Subject: [CR]TA obsolite chainrings

Hi folks, Just sourced some more obsolite TA Professional outer and inner "Criterium" pattern chainrings in various sizes. For details check our web-site. On a personnal note...never fit a "FAG" or "FAG type" bottom bracket with plastic cups to a classic frame!!! Having a nightmare of a job removing one from my 1967 Holdsworth Super Mistral,will now have to resort to heat!! Hopefully the paintwork will cope!!NIGHTMARE!!

Brandon,

The 70mm shell certainly implies Italian thread, not to mention the Bottecchia!!

Perhaps just coincidence, but I have had to chase far more Italian threaded BB's than any other. How do the threads look? How dirty/crudded up are the threads?

I have a '68 and the threading is definitely Italian.

Good luck.........

Curt,

Not sure how generator wiring can be more concealed than on a René Herse with "eclairage sans fil" (where the generator wiring is routed through the headset via carbon brushes)? Can you explain?

The reason the French concealed the wires was that it looked cleaner, and was less prone to damage from getting entangled in stuff.

Many French, then and now, transported their bikes by train, where they'd be handled by railway employees, hung in a baggage car, etc. In fact, Ernest Csuka complained how they bent his handlebars on his last trip to the Alps.

Here is a question for the builders and modifiers out there, regarding a

beautiful Torpado track bike that has been made available to me: This bike is about a 57cm (c-c), and I ride a 52. Is there such a thing as reducing the size of a frameset, while still keeping the characteristics that were intended by the master builder? does it really work if so? Is it so difficult to do that it might not be worth the cost? Track frames made by Torpado are pretty scarce, from what I can tell (by CR posts and Ebay, my only to units of measure). So I'm thinking that maybe I should grab this if no other options become available. What do you guys think? Any input will be helpful. Thanks...

BTW, my Ebay ID has changed from 'Fujifishmark' to 'Torpado1', for those of you who keep a list.

Best regards, Mark Agree Oak Park MI

I think Charlie is rather begging to be relieved of the pressure of this jersey!! It will turn out to be the green Meral at this years cirque...possibly pawned from one person to the next. Once again, thanks to all those that drove that bid up to where it currently is....thanks!

Most of the Toei's that I've seen have the generator remote turn on routed through the seat stay internally. Most of the Singer's and Herse's run the remote on the outside of the seat stay. Neither one is better than the other but certainly routing through the seat stay is more labor.

I ordered two copies of the book in September of last year and did not receive anything except notices that the book was delayed until in early March they told me that it was now out of print and no longer available. Therefore I am sorry to say that it is highly unlikely that you will receive your order.

Sorry to give you the bad news!

To put it bluntly, no. Could it be done, sure. . . would it be anything like the original bike, no. Sorry Mark, but your best bet is to try and find someone who will trade you for it. One of my rules is NEVER get bikes too big to ride. I've done it a few times and always regretted it, sometimes you can get an ok trade but that's all. good luck, Brandon"monkeyman"Ives been there, done that in Santa Barbara, Calif. ++++++++++++++++++++ Nobody can do everything, but if everybody did something everything would get done. --Gil Scott-Heron-- +++++++++++++++++++ ------------------------------

It IS possible but the cost and resulting bike would be... strange.

First, you have to realize that all really good bikes change in angles and dimensions as they change size.. So everything is screwed up when you "shrink" a frame.

You have the problem of getting the frame apart... brass brazed, stamped

maybe pinned lugs .. Whew! Some of the bits a pieces would not survive the heat & pulling apart process. Some bits will be warped and fudged up..

Then, all that stuff that is salvageable would have to be cleaned of flux and brass and soot .. Yukky work! Finally the tubes would have to be polished, mitered and reassembled.. My guess is that it would take roughly as long as building a complete new frame if not longer...

Then off to the paint shop..

Would this be worth it? Not in my value system. Even for a really fancy collectible, it would be hard to justify this agonizing procedure

Curt,

Good observation! Herse usually routed the wires through the seatstay, Singer didn't. Since it's a short piece of wire, behind the stay, it is hard to see.
