I brought it out of storage a couple weeks ago and just finished the build a couple of days ago. I suppose I was chasing the seller's remorse from my sale of my 2005/2006 Discovery Channel Trek 5.9, which was such a fun, great bike to ride. </span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">This frame came to me from a fellow vintage bike enthusiast, and yes, one could argue that an early 2000s carbon fiber (gasp!) bike does NOT qualify as a vintage racing bicycle, to that I say - Phletph! It's my site! :D</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">I removed components from my Time VXRS ULTeam Tom Boonen Special Edition (I challenge you to find a longer name for a bicycle) and am <span style="color: #2b00fe;"><a href="https://post.craigslist.org/manage/7618681507?action=display&go=display" target="_blank"><b>selling that frame RIGHT NOW</b></a>,</span> if you're interested. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">The black Campy Record group with the black/blue Andromeda paint scheme on this bike is stunning, if I do say so, myself. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">And no - it's not for sale at this time. I'll post it on my my <a href="https://www.facebook.com/VintageRacingBicycles" target="_blank"><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><b>VRB Facebook page</b></span></a> if that ever happens, so join and stay tuned. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">In the meantime, you may be wondering how it rides. I have no idea. I need to put pedals on it today and take it for a spin. I envision the ride is like butter. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Happy pedaling, ya'll!</span></p><p><br /></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-126898863478033647.post-90893103325699420072023-05-06T20:55:00.003-07:002023-05-08T20:27:32.231-07:001984 Peugeot PZ10E<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

My wife and I rented a beach cottage near Fiscalini Ranch and had a splendid weekend. I didn't do the ride on Sunday, but enjoyed much of what the festival had to offer. This time around, though, I didn't purchase anything at the swap as I had three years ago during my visit. I have too many parts sitting in drawers already.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">As you can see, the bikes on display represented many of the finest around - brought here by collectors from far and wide. <a href="http://www.classicrendezvous.com/Bike_Shops/Ted_Ernst.htm">Ted Ernst</a>, who just turned 90 a few days ago, was one of the judges. Few men his age have got the zeal and pep he does. Great to see Ted out there accompanied by another judge, looking over the minute details of these vintage beauties as he made his rounds - what a true classic and class act he is, himself, in so many ways. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">I did bring a bike up here to Cambria to ride around. It's my newly-built Klein ebike conversion, and it was very helpful climbing the hills in this neighborhood - see photos, below. I look forward to coming back here again next year for another Eroica and more of the same beautiful bikes, wonderful scenery, and terrific people. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

I've had several Galli parts over the years; mostly cranksets and brakesets, and they all seemed to work fine. They didn't have the finish that Campagnolo did, but they all functioned admirably. Galli had some fantastic anodized brake levers and calipers in the 1980s that really looked great when paired with the right paint job on your frame. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Chime in if you've had any experience with Galli parts.

font-size: medium;">This bike came to me a week ago and it instantly became my #1 project. The frame, as you can see, is beautiful, with only a few minor paint chips. Turns out the Red #140 nail gel from our local Dollar Tree is a near-perfect match for the Allez candy apple paint. As this already had a great red and black theme going, I wanted to strengthen it even more. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">That San Marco Regal saddle is pristine, so it's getting bagged and saved for another project. I bought a new red/black Selle Italia X3 on eBay that will go on this. Yeah, I know... new saddle on a 35 year old bike... so sue me... it'll look terrific. Plus, this isn't supposed to be a totally retro build. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">The Cinelli bar tape got trashed and replaced with red/black tape, which looks great. Replaced those levers, which I always thought were perhaps the ugliest brake levers ever produced, with Modolo Professional black levers with black hoods. The Modolo Speedy brake calipers are being replaced with black Modolo Professional calipers. Leaving the crankset (Specialized), front and rear mechs (Shimano 600 SIS) as they are. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">The black annodized downtube shimano shifters are SO cool. Pedals are off for now (Look Keo II) and will be replaced by something black... still not sure on those. Seatpost (Thompson Elite) is staying. Replaced the Salsa stem with an ITM black stem. Handlebars got replaced with black 44cm ones, as well.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Next up, brake cabling and replacing the chain. Then... posting new photos here. Stay tuned! </span></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-126898863478033647.post-76810077143433799422021-11-17T21:50:00.005-08:002021-11-17T21:54:06.386-08:00Suntour Cyclone GT - Early Model Rear Derailleur<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

The teeth are worn on the pulleys... but man, it was worth the price of admission. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">The whole bike, including a 9/10 Campagnolo Super Record crankset and 7/10 Campagnolo super record brakeset set me back $145.

