javadude Posted December 12, 2009 Share That bike looks late 80's early 90's, so probably will be a 26.4(or measure like Johan recommends). The 64-xx bar is a Giro D'Italia bar(should say so on the bar. Here's the different style Cinelli bars: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules Posted December 13, 2009 Share Velo, you are spot on: it's a giro d italia. I'll add a vernier and longer stem to my letter to santa clause :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeartCoppi Posted December 28, 2009 Share Finally I have one. What a weird deal. I was standing in the parking lot chatting to my old neighbour from my previous house who I had just bumped into. I watched a guy ride past us and pull up to the entrance of "a shop where you can get cash for unwanted goods". He wheeled it into a particular department of this service provider, instead of chaining it outside on the sidewalk. Obviously I greeted my old neighbour instantly and moved. Moved real fast. I worked the guy while he was standing in the queue, and told him that I would give him double what they offer. To cut a long story short I stayed and listened to them offer him R200. We looked at each other and as they say the rest is history. He has told me he has another bicycle that is the same. So we exchanged numbers and I gave him a bit more to keep him interested. So I'm holding thumbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jules Posted December 28, 2009 Share Anyone know where I can find a pair of these hoods? http://photos-h.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs156.snc3/18371_402569370640_868120640_10220534_6349048_n.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha Ha Kieran Posted December 28, 2009 Share Are you familiar with Kayalami Pro Cycles in the South? They have the same model levers for R299. The hoods are in pretty good condition. They have a ton of old school campy hardware in the store Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules Posted December 28, 2009 Share Haven't been there before but it sounds like I need to check them out! Thanks for the info! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ha Ha Kieran Posted December 28, 2009 Share Awesome! They are on Voortrekker Rd in Alberton, opposite the SupaQuick or some tyre fitment centre (south side of Alberton city mall). Speak to Amina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules Posted December 29, 2009 Share Thanks Kieran. Took a trip to Kayalami today. Ended up buying the brake levers you mention. But they are Campy and I'm looking for Shimano. They didn't have any Dura Ace 7400 levers or hoods. So I'm still hunting... I very nearly bought a beautiful rear Campy derailleur but on closer inspection I noticed it was missing a bolt so I left it there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jules Posted December 29, 2009 Share I very nearly bought a beautiful rear Campy derailleur but on closer inspection I noticed it was missing a bolt so I left it there. Surely a bolt can be replaced. It was quite an important bolt: the one that secures the derailleur to the frame/drop out. It may be replaceable but I wasn't prepared to take the risk, especially considering I was already buying a pair of levers I didn't really need....

javadude Posted December 29, 2009 Share I just got DA hoods like those from Totalcycling. Took the snail mail option and took about a month to get here. They are not as jacked as CRC though so had to send a couple of follow up emails to find out if they had been shipped. http://www.totalcycling.com/index.php/product/parts_accessories/retro_bicycle_components/BH_7401.htmlvelo2009-12-29 08:01:59 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
