Greetings cyclists,

I have an Alpina, from the 80's, mostly original, with Mavic ally rims, EX 300 jockey and "exage" components. It's my training/racing bike, I've had it for 20 years now, it's a real beauty, and easy to ride. But the trouble with regularly using a classic bike is replacing the wear parts - the guy at my bike shop laughed when I showed him the old chainrings. I need a 5 point chain ring set, and a set of down-tube shifters.. where do other classic bikers get their wear parts? Any advice / suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

Sorry, looked at this post on my phone and seemed to have replied but can't delete. WTF?

Ok so this is the final one for the year below a Pinarello treviso montello? Running on Campagnolo ventos and some c record goodies if I'm not mistaken. Thanks for everyone who helped me out this year with all the builds. Have an awesome festive season. Can't wait to start fresh again in the new year.

Hi Mugabe!

 

We swap, trade and give away parts between us.

 

May I suggest you post a few pics of your bike and let us see what parts you need. I have some downtime shifters for sale (or swap) but need to see what series Shimano you need. May even have some spare chainrings.

Looks great. Kamaalo!

 

Can't wait to start my Montello restoration and now I have some inspiration.

Any info on this Bianchi? Year etc.? I know the image is bloody awful but its all I have for now. What would a good price be for it?

So, yesterday I get a sms from PostNet. Not expecting anything I pop over to see what is waiting for me (fearing NATIS is using PostNet to deliver my speeding fines).

 

Lovely red box which when opened revealed this lovely present from Santa.

 

Thank you very much Santa! I am so overwhelmed.

 

The gift is so lovely so I immediately scratch around in my spares to find a partner. Thus far the closest is a lovely Gipiemme hub from similar era. Also found some NOS MA3's which I will go purchase tomorrow.

It is a Bianchi Mondiale. I have a similar model. Could be end 80's beginning 90's.

[forgotten1]

That Bianchi is definately 80's. Most likely 88/89

[forgotten1]

Does anyone have any Campy Delta brake calipers? (Within a reasonable price range...and yes, I know they are worth a Bazillion Rand)

 

I have a box of old brake levers (Dia-Compe) a Zues rear hub, and a few other odds and ends if anyone needs.

[HeyYou]

I'm interested in your bits and pieces. I'll send you a PM

Can I ask how you are so sure given such a small pic?

 

I'm certainly not arguing, just interested in what you're looking at!

 

I have 3 Bianchis and I'm finding them very hard to ID beyond a general year.
