  7. WANTED, Campagnolo Nuovo Record or Nuovo Super Record seatpin 27.2mm diameter. The Record doesn't have flutes.
  8. Nice find at a great price. I can organise you some reproduction hoods. PM me for details or see https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/354576-campagnolo-hoods/
  9. Contact Moosa 9749286883. He is based in CT around the corner from you. I can recommend the quality of his work.
  10. With much sadness I have decided to sell my Pinarello Montello project as the frame is just to big for me and I have to many projects at the moment. https://www.bikehub.co.za/index.php?app=hubmarket&module=core&do=view_item&item_id=369271&new=1
  11. Very nice find. Now you need a Shimano AX groupset to go with it.
  12. Looks like Di Data have been awarded the Maglia Nera jersey by cyclist.co.uk! Quote "Score: 2/10 Best on GC: Ben O’Connor, 32nd Best stage result: 5th (Stage 3, 10, 18) I’m not fully convinced that Dimension Data were even at this Giro d’Italia. Barely present in the breakaways, no threat on any of the sprint stages and not a single rider in the top 30th of General Classification. Dimension Data seemed to be at this year’s race as a formality with no real intentions of doing anything. Sure, bike riders are only human but this was a very poor showing that only furthered the team's problems. If the Tour de France returns similar results for Africa’s team, you have to worry for their future in cycling’s WorldTour."End quote.
  13. Thank you. I am placing an order but noticed the 72 hours collect at store restriction. Deciding between this and courier option.
  14. Hi, I don't understand. The Bolt on its own selling for R5k and the bundle for R8k? Does this deal include the out front mount or is this a separate item to be purchased? Also, do you stock the speed and cadence sensors and if so, what price?
  15. PLEASE NOTE the nude hoods, #4 will darken to #3 gum color after exposed to the sun and may be suitable for show bikes kept indoors.
  16. So over the past few weeks a mate of mine has experimented with having reproduction hoods made for brake levers that we can't readily get locally and have to import. Campagnolo NR/SR and older style Shimano Dura Ace / 600 1st generation hoods were made and a few sold. The feedback has been positive, thank you. I am pleased to advise that more moulds have been made and we are now ready to take orders for the following hoods: Modolo Using the best hood available to us we have made the left/right specific Modolo hoods to fit the Professional, Master, Speedy, Corsa, Team and Superprestige levers. Mafac Again, using the best hood available to us we have made Mafac hoods for the Course and Competition none aero levers from the 60's to 80's Suntour These none aero hoods are for the Superb Pro and Cyclone levers Dura Ace ax These aero hoods are for the ax groupset range and where often found in a powder blue color. We haven't experimented with blue as yet so only available in gum, chocolate brown, brown and black at this stage. We are still taking orders for the following: Campagnolo Hoods for the Nouvo Record/Super Record levers Shimano Hoods for the 1st generation Dura Ace and 600 levers Please place orders by sending me a personal message or WhatsApp (0730693979) for the hoods you require. All hoods will continue to be sold for R485 a pair. The hoods should be ready within the next 10 to 15 days. The colors at the moment are NUDE (these hoods will darken after exposed to the sun and are only suitable for show bikes kept indoors), GUM, BROWN, CHOCOLATE BROWN and BLACK. See pictures but feel free to chat.
  17. Please correct me if I am wrong but isn't a gravel bike a MTB with drops and 700 wheels?
  18. These are still for sale, size UK 6 (EU 40). Iconic limited edition Adidas Colnago collaboration Sold out overnight when released earlier this year. New, original, imported directly from Size?
  19. Selling these https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/355099-adidas-trimm-star-colnago-limited-edition-trainers/
  20. It's here: https://www.colnago.com/en/bikes/e64/
  21. I have one or two similar NOS Simplex derailleurs if you do!
  22. Cool Peugeot! Go to arts & crafts shop and look at miniature aircraft paints to match color. After good clean apply paint with small paint brush. Takes time but good finish can be achieved. Tricky part matching the paint. Go slightly lighter rather than darker. Takes time but worth it.
  23. Special collaboration between Size? (UK shoe retailer), Adidas and Colnago. The Trimm Star's sold out within a few hours and I missed the initial launch. eBay was the only option but crazy prices. Fortunately, an email popped into my box a few days ago to alert me to the fact that they had a few pairs still available. and I managed to pick up a pair. Very lucky and also had a mate visit from the UK to save me postage and duties. Wish I could afford the Master though but very thankful for what I already own.
  24. I wish! Enjoying my 30th Anniversary but prefer the ride on the xLite to be honest.
  25. Look what arrived on my desk this morning!