It's a lovely specimen, early 2000s Kestrel 200SCI with full Dura-Ace group. Some of these were outfitted with lesser components, so I jumped at this one when it showed up on CraigsList. Previous owner rode it three times, so it's in pristine condition.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I started cycling seriously in the early 1980s - well, seriously-enough for me. I didn't race, but rode a lot with clubs, friends, sponsored rides. Some of the mid-level bikes of that era were heavy, not very pretty, but I always loved the bold graphics and colors of the Raleigh Racing USA series. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This fine specimen came to me by way of eBay. A local (20 miles away) seller was offering it at a price I just couldn't pass up. I ordinarily collect more higher-end bikes, but this one was so well-preserved, that it simply begged to be brought home. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Something that I always look for is the condition of the chrome. Since this bike has chrome forks as well as a fully-chromed rear triangle, it was crucial to me that its condition was excellent - which it is. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Obviously kept clean and dry for the past 35 years, this bike has only minimal cosmetic damage. A few nicely-matched paint touch-ups, tiny spots here and there on the chrome, a couple small scratches on the decals... very, very clean. It's been ridden and well-loved. My favorite bikes to collect. :)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I had the privilege to visit Classic Cycle on Bainbridge Island in Washington state. The shop is large, but as the owner, Paul mentioned, there is only room for 50 bikes along the top portion of the walls in the shop. Fifty isn't anything to sneeze at, but their collection is quite a bit bigger and they can all be seen on their website, <a href="http://classiccycleus.com/home/" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: blue;">here</span></b></a>. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">No sense going into details, as the photos do the talking. You can find my pics <a href="https://flic.kr/s/aHskE6o1rf" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;"><b>here</b></span></a>. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Honestly, I didn't even look at the modern bicycle offerings in the store, but judging by the well-stocked shelves, terrific merchandising, and overall friendliness of the employees, I'm sure that Classic Cycle will have anything you need and deliver it in style. </span></div>

Schwinn Paramount with full Campagnolo. This curved seat tube (short-coupled) model was available in 1975 - 1978. Built for criterium races or for riders who wanted the quicker handling that a shorter wheelbase provides, these are more rare than the standard models form this era. </div>

The vendor selling this Paramount asked $1,200, but was willing to accept offers. I have a rule that I don't collect bikes that don't fit me, plus this one isn't on my list of "must-haves" so I passed on it. </div>

This swap meet is held monthly at Veteran's Stadium in Long Beach, California. This is primarily a motorcycle swap, but there are about two dozen bicycle vendors, as well. The majority of the bicycle spaces are filled with balloon tire or BMX bikes. I was hoping for vintage steel racing bicycles, but there were very few - not worth the $10 admission price for the swap, but no regrets... had to check it out and it was nice to stroll around hoping to find some deals. </div>

Bought this Fuso from the original owner. This is all-original, no part substitution except the bottom bracket. The owner installed a sealed BB about 20 years ago. It's in immaculate condition - even the bar wrap is original and in great shape. You can find a lot of great information on Dave Moulton's frames, his life, his achievements, on his blog <a href="http://davesbikeblog.squarespace.com/blog/2017/2/13/it-is-the-30th-anniversary-of-my-30th-anniversary.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;"><b>HERE</b></span></a>. </div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">My friend, Jesse had a mint Campagnolo 10-speed groupo that he was willing to part with, so here's the Merlin with the mean, lean Campy setup. Since these photos were taken, I went ahead and added the Merlin decals to the frame. I think I like it with the decals - more authentic to it's legacy. </span></div>

More of a "before" show and tell at this point. I plan on outfitting this with black Campagnolo Chorus or Record from the early to mid 90s. I just purchased new decals from Velo-Cals, as well - soooo... the next post will reveal the "after" pics. This Merlin is not an Extralight - just the 3/2.5 Titanium variety from 1989 or 1990. Feel free to chime in if you have any info to share on Merlin road bikes from this era. Serial # 1894</div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I found the Centurion again during a random conversation with the current owner who mentioned he had a rare Centurion Equipe. I said, "Oh, I had one of those, but sold it about a year ago." He sent me a couple of photos and I was able to confirm, from touch-up paint and other small details, that it was, indeed, my old bike! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The owner mentioned his plans to leverage the frame's Cinelli legacy and turn it into a one-of-a-kind Cinelli Equipe frame. He chose the color for the frame after driving by a local BMW dealer and seeing a Mini in the lot. The precise paint details are: <i><span style="background-color: white;">BMW-Mini <span class="il">Color</span> "Electric Blue Metallic", Mini code 870. </span><span style="background-color: white;">The <span class="il">Cinelli</span>'s <span class="il">paint</span> is Matrix Brand, "Performance Basecoat" code MBP-LV-113822. </span></i></span></div>

<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I bought this Colnago mainly for its unusual color. I've never seen one in seafoam green, have you? Campagnolo Super Record components throughout except for the rear derailleur, which is Nuovo Record. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I think the chain ring is for a 1970s model, but it doesn't have to be era-correct to be cool. :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The seatpost is not a Colnago, it's a Celo Europa. </span><br />

