DJR Posted February 26, 2016 Share I too have been mulling the idea over, of doing the Argus on my BiTitan Master ...VERY stylish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eppie Posted February 26, 2016 Share Doing it on my C50... does that count?That C50 looks super fast. Beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eppie Posted February 26, 2016 Share This is the Colnago Master I am using for the Argus. She is a 7 speed. All Campagnolo Record accept for the calipers and rear derailleur that are Chorus. Biggest gear at back is a 24, but I still have time to get something bigger. Someone got some Record compact chainrings for me?

Eppie Posted February 26, 2016 Share Funny that you should mention that......I did last years shorty on the old lady (Colnago Bititan, with C-record. Since added Shamal wheelset.) That little cassette is rough on the legs going up Suikerbossie though.......I'll see what I feel like on the day.What is the lightest gear at the back DJR, 23?

HeyYou Posted February 27, 2016 Share I remember when a 12-19 straight block 8spd was a common sight. My knees remember it very well too Yup, it was a different life! 52/42 and 12/19, or 13/19 for 6/7 spd, those were the days, now it's 13/28, and 50/34 and I still struggle to get up the hills!!! Can only hit 40 km/h going vertically down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tracknut Posted February 27, 2016 Share True story :-)Hey look at this "corncob" DA 12-19, 7 speed nice close ratios. Not too sure what the problem is? I have done several 94.7 on my 1950's single speed with 52-20 gearing and it has many more climbs than the Argus...

Badsam Posted February 28, 2016 Share Hi all, I need some help ID'ing a frame! I picked this up over the weekend as I needed some parts off of it. I haven't really gotten down to stripping and cleaning yet, but from what I can tell, it's had a respray. Some more details: Cinelli BB shell, Campagnolo rear dropouts, 3 cable guides on top tube, no bridge between chain stays (indicating a high end frame?) The BB seems to have a serial number that's rather difficult to read due to the respray. I have a plan to get it on paper which I will most probably attempt tomorrow. The fork is from a Daccordi (Silva d/o's) but I haven't been able to find any leads to it being an original or its use in conjunction with the frame. Here are some (bad) pics: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loose cog Posted February 29, 2016 Share Looking at the seat lug and the way the seat stays are joined it may be a Daccordi? I am no expert though. Badsam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wazza_pe Posted February 29, 2016 Share Looking at the seat lug and the way the seat stays are joined it may be a Daccordi? I am no expert though.Do you think it might be an older one then as it looks nothing like any of the '80's Daccordis I've seen??

Wazza_pe Posted March 1, 2016 Share So, to sort of answer my previous question to Loose Cog, that Cinelli cast bb shell seems to only have been produced after 1982. So I guess we can assume that the frame was probably built between '82 - '90. Correctly identifying could be complete hit and miss, but I personally don't think it is from any of the big Italian makers. Badsam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
