didi Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 (edited) From what I understand the chroming is cheap.It is the labour of prep work and polishing that is expensive to do.And trust me there is a lot of polishing in chroming.Always discuss what type of finish you are expectingbecause you get cheap furniture chroming and a master pieceand the difference is the polishing.

Guest notmyname Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 I'm planning chroming only the stays and the fork. Annette will probably paint the balance. Nic(colnago chap) only had good things to say about her work. Thanks again for the help. Much appreciated.
Guest notmyname Posted July 6, 2014 Posted July 6, 2014 Tragedy! My vehicle has just been Burgled and the crate with the campy components for my pina build has been relocated along with bike rack, Radio, speakers and other nick knacks. Police believe it was a small perp/child. They somehow climbed under the vehicle and cut power to the alarm rendering it useless(I didn't know this was possible). They tried another vehicle but activated the alarm and woke the owner who informed me. Shitty Sunday morning I tell you.
BenReaper Posted July 6, 2014 Posted July 6, 2014 Sorry to hear this dude,not a nice way to wake up.I hope they somehow at least recover youre bicycle components.
Guest notmyname Posted July 6, 2014 Posted July 6, 2014 Yeah. I just hope they don't take the bike bits to a cash for scrap place. They're toast then.
Loose cog Posted July 6, 2014 Posted July 6, 2014 Sorry to hear the bad news! Let us know what parts were stolen so we can keep an eye open for them. Also good to let us know your whereabouts so we are aware of the area the parts may surface.
Guest notmyname Posted July 6, 2014 Posted July 6, 2014 Northcliff area. It's pretty much this exact bike but not the delta anchors (http://www.velociao.com/2013/pinarello-gavia/) I've got the wheels, stem bars and bb.
Loose cog Posted July 6, 2014 Posted July 6, 2014 C Record group sets are getting rare. Will keep an eye out. Let Linden and Northcliff cycles know because they would be a source to off load.
didi Posted July 7, 2014 Posted July 7, 2014 (edited) Anybody know anything about Chiaravalloti bike. A friend of mine saw one over the weekend that is for sale. Made in France. I can only find one listing on google. https://sites.google...s/chiaravalloti I am sure it is not as old as this one. The one here does not have say F Chiaravalloti only Chiaravalloti Any leads would be great. Cheers Dion Edited July 7, 2014 by didi danthunders and Loose cog 2

Lance Notstrong Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 (edited) Need to put them on a bike tomorrow.... Eish good luck. This is probably a good place to start but I haven't seen many of those around... even you don't have a set fixer Edited July 8, 2014 by Lance Notstrong
didi Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 Ok the Chiaravalloti bike I don't think is made in France. Will load photos later. Cheers Dion
