Prince Albert Cycles

Just build a gravel bike running Maxxix Rambler 700 X 40 . Haven't done Swartberg Pass on them but some roads outside Prince Albert with a few rough sections . Don't think there is anything on the GF route that they won't handle

On the Pass itself . Haven't done the Oude Muragie road for a while . Will try and do it before GF and report

Currently the worst sections are on the Oudtshoorn side .

Before hydraulics we went down Swartberg with cantilevers

My build Steel frame from FARROUT Lauf fork AM Classic 28 wheels with Maxxis 700 X 40 tubeless Eagle GX and Slx cranks with a single 34 T Brooks Cambion saddle Sector seatpost Eggbeater pedals KCNC headset Jones Bar with Ergon Gp3 bar ends and Lizard tape , far out Garmin mount PRO stem and seat clamp SRAM Level TL hydraulic discs Weighs 11.3 kg still needs bottle cages

Cool report and photos DJR And congratulations on finishing the CTCT ( Argus) with your sons and your 80 year old DAD !

Terrible ! I am not a teetotaler but the sooner we move to a zero alcohol limit for drivers the better , so that we cut out all this bull**** about testing and proving above the limit . When a person hunts or fishes without a permit his vehicle get confiscated whether it is still " owned " by a bank or not . This should apply to intoxicated drivers as well . Until then , sadly we will continue with similar tragedies

I am the OP . Thanks for all the input . I ordered on Dec 25 and the order was despatched on 26 Dec . Delay not with CRC . Ordinary mail as I did not need the saddle urgently . But lesson learned . I am all for supporting the LBS I am after all the LBS in Prince Albert but R2700 for a saddle locally and R1400 at CRC tugs at loyalty .

Anyone else waiting a long time for delivery or is it only me because I live in the sticks ? Ordered early December

Will do

If it was not the Panorama I would have said you are looking for an excuse

And you did not come and say hello .Did it on Jan1 and I agree

Was lekker om jou te ontmoet Frans en jou passie te sien

That is my old Colnago .

In 2004 I went to Italy with Bruce Reyneke who was the importer of Tommasini . We visited the factory and the Tommasini family . Old man Tommasini's daughter was prettier than any of the bicycles !

Finished my 1982 Colnago Export . Paint by BogusOne. Campag hubs from Eppie . Ambrosio rims from SanFrancisco. Wheels build by Louis Bresler . Full Gippieme groupset from all over , mostly Hungary ( E bay ) Rolls saddle from a hubber . Shoot me for the non period saddle and the aero brake hoods and cables , but I like the aero hoods .

Gerhard , as jy wors in n hondehok soek is 1 cm sommer niks nie

Gerhard daar is n pragtige 1 te Koop hier op die hub ? Dis n 54 cm het Shimano op maar dit kan mos verander word . Ek ken die eienaar en dis pragtig opgepas

Nouja . So nice to be able to post this . Rebuild of 1982 Colnago Export completed . Found this , bought unseen . It was a complete bike . Waiting for it to arrive I was looking for Campagnola group set/ parts . I mean what else ? Upon arrival I noticed that the wheels were of some unknown origin , derailliers and levers and brakes were old Shimano . But , the crankset and stem was Gippieme . I read up on Gippieme , ( do that if you have not done so ) , and these were the Hermann edition . So the search began for the rest of the groupset . It now has a full Gippieme groupset . Hubs are Campagnola ( thanks Eppie ) , rims are Ambrosio ( thanks San Francisco ) . So purists shoot me for the non period Brooks saddle and aero brake levers which I like . It is my bike after all . Just need the toe clips . Paint job , thanks Bogus One .

Priceless ! Do those Contis fit on normal width rims ?

HI Gerhard .55 ctc . All Campag C Record 10 spd Campag wheels Not for sale sorry . Regards

Had one like this being my 1 st Colnago

The talk about C40's made me take mine down from the rack , wash , lube and pump tyres for a ride tomorrow

I know it is the wrong place to post this but was not successful in the correct post . Looking for a 26.8 seatpost of Italian origin .

What is Vetseuns real name ? Want to follow him on the tracker.
