DJR Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 My 1982 Alan: ................. If I became "the dictator of bike design" tomorrow, I would decree that ALL handlebars must be shaped like that. Loose cog and Badsam 2
Badsam Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 OK, here goes: 1950's Viking, English manufacturer. Nervex lugs with Reynolds 501 tubing - lovely horizontal dropouts .............................................Those lugs are beautiful! Loose cog 1
Badsam Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 The Pinarello build so far:Everything cleaned, polished and fitted. Test fitted some white tape and I'm quite happy with the colour scheme so far which brings about my next dilemma I'm thinking about using yellow cable outers but none I've come across fits over the Campy gear cable! So, do I have to use the 'normal' Campy kit or has anyone had luck with a specific brand of cable outers that work with Campy cables? Eppie, DJR and quintonb 3

Rolfalps Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 There was a chrome Carlton for sale in Johannesburg a few weeks ago and I was keen to buy it but pushed for funds for another project at the time.I bought the Carlton but haven't seen it yet. It is still at a mates house in Jhb. Am really looking forward to getting it and rebuilding with some period correct kit. Loose cog 1

Loose cog Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 dilemma I'm thinking about using yellow cable outers but none I've come across fits over the Campy gear cable! So, do I have to use the 'normal' Campy kit or has anyone had luck with a specific brand of cable outers that work with Campy cables? I have not had this problem and found I can use Campy cables in other branded casings. The most common after market cable and casing in SA is from Giant. When you cut the casing try use a quick, sharp snip as it will not cause the internal housings sleeve to deform. If it has take a sharpened spoke and insert it into the casing end to slightly enlarge the entry into the casing. The cable should then be easily inserted into the casing. Gear casings have a plastic inner sleeve and brake casings a metal inner sleeve. Some expensive casings have more refined sleeve materials to assist cable movement in the sleeve. Give me a call if you still stuck.
Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 (edited) Hi Guys, I have tried creating a "Help identify the bike" thread but I didn't get much help.Is there anybody who could help to identify this bicycle or know where I could go to get help?I have bee told everything from a Schwinn to a GT to a Raleigh, was even told it could be a track frame. This from my LBS.It is alloy, not steel so would imagine around the early 90's, maybe.Only sticker says Ciclo.Any help would be appreciated.Regards,Steven Edited April 29, 2015 by Steven Knoetze (sk27)
Loose cog Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 Steven, please post a close up picture of the decal on the seat tube and also have a look if there is any markings under the bottom bracket.

Try giving the LBS whose number is on the chain stay a call they may recall when they used these chain guards and narrow the bike down for you.

I don't think European/UK, although that fork looks suspiciously PEUGEOTesque! Possibly SA. Could be PRODUX, SA built ali bikes, from mid 90s, .Is the Cyclo Pro chain guard new, or has been on there since new?Rob Rudman would have been the owner when that bike was new, but Cyclo is now run by his daughter. It's worth asking if you really want your bike's provenance. In the absence of anything better, the answer may be in the fork markings, if you ever strip it! Sorry can't be of more help. edit: Produx maybe early 2000, rather than mid 90s, don't remember!!! Edited April 30, 2015 by HeyYou
Eppie Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 This should bring back some memories. It is a three speed Phillips, English make in the sixties from similar bikes on the net. This one however has a Raleigh South Africa sticker on so may have been assembled locally.
Nico RoadKill Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 (edited) I have a pair of nice old high flanged Campagnolo Record track hubs, that I want to use to build up wheels for a fixed gear SS build, who would you suggest I get to build the wheels. JHB or PTA Edited April 30, 2015 by RoadKill
