LeTurbo Posted April 8, 2016 Posted April 8, 2016 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. Wazza_pe, HeyYou, Loose cog and 2 others 5

Barry_W Posted April 8, 2016 Posted April 8, 2016 If anyone still needs that classic finishing touch for their Eroica kit Velotex is making a Retro range. Kenty, Loose cog and kamaalo 3
LeTurbo Posted April 8, 2016 Posted April 8, 2016 Are we going to see you there? 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! HeyYou and Kenty 2
Loose cog Posted April 9, 2016 Posted April 9, 2016 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.       tracknut, Rocket ship, Eppie and 11 others 14

paarlmtb Posted April 11, 2016 Posted April 11, 2016 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? Any help will be appreciated as I am fairly curious Kenty 1
