BuffsVintageBikes Posted January 8, 2019 Posted January 8, 2019 I took delivery of this little resto project yesterday. It's an early 90's Sancini with CRO.9 SL tubing (whatver that may be?) and a complete Exage300EX groupset.All original including the tires. Not a top of the range bike in its time but still in very good nick, especially the paint job. It's already in pieces on my work bench and ready to receive some love & care.

BuffsVintageBikes Posted January 15, 2019 Posted January 15, 2019 Any chance one of the Resto crowd has a 26.4mm seat post similar to this one up for grabs?The Sancini has a steel post and it just doesn't gel with the bike so I'd like to replace it.
Barry_W Posted January 15, 2019 Posted January 15, 2019 Any chance one of the Resto crowd has a 26.4mm seat post similar to this one up for grabs? Have you asked Nils, Woodstock Cycle Works? He might have one.
BuffsVintageBikes Posted January 15, 2019 Posted January 15, 2019 Thanks, I just so happened to pop in there this morning after posting this and managed to come right
DJR Posted January 15, 2019 Posted January 15, 2019 Niels has every size seat post ever made in his shop, OK, maybe some aliens made seatposts on Mars that he may or may not have, but earthly ones, I would bet money on him having. BuffsVintageBikes 1

Just an update on my Sancini, the resto job is complete. The good condition of the bike made this a really quick and painless restoration, mainly only requiring new grease on all bearings, fresh cables and lots of elbow grease to get it shining again. The paint work is still mint and just needed a wax polish to bring out the lovely metallic flake. EvanB, quintonb, Beattbox and 4 others 7
BuffsVintageBikes Posted January 24, 2019 Posted January 24, 2019 Next on the workbench is this 1970 odd Raleigh that I bought from @Eppie earlier this week. The strip down has already happened. Hairy, IH8MUD and DJR 3
Hairy Posted January 30, 2019 Posted January 30, 2019 where have you been finding these gems? Rumour has it that the bike was kept outside in the garden, but I am still trying to find out the full history.
BuffsVintageBikes Posted January 30, 2019 Posted January 30, 2019 Thought I'd share some before and after photo's as I'm progressing through this build. If anyone knows where I can source a 1 inch Raleigh headset in SA please let me know. The Raleigh headset is a proprietary headset with a 26TPI so standard or french headsets don't work on it. The fork and frame I hit with Autosol metal polish and lots of elbow grease. Wayne pudding Mol, IH8MUD, seanp and 1 other 4