Sorry - not for sale. I purchased these from an estate sale last week. Got a decent price on them and, of course, figure they're keepers. Rare to find anything "new in box" from 30 years ago. These are from the early 1980s from my research. Either way, this was the heyday of my road riding and the beginning of my passion for collecting bikes. I couldn't afford Campagnolo back then. At 20 years old, I could barely afford the newly-designed Shimano 600 group, but that's what I put on my Batavus Professional frame - my first "good" bike frame. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The Batavus frame is pearl white with blue decals, and I always thought it would look stellar with these blue Modolos. The question then is - do I live for the moment and build the bike up with the Campy and these Modolos it deserves, or keep these brakes in-box for their collectible value and show-off potential? I suppose, if this is the only thing I have to keep me awake at night, life must be okay. :)</div>

He changed out the original Campagnolo Nuovo Record crankset for a triple 20 years ago, added fenders, changed the stem to allow for a more upright riding position. He included the original Campagnolo crankset and bottom bracket. I've torn it down to the frame and will clean, rebuild over the next few months - Winter project.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px;">The Reynolds 531 frame and fork and Dupont Imron paint job are in very good condition. It has the original Campagnolo Nuovo Record (Record) headset, which was rusty/corroded, but I cleaned it up and swiped some steel wool across it to really bring it back to life. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Although marketed as a 7-speed SIS derailleur, the 7401 could be used with 6, 7, or 8 speed drivetrains. The industrial design is elegant, the lines, fit, and finish, impeccable. All this reflects the devotion to detail that remains a hallmark of Shimano engineering. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">1986 marked a turning point for road components as Shimano began, finally, to outshine Campagnolo with index shifting technology. It was an exciting time in cycling history as we watched Dura Ace, in particular, but even the Shimano 600 line continue to rise in popularity. For decades, Campagnolo was the pro cyclist's first choice for reliability and performance. At this point, however, we were witnessing something that most hadn't predicted - the gradual but undeniable adoption by pro teams of Shimano Dura Ace. The seemingly-indomitable Italian giant finally had some formidable competition. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I bought this 1977 PX10 two years ago and it's in beautiful, original condition. I really can't find a scratch on it. There's some clear coat problems on some chrome, but nothing too bad, considering that the bike is nearly 40 years old. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I'm keeping the huge, rather ugly reflectors and that pie tin spoke detector on the bike. Plain lugs, nothing fancy other than the chromed stays and fork ends, but still a nice specimen and one I'm proud to own. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Although not a large swap, the Encino velodrome bicycle swap drew a moderately-sized crowd this morning under overcast SoCal skies. The threat of rain later in the day didn't dissuade the sellers who spread their wares on tarps and tables. Great prices and plenty of vintage bikes and gear draws a strong C&V crowd to this quarterly meet. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I walked away with a nice and very shiny 1950s chrome-plated crankset (still need to determine brand), a pair of Serfas cycling eye glasses, pair of toe clips, a pair of Look-branded carbon bottle cages for my (non C&V) Look 585 Team, and some brake pads. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I'll plan on hitting this again in six months. For the vintage enthusiast, it's better than the monthly Whittier swap that I've attended a dozen times over the past few years. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Chime in if you've attended this swap or any other you'd like to share a story about. </span></div>

I've talked about this before; and I'll likely talk about it again. It's something my family and I have grown to accept. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The pair of levers, shown below, came installed on a Motobecane. They were not original to the bike; but that's academic for the sake of this post. Fact is, I have never seen rubber brake hoods in such tragically-odd condition. This folks, is what happens to brake hoods after the bike has been hanging in the loft of a garage in Southern California for 30 continuous years. Seriously - the previous owner hung the bike up in his garage 30 years ago, and just took it down two weeks ago to place an ad on Craigslist. </span><br />

<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The hoods actually melted onto the lever bodies and handlebar. The pics tell the story.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It wasn't difficult to remove the levers, but I faced a significant challenge in cleaning off the coagulated gum rubber. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">At first I used a narrow-blade plastic putty knife; but this proved too flimsy to pry off the congealed goop. Then I remembered a similar situation about two years ago, where the dried, cracked rubber hoods had adhered to a pair of Modolo levers. I used a simple process involving hot water, a plastic calk remover, and patience. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I did the final clean up on the Modolo levers with some mineral spirits or paint thinner - can't remember which. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The same technique worked great for these Superbe levers. I haven't done the final, solvent phase yet, but will when ready to put new hoods on. </span><br />

Lots of rubber had melted into the cable groove. </div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><u>The Takeaway:</u></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Most people reach for the solvents first, and ask questions later. Just remember, water is the universal solvent. I learned that in 8th grade science with Mr Tuttle. He's the same person that taught me about using a Bunsen burner and how eyebrows do, indeed, grow back in six to eight weeks. The lesson here is simpler and much less painful. Never underestimate the power of hot water on loosening up gunky particles, sticky dried-on grease, or melted gum rubber hoods. And please, keep the cards and letters coming. </span><br />
