I do not know the answer to this question but.., La Vie Claire gets my nomination for best Jersey ever, period. Richard (Mondrian) Rose (Toledo, Ohio) P.S. I sure wish Alex @ vintagevelos.com would reproduce that design in wool. Sign me up!

Does anyone know who made the mid-80's LOOK Reynolds 753 frames? I don't think LOOK made their own steel frames.

Looking through the Emilio Bozzi catalog I see quite a few parts made by = "W.A" - seat binder bolts, crank bolts, headsets, pedals, bottom = brackets, etc. Is that the same company as "Way-assauto"? Am I = speeling that right?

Thanks for any info.

Yya kidding me?

It's not even competition unless there's mention of Crumpet.

Sorry chaps, with regard to supremity of KK's (?) sweet dough holes i couldn't agreee *less* - its either 4 for $1 plain donuts from my local family bakery, or 3 for $1 Churros from the street vendor who risks deportation just to make some coin -or- in a real Parisian bistro i quite fancy them high-zoot beignet a la creme's accompanied with a glass of gewurtztraminer or botrytis (when im being taken out for dinner by some lucky chick).

As polite as i can say it - there are three things i wouldn't be caught dead holding; a Krispy Kreme, an L.L. Bean catalogue or a wedding ring. To me they all spell some form of approved bourgeois consumer creeping death/cliche. Iits gotta be cheap and dirty or magnificently lavish and expensive - the same way i like my Crumpet.

Llife is too short to be the same. Art is in the extreme's.

Classic bicycle content: street vendor churros fit great in a jersey pocket and you dont have to get off yer bike and duckwaddle in cleats. I might not have changed the world by buying them but they have saved me on a ride or two.

donuts = dough-buts

Anyway, who's judging this contest?

I may head down just to take the prize with my family recipe for Pavlova. http://www.pastrywiz.com/cakes/pavlova.htm (****)

This was the Cinelli "Colorado Limited Edition" stem and bar. It was made for the Colorado Springs World Championships in 1986. The bar and stem came in a nice black nylon, yellow zippered bag (small duffel style) with the Colorado Worlds logo silkscreened in white.

I think I remember these on the neutral support bikes, blue Eddy Merckxs. Anyone else remember this?

The salvamanubrio is exactly what the words mean: handlebar protect. It is a simple device that was mounted onto upright bars (and less often on drop bars)at the point where one would normally lean the bike up against the wall. Made out of a soft rubber, it would not only protect the chrome on the handlebars, but also prevent the bike from sliding and falling. It should be noted that apart from the occasional stand built into the rear carrier, Italy was very averse to BB mounted kick- stands, so either these handlebar protectors were used on their own or in conjunction with saddle clamp mounted pop-out stays. I have just such a stay on my 30's vintage Bianchi city bike.

The salvatubo is used on step-through frames to protect the finish of the frame when you are stepping through. It is basically a tube that fits over the frame tube.

Dan, Check the archives: http://search.bikelist.org/?SearchString=Gian%20Robert

I've got a Gian Robert, but mine is of the cheaper stamped-steel variety. It seems they did make some high end parts at some point. It'd be great if you could share a photo of your Gian Robert with the list.

Personally I'd put a higher value on the Spence Wolfe built wheels. Spence was an early importer of Cinelli on the west coast (Silicon Valley). Pretty well known guy; there was an article on Spence in the old Winning magazine.

During a busy round of ebay searching and bidding this morning, I noticed that my feedback counter had rolled over into triple digits. 100 feedbacks. Then almost immediately, 101. So I guess I can no longer claim to be a casual e-bayer. And over 90% of these feedbacks are for buying bicycle items.

Of course I'm small potatoes compared to many list members, who are up into 4 digits. But it's time to admit that this bike thing is no longer a casual hobby. Hobby still, but not casual.

I looked at my profile. How appropriate that the item that rolled me over is a pair of Detto Pietro cycling shoes. Lucious black perforated leather with no shrieking, discordant colored patches, not Look, SPD or Time compatible, and no sissy premounted cleats. I'll have to find my pair of TA Anquitel short shank metal cleats (feedback # 35 or so), then find an old Italian cobbler to put them on. I had one of those back in Detroit in the long ago days when I started cycling and needed cleats nailed onto my dutch Medalist shoes. He got excited when he saw the shoes, and told me he had watched Coppi and Bartali dueling in the Giro back when he was a wee lad in the old country. Callow youth that I was, I didn't know what the heck he was gabbing about.

Should I be concerned? Am I out of control? Is this all good for me? Who cares! There's a new bike to put together and the Monson swap meet to prep for. Come on up, and see what I've bought! I think I've still got most of it. And you can buy it from me, so I can go back and buy more stuff!

Not much to say. Stock Shimano STI-model cable stops. Two stops, two bolts. The RH (rear) one is the special ramped type, not a barrel adjuster. $10/set, plus USPS padded envelope shipping (@ $3?). I think I have four sets.

RIGHT !!

I was keeping myself quiet during the "tart" comments .

But , when we start talking about "crumpet" ,

And then to make mention of both "bugger" , and "root" as well !!!

Shocking !! Simply Shocking !!

And I HAD thought that this was a "family" Web-site-posting-what-do-you-actually-call-this-thing-anyway !!

I will close this message by stating , in my very MOST huffy tones ,

Well !! I Never !!
