Typical!! like cellular batteries and chargers.........!!

I'd rather see the veins on the arms!!

Havent been back to Mean Machine since but I need to pick up a BB sometime this week so I will ask.....

Did you manage to get an answer on the frame you told me about? Which one again GT? The Merckx??

Well done Tarboy that frame looks in stunning condition....what are you going to dress her with?

Congratulations and good luck with thenew bike!!

I have no idea! Would it look good on my Hanson? IMO this hansom has to be fitted with Shimano 600 i.e. biopace cranks I think thats the original setup. cos the two that have passed through my hands have been equipped like this. The one in fact had quite a beautiful light green metallic anodized finish 600 groupset. BUT' date=' I stand corrected if thats not the case.[/quote'] .... I may hace "600" bits and pieces lying around !!!

so' date=' this is the "stray" you took in...? [img']https://assets.bikehub.co.za/legacy_images/smilies/smiley4.gif[/img] Yup!! .......and I'm done for the year!

Preferably at Loftus! better suited to these exploits!

really? Sarcasm is the poorest form of wit! I dont see why it is essential that a forum always needs to have some useless post on it ! If you not going to add value or make someone laugh' date=' stay away.[/quote'] Even worse when a single sentence is taken out of context and ridiculed...... but then that is how they train reporters to think. As do churches and theologians!

Both!! Honestly though check for frame rust and work from there in deciding!

Some more useless trivia. The Italian carbon company' date=' ATR, that supplies most Italian bike and car companies(including F1) with their raw materials has gone under. Looks like all tubing will be sourced from China in the near future. I think Time is the only company that actually weaves their own carbon tubes. [/quote'] And ATR's original relationship began with..............? Yup Colnago!!! PS. OOPS!!! Bought another one!! Wife is going to flip!! Battaglin SLX with Suntour Superb Pro on!! Definately the last bike for the year!! Would you believe I managed to find a brand new & complete "old" Ofmega Pronto Gruppo as well! For the folk that don't know this was called the "poor man's Campag" in years gone by!!! .....and here she is.........................

Check out the price on something as simple as a replacement pin for a 11 speed chain from Campy!! R110 last time I asked......nice but super expensive! Go the 10 in my opinion

Velo what is the best way to get them shining again?

Well done and post a pic please!!!

That's my size... Were? Hi gt I saw it at Mean Machine in Germiston!!! Bike in very good nick as well!! Is it for sale tho? Yup he asked me if I wanted it so you can definately get it!
