Even harder to find are replacement cleats!

I've found someone who has a digital printer. If I can get hold of one of these cleats, I may be able to get some made.

Correct period Eroica gear for me would be: Bata toughees, grey knee-length socks, probably bad Leroy-in-Fame polyviscose shorts, and a Pic-a-Pet Randburg (my worst job ever) T-shirt. 

:D  :D But your bike will be ice cold cool!

Anyone need wheels for Eroica?

 

I have the following I'll part with for not too much money:

Front wheel - Shimano 105 hub laced to a Mavic MA2 (red and green decal)

Rear Wheel - Dura Ace hub laced to Mavic SUP CD rim (126mm spacing)

 

I have an old and scruffy Hansom frame, 55cm as well if anyone's interested:

Sigh .... no, can't do it this year. Too tight financially. I'll think of you all there, and grit my teeth, and cry in my pillow, bwahaha!

Finishing off this Eddy Merckx 10th anniversary limited edition.

 

The Merckx frame was released in 1990 to celebrate Eddy Merckx' first decade as a frame maker. The groupset is a late 80's Campagnolo Athena with 7 speed friction gearing. Anyone have Campagnolo pedals to the completed build?

 

Eddy Merckx panto Cinelli stem and NOS ExA hexagon bars (still need to make some bar end caps unless someone out there has a pair?) finished with some Coppi cork bar tape. White Rolls saddle and Kalloy seatpost (27mm). NOS Campagnolo bottle and cage.

 

Older Record hubs and 7 speed Sachs block shod on Mavic GP 4 tubbies.

Bought a Fixie/Singlespeed and am trying to identify the frame that the seller says the chap he bought it off said is a french made frame made in 1972.

 

It has a serial number punched vertically on the headtube as in the pic, can anyone tell me which manufacturers used to place their serial numbers like this on the headtube?post-2028-0-71133400-1460362160_thumb.jpg

 

Any help will be appreciated as I am fairly curious

Check the threading on thr bb, that will tell you where it was made

French thread = France

Italian = Italy

English = everywhere else
