I'm busy finishing up my Tommasini with a coversion from 9 speed Chorus to a 7 speed Suntour Superb Pro. Setting click down shifter syem has always driven me to drink!!!! Vitus and Alan were pioneers in Alu no doubt at the time when steel was king but I must admit that Cannondale were the first guys in my opinion to get in right with oversize tubing.

If you had the service recently then there should be no issue taking it back to them on that basis for a fine tuning!? I think your issue is a minor tuning of the front derailleur! Does it the chain come off the small ring or does it seem to ''surf" over the top of it?

Why not do it yourself? What do you need done?

Tour De Frans' guys know there stuff well and Frans is mostly always there!

Do you ride a Cervelo?

O this RINGS a bell!!

Was that from the movie 'Green Street Hooligans'? West Ham United!!!

Beyond all belief!!!

Velo I had something similar and also in yellow except that there was a rear shock absorber as well. Weighed a bloomin ton!!

Stunning website!! Thanks!

An exemplary cricketer and a brave and true commentator whose commentary was based on superb knowledge of and what was best for the game and never on what was best for the politicians and suits that run the game. Never a lackey!! RIP Hylton!

....after the maiden ride this has now been altered to 3 modern goods. The Rolls saddle will be used for ceremonial duties only!! Hell it gave me a pain in the ar$e!!!

Nope!! VAT only. Duties apply only to importing of complete bicycles if memory serves me right.

Well I needed to help E1 strip the bike for cleaning etc and you should have seen the wifes face when we wheeled it into the house!!!!

If it wasn't that big I could have had a relapse!! Thank the heavens. We did however pick up another Battaglin stray this morning but it is E1A1's for parts!! Frame also a 60cm CTC (too big again) so it may appear here soon for sale. Very unusual yellow colour scheme with no chroming bar the driveside chainstay.

Just finished the Battaglin and the only modern goods on it are Conti Gatorskins and Fizik bar tape!! Remember reading a while back of a Hubber having a blonde moment when he assembled his pedals ar$e about face and I had a similar one. While fitting the brake levers on the bars I was trying to route the brake cable through the front and out the back as per normal. Well after a good 10 minutes I got into my Goran Ivanisevic mode being a Croat and was just about ready for the toss over the neighbours wall!!! Low and behold these levers are pre Aero era so the cable feeds through the top of the hoods!! Well irritating!!

Mine on this thread???? https://www.bikehub.co.za/forum_posts.asp?TID=35189&get=last#894956

But only if it is a Colnago!!! You mean only if it's a Colnago from the 70's or 80's made from Columbus's finest lead water pipes... Will post pics on the retro thread in a couple of weeks of your oldmans lead water pipes after step 1 of the makeover!!

But only if it is a Colnago!!!
