Loose cog Posted December 9, 2015 Share I have a Peugeot Competition 2000 but it is a mono carbon frame probably manufactured by Look. Will take some pics and provide further details over the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamaalo Posted December 9, 2015 Share So this will prob be my last build for 2015. I might have one more up my sleeve but this got a full refurbishment. Thanks to Eppie for providing me with the frame. Always wanted a Celeste coloured bianchi and when Eppie got me the frame I Couldn resist overhauling it. Above u will find a bianchi equipt with 10 speed veloce rolling on mavic pro sup with a vetta saddle, cinelli bars and stem covered with some sweet fizik bar tape. forgotten1, EvanB, Loose cog and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spirog Posted December 10, 2015 Share Latterly, mid to late 80s, many of the makes of different pedals had different cleats. But, essentially, all had a 'channel', in which the rear pedal plate inserted. The straps then tightened the shoe into the pedal, holding the back plate in the 'channel'. Mid to late 80s Shimano pedals and cleats had an extra retention in the front..And where would one start to find such a wondrous thing for a pair of Shimano 80's pedals?

HeyYou Posted December 10, 2015 Share And where would one start to find such a wondrous thing for a pair of Shimano 80's pedals?  HEN'S TEETH!!!!! On eBay you'll pay anything from $50 to $150  But contact Olffie1, he's looking into having some 3D printed and the more the cheaper, I suppose. I suppose that goes for anyone else also.

Anton Earle Posted December 10, 2015 Share This morning took my brand new 30 year old Petini for its first ride up Groenkloof ridge - lovely! Thank you to Eppie for arranging the delivery of the bike - all packaged well and even putting a new set of tyres on for me. I look forward to doing some epic vintage rides on my new beauty!  I guess this bike hails form the late 1980s and most likely constructed from Reynolds tubing (unfortunately the sticker naming the tubing is gone). All paintwork is original as well as the decals. Will make a trip to Linden Cycle next week to show to them. Amazing how well the bike rides - dropping down the ridge at 70 kph it felt stable and smooth, soaking up the road bumps. Very responsive when climbing. Love it!

blinx Posted December 10, 2015 Share Hi Guys, Looking for some help and advice, I am keen on restoring this lovely Zini classic but I am worried of a few things and 1 of them mainly is losing the original decals (pics attached), should I strip the bike down and restore and is there somebody who can replicate these decals? I would like to put them back after repaint etc. Secondly should I go single speed or fixed gear or leave as a geared bike and restore ? Thanks guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bike looks like the day it came out the factory. IMO - restore it to original to keep the old bikes im circulation. The world doesn't need another single speed, but it does need more lovingly restored bikes that remind us of our history and heritage.

If the existing components are good or you have bits lying around, then I reckon make it a geared bike as it originally was. I thoroughly enjoy riding ss/fixed bikes, but a geared will always be more versatile and ultimately more usable. Kenty and Loose cog 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blinx Posted December 11, 2015 Share @ Spirog & Wazz_pe, thanks will check the components out and advise. I managed to get a Raleigh bicycle today, made in SA (Springs), will send a pic, its a bit rough as the guy I bought it from has been using it as a daily so maybe I should convert this classic to a SS/Fixie, will send pics later tonight. I will be in touch with Annette and see what they have to say about the decals.

Loose cog Posted December 11, 2015 Share Original Reynolds tubing decals are available from a company in the UK, called Lloyd something or other. Google is your friend. A couple of guys are doing decals locally including Tyrone on the hub. Tyrone should have the templates for the SA built Zini's. Agreed with above posts, please don't cut off rear derailleur hangers, grind off cable housing guides or downtime shifter mounts. If you will use the bike as a SS or fixie then build it up as such but keep the other bits so you can restore it later if you want.
