I'm keen, depending on size of course.

So I managed to get the parts I needed for my Zini from Hunters.

 

But Im still in need of:

 

- Track pedals with toe clips

- Track chainring 144 bcd any size between 48T - 52T

 

If you have anything please let me know.

 

Thanks

Look at this Colnago on ebay.

Go to eBay link and scroll down until you see the price of the Colnago bar tape at $500!

[DJR]

Sorry to fellow Colnago & Campy lovers, but I don't like that golden one, it's just too much, even to look at, let alone ride it. It must be the first Colnago ever that I don't like. I better go to the doc for a checkup. Something must be wrong with me.

Finished rebuilding these in the week. It's getting warmer and quite pleasant to work in the garage during the evenings.

What does L do with all these??????

[HeyYou]

CONUNDRUM

 

I came upon this a couple of days ago. Owner wants to sell. He's convinced this is a real ALAN and therefore worth a lot of money. 

 

I have searched the interwebs and found neither hound nor hair of a chromoly Alan, nothing other than screwed and glued ali or carbon.

 

Anyone know anything??????

 

 

 

[Cippo]

@ Hey you, those decals don't look like typical Alan decals. Any chance that is a respray?

[Warren van Rensburg]

Any info on these frames? Can't find much on the net

[Cippo]

The Carlton was a British make afaik.

The Gitane is a well known French manufacturer. I don't think they exist anymore.

First time I have heard of a Peugeot Calypso. Any labels of what tubing they are made of?
