Loose cog Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 The Super looks great, love the colour scheme. Visited a couple of LBS looking for brake lever hoods for the Shimano 600 rebuild I am completing. Nothing, one chap did not even know what I was talking about. Looks like I need to put together an import package again. Took delivery of a friends Colnago Crystal which I will service and then sell on his behalf. Will post some photos tomorrow. Bike has not been ridden for awhile so it is dusty. Very good condition with hardly any scratches to the paint work.
MintSauce Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 If anyone is interested, I'll be clearing out a few projects I just haven't the time to complete. I'll be sure to post any classifieds here. I'll be getting rid of a full C-Record group as well as some older Nuovo/Super Record bits. Will sort it out over the weekend and take pics and so on and get things rolling early next week.

DJR Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 I am in process of restoring a Atala frame. Need help in finding the white brake hoods. Any suggestions? If you are unable to find the correct hood covers, there is a vinyl spray that is used by car restorers to refurbish things like dashboards. Talk to the hardware shop or car interior trimmers, they may be able to help.
quintonb Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 Very special project that one. You are fortunate to still have it. I say: Ride it like a 16 year old! Yes my father had the frame in the garage all these years.I got the same 105 "Blue" groupset off a donor bike.Was very tempted to ride Amashova on it last weekend, as it was the bike I rode my 1st Shova on and this years Shova was my 22nd. But didn't have enough time on the bike to make sure set-up was ok. Wish this body could ride like that again...LOL

HeartCoppi Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 I am in process of restoring a Atala frame. Need help in finding the white brake hoods. Any suggestions?The hoods are just dirty. at least first try to clean them. Douse the hoods with MrMin let it soak for 5 min then wipe of the grime.

Excellent job, she's looking lovely. I wish I still had my first Hansom, but I traded her in for a Tommasini, which I still have. I'm sure she'll ride like the wind, as will you with memories.

HeyYou Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 I am in process of restoring a Atala frame. Need help in finding the white brake hoods. Any suggestions? I like the Atala. She looks in good nik. I have one, but she's been welded, badly, at the head tube, so I think I'll donate her to my gardener. Good luck with the project.
HeyYou Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 (edited) Found this while trawling the www. Looks like an early to mid 80s bottom range Bianchi, Campy Victory or Triomph. I'll contact the owner and see how much he/she wants. I'm not interested, I have 2 already. Anyone interested? Edit: No how did it get 2 of these posts???? Edited October 20, 2013 by heyyou
