Crank could be a Solida. Glad to hear the frame is okay, some frame saver and you're good to build. Hope it fits you. LOL, but true. I edited it anyway. I think it is the max I can ride at 58.5cm ctr-ctr seat tube. |
Picked up my first (non-deathtrap) road bike today, a 1995 Schwinn Passage. It cleaned up pretty well, just needs brake pads and tires. I'll probably end up changing out the saddle and the stem for one that's shorter and not black. Don't think the front wheel is original, but both wheels seem pretty beat up so I might end up replacing them or just using the wheelset off of my hybrid since they're both 21 speed. Can't really ride it too well yet since I had collarbone surgery a couple weeks ago, though.
http://i.imgur.com/BrA2Y09.jpg I really like the look of the Exage hoods. http://i.imgur.com/tlTEA3K.jpg http://i.imgur.com/dcTnvXs.jpg http://i.imgur.com/dXE8jv2.jpg Came with some clipless shoes that fit, too! http://i.imgur.com/qh6z3Qm.jpg |
Nice catch ! Shoes to boot( yes, I said it).
Exage hoods are very comfortable and the quick release feature button on the inside side of the hood is great too. Sorry to hear about the wait time before riding. Heal well! |
The Centurion Mixte has been completed, and moved on to a new life. It probably would have been razor blades by now!

Save a bike, don't shave!
Nice job on the restore. Fenders would be the next best thing for that Centurion. |
A pair of NOS Huret super success derailleurs:

1972 (I think) Raleigh Twenty. Lots of original goodness. Crusty, but solid.

Hi, do you still have any of these Daccordi 50th? Im looking for one.

My friend Jason texted me during my ride this morning, and says he has a bike for me. Almost everything original is missing, but hey for the price?? I got two large plastic tubs full of parts, most decent or better. Countless brake levers, derailleurs,, bar end shifters, bottom brackets, pedals, NOS early mtb brake cables(Yep the ones that look like rope) Three pairs of modern handlebars, 3-4 decent floor pumps. I just fixed one with a fingertip full of grease, hehe. But best of all this Austro Daimler Olympian. I think the only things original to the bike is the frame, the RD housing cable stop, and maybe the Mafac Racer on the front. Year I have no idea yet, as I just got home and unloaded everything. Even with all of the low end junker parts tacked on, it's pretty stinking light. I am thinking 23-24 pounds? Not feather light, but lighter than expected for the parts on it. 27.2 seat post.,,,,BD

80-83, from a little looking around. That fits in with the braze ons, etc.,,,,BD

https://scontent-dfw1-1.xx.fbcdn.net...6c&oe=574B1A0B This is with the loooong Le Tour stem bars. I am limited to .833 stems, until I find my Centurion fork. I am not sure where it ended u, as I didn't sell it. Oh well. I will find it.,,,,BD https://scontent-dfw1-1.xx.fbcdn.net...10903361_o.jpg |

A few of my buddies have been into buying storage lockers on line the last couple of months, which is how I picked up a nice ( but dirty ) Nishiki Prestige in my size. Not sure on the year yet but I think it's a 84 or 85 due to the fact that the wheels are 700 & not 27". It has Suntour Cyclone friction components that I would like to find some Cyclone 7000 Accushift Derailleurs to replace them with ( I have the shifters already ). I haven't had the time to check it out yet and get good pictures as I had a major problem with some peg board in my shop which required me to rip it down and start over. While the peg board was down I had to finish some electrical work and insulate.

It's looking better already. The fork would stop moving when I tightened the stem, and I found this, lol!

Or a good reason not to buy crap forks.,,,,BD

About a year and a half ago I responded to an add on Craigslist for a Campagnolo Nuovo record rear derailleur for $15.00! I was even more surprised when the guy still had it. I called him and it turns out he used to race in the early 70's and had a set(front and rear) of Rigida blue label wheels with Stella double butted spokes laced to Record High flange hubs with a Regina Oro freewheel for $40.00 and flat type skewers. All his stuff was in great(dusty) shape, they just needed cleaning and greasing. The derailleur is Pat.73 and the hubs are date stamped 71. When I got to his house he said I could have two medium sized boxes full of odds and ends because he was having trouble finding anyone that wanted the old stuff! When I got home I went through the boxes and found a few Campy tools wrenches and crank puller, bottom bracket stuff and a Cinelli Unicantor saddle. I had spent $60.00. WOW

Had a nice day yesterday at a local swap meet. I met forum member seabass first, picked up a ton of small items and grabbed this Specialized Allez. It needed new tires, tubes, bar tape and the Fizik saddle, that I got at a crazy low price. Carbons not really my thing so this is going to craigslist.I lost 2 of my allen wrenches from my Spin Doctor set, after adjusting my last bike next to my Jeep I layed the 5 and 6mm on top of my Jeep and forgot about them. I was able to pick up a new complete set for $15

Not as nice as all that, but I get to dig into my haul from yesterday after work today. One nice part I have seen so far is a Superbe LE Tech RD, which may get sold, since I may never own one of the 3-4 bikes that was spec'd with one. I mean my friend was literally dumping a half full 30 gallon sized hamper into a tub, :lol:. We shall see what all the tub of goodies yields for me.,,,,BD

Catch of the Day: Two early 90's Pre-Trek KLEIN Quantum II bikes with Campy Chorus and C Record cranks. Mismatched wheels, but the frames are immaculate, and you can't beat that purple fade paint job!

Found this in the trash today, the person who put it out actually helped me lift it into the car. He was really surprised that the front wheel wasn't on the bike because, when he had put it out 10 minutes earlier, it was the complete bike. He said that he rode it a lot but, aside from the bar tape, the bike looks pretty minty, it just has a find layer of garage dust.
