Jules Posted August 15, 2009 Posted August 15, 2009 Wayne, that is pure porn! What's wrong with the pulleys? Here are some pics of the wheels on the bike.
Delgado Posted August 15, 2009 Author Posted August 15, 2009 beautiful steed Jules!! Would you be interested in a spare set of Campag Delta Strada tubby wheels???
GreyOwl3.0 Posted August 15, 2009 Posted August 15, 2009 I know where to get brand new Campy brake levers! Non Ergo Power type. If interested just ask and I'll send you to the source!!
Jules Posted August 15, 2009 Posted August 15, 2009 @Delgado: thanks man! What do you think I ought to do with her: down tube shifters or ergos? Thanks for the offer of the wheels but let me first get this baby on the road. I've only ever had two rides and both were with Sh1tmano @Greyowl: where are the levers?
Delgado Posted August 16, 2009 Author Posted August 16, 2009 Go downshifters for sure!! Keep her original ........ I can loan you some Shimano ones if you need in the meantime...............?
dollar Posted August 16, 2009 Posted August 16, 2009 Great thread! My projects have slowed a bit of late. Was away for a bit. Had a look at my stock of frames vs bits and it looks like I need to build rather than scrounge bits for a while. Long of components, short of built bikes. Latest "work in progress" - an old steel Look & a Bridgestone - still not finished. Built a fixie with and old waterpipe pug frame - jeez what a nice smooth + SILENT ride. All you can hear is the road noise! Trying to ride the fixie backwards - has anybody ever perfected this?? Re-building a Mongoose for my daughter. Interesting little bike - also "retro". Anyone got a decent retro headset lying about - even a Tange will do. Also - who has any old Suntour stuff?
Jules Posted August 17, 2009 Posted August 17, 2009 Yebo yes' date=' 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? [/quote'] ? Hey Jules. If you are still keen on 8spd ergos' date=' I will have a set available by the end of this week or next week. Will let you know which model they are when I get them....[/quote'] Wayne, thanks I'd be interested. Have been talking to Velo about his Mirage shifters but obviously it would be nice to have a pair that's Chorus or Record. I like the idea of down tube shifters but this is a bike that I plan to do quite a bit of riding and even racing on, and I'm not sure how happy I'll be about going back to down tube shifters.
Jules Posted August 17, 2009 Posted August 17, 2009 Nice machine GT and it looks like it's in good nick too. I like the chrome and what looks like a columbus sticker on the fork? Are those Wolber rims?
GTRacing Posted August 17, 2009 Posted August 17, 2009 Nice machine GT and it looks like it's in good nick too. I like the chrome and what looks like a columbus sticker on the fork? Are those Wolber rims? Yes those are Wolbers, and the worst is those are dura ace hubs with bladed spokes.I paid R400.00 rand for this bike and then gave it to a good frind of mine.
Jules Posted August 17, 2009 Posted August 17, 2009 Nice! Hope it's a very good friend, considering that bike is an excellent sample of SA cycling history.

javadude Posted August 17, 2009 Posted August 17, 2009 Look what I managed to get hold of. Record DT shifters. These are ten speed but i may just convert them to 8 speed.

Jules Posted August 17, 2009 Posted August 17, 2009 Those shifters are HOT! I love the little adjuster on the RH shifter.
