didi Posted July 28, 2014 Posted July 28, 2014 Track nutI think retro means different things to different peopleI would say if you want to show it post itcheersDion
Climate Posted July 28, 2014 Posted July 28, 2014 The definition of retro is inversely proportional to the age of the person inquiring, but the cut-off date is approximately equal to triple the square root of the number of years since taking ownership of ones first bike.

gtr1 Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 Hi guys. I need some advise please. I have 2 old track bikes. A Claud Butler and a Geoffrey Butler from the 70’s. Just stripped the one to have it sprayed. I need to know, what is the best way to clean up the equipment and get it looking clean and newish again ? All Campagnolo group sets. Tks

gtr1 Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 I'll take some pics and post for some advise. The Claud a Butler is very scratched along the top tube. 30 years in a garage in amongst other bikes and wheels :-(
Trackie Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 The Claude Butler in question also has odd sized crank bolts that are proving a challenge to remove! gtr1 1
eddy Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 Sad, but i hope restore to former glory...... Frame picked up this evening. I'll try and get better pictures in the morning. It looks beautiful. ... Loose cog 1
eddy Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 Looks amazing Eddy. Cant wait to see it built up This is what it looked like....
DJR Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 Frame picked up this evening. I'll try and get better pictures in the morning. It looks beautiful. ...Watching with great interest as my own Colnago is hanging above my desk, waiting patiently for the collection of hens' teeth to be complete so that the build can start. eddy 1
Loose cog Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 +1 I recall those before pics. Can't wait to see the completed bike. eddy 1
EvanB Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 Looks like a beaut, wish they made them with the same artistry today eddy 1
Loose cog Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 Colnago still make steel Master frames off the same 30 odd year old setup. Here's my baby. DJR and eddy 2
GreatGusto Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 (edited) Dude your bike is on your white/cream couch! Either the bike is hectic clean or you're not married, one of the two! :-) Edited July 29, 2014 by GreatGusto Loose cog 1
Skylark Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 Colnago still make steel Master frames off the same 30 odd year old setup. Here's my baby. Now how much real advantage would the latest carbon frame have over that, apart from weight?That's a really nice bike, I can imagine it gives all the ride you could every need. Loose cog 1
