I ride a steel bike

[Flippa]

How do you tell if its steel? I have an ancient Gios' date=' blue with chromed lugs and a pinned head tube badge. Not sure if its steel, but it sure is heavy. I'm looking for a 7 speed cluster for it (See 7 speed cluster thread).[/quote']

 

If it still has it's original paint job then there should be a sticker on the seat tube saying if it is Reynolds or Coumbus tubing. If it is ancient enough then it will say "chromoly"

 

Cool, thanks. Still has its original paintjob. I'll check it out tonight.

my next road bike is going to be a custom steel bike, Perhaps a Du Toit.

But I''m thinking Pegoretti

[Bionic man]

Couldn't afford this Bianchi in the 80's when in school, was my dream bike  and now I have one. (not 100% original but getting there)

Bridgestone MB5 trailblazer (1989) My first "real" (geared) bike. my sister and  mother still ride it.

Place a magnet on the frame... if it sticks it's steel!

The most cycadelic paint job of all Alpina used as training bike.....

 

 

[CycleJunkie]

Got a Tommasini, 1990 or thereabouts. Has a '94 9 speed DA. The one just before they introduced the "Flight Deck" Has a 54 - 42 Chain ring which is a bit big but is great for training.

 

Original yellow, mint condition with the finest slender forks and stays. Looks too thin to hold one up

ITS a 1987 Battaglin , which is in pieces now, wanted to do a piant job like Ronelle did on her sons bike , but alas its quite pricey, so will have to live with original paint work, when I rebuild. Dont have those forks anymore but some carbon forks.
