Spirog Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 Busy shining up this Dura Ace first generation crankset.da.jpgda2.jpgWhat products do you use to clean your cranks? Other than elbow grease of course ????
Loose cog Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 Saw this beauty in the week. New modern retro Bianchi Dolomitic steel frame. The paint work and chromed lugs are first class and the new 11spd Chorus suits the frame very well. Lucky owner, makes me extremely celeste with envy. danfuterman, DJR, EugeneS and 10 others 13
DJR Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 ...............extremely celeste with envy. ​ Sharp for so early in the day  Â
Loose cog Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 This is an amazing frame. The paint work is of such a very high quality with little chrome details around the lugs on the chain stays. Needs to be seen. Not many of these frames were produced and it will become a very collectable bike in the future.

Eppie Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 Got these vintage Dura Ace calipers. Someone decided to paint them green. Started stripping them using paint stripper only to discovered that they were black anodised and some of the anodising came off in the process. Panic, what to do. Checked online and discovered that oven cleaner takes off anodising. Quite a process but managed to clean up the first set and polish it up. Now have to re-energise to do the other one.On another matter this is my new favourite toy for cleaning surface rust from small chromed parts HeyYou, Kenty, EugeneS and 1 other 4
Loose cog Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 (edited) Alan Super Record with CampagnolaWell done, very nice restoration. Edited October 23, 2015 by Loose cog
Fat Boab Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 Alan Super Record with Campagnola As a kid, back in Scotland, a mate of mine had one of these when the rest of us were riding 531, if we were lucky. I still remember the ridicule we heaped on him for having a 'glued' frame. If he still has it, I know who's laughing now    A beautiful bike... Loose cog, BogusOne and HeyYou 3

Loose cog Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 Seen in Alberton on Saturday morning, this Zeus 10spd.  I managed to have a quick chat to the owner who informed me that he has had the bike since new in 1971. The frame was restored a while back and now sports a 700 wheelset. Original steel Cinelli bar and stem in polished, like chrome condition. The clip-in pedals are a new feature to simplify everyday riding. What a beauty, especially in such an immaculate condition. The picture is reproduced without owner's knowledge so sorry if I am out of line but there are some guys who would love to see this bike. Kenty 1
