I'm looking for a pair of 8spd Campy down tube shifters. Think I'd be able to find these locally?

Verry nice Bike' date=' what would you sell that for, if you would?[/quote'] What would be practicle would be largely unattainable and therefore not for sale!? I guess it is like old cars! There's no book value so it is basically what you are prepared to pay for it. I know the history of the Moser so I was prepared to hoes a bit to get it.

Fransico Moser held the hour record for 9 years and in 1993 the nobody Graham Obree aka THE FLYING SCOTSMAN, on a "washing mashine" self made bike broke the record. A week later Boardman broke the record again. However Obree did manage to break the record again at a later stage

How is it that Colnago has so much influence that they can have groupsets stamped with their labels?

 

Rabobank's Shimano parts were all stamped with the clover

 

I can't recall ever seing any other bike brand with their labling stamped on groupo's

Now I'm on the lookout for some 8spd shifters.

Yebo yes, BB. Means I've had to make some slight changes to my plans. I've either got to convert the ratchet in my 10spd shifters to 8spd or find another pair of shifters.

 

 

 

Anyone keen to swap me good condition 8 spd Ergos for a pair of good condition Centaur 10spd Ergos?

Why not get yourself a set of 8 speed downtube shifters. I bought a set recently from the UK. The guy still has some in stock.

 

I've got 8 speed Mirage shifters, but they not worthy of a swap with the 10sp Centaurs.
