Excellent restoration and assembly! It's keeping history alive. Reviving a vintage road bike is a fascinating thing these days. Here in Brazil, we have one that is a cultural icon called: Caloi 10. In the 1970s and 1980s, it was the dream of many. Greetings from this Brazilian vintage road bike enthusiast.

This bike was all rusty and tired, now look at it! Beautiful! Always good to see old bikes back on the street. Pity you couldn't help the old RSX shifters with new hoods - these shifters usually work just fine if you clean them as you did, but the hoods are hard to find and/or expensive.

Looks nice - you did a great job restoring it. I have kept my 1994 Cannondale R300 in the garage in between rides and it is still serving me well after 30 years and looks pretty close to new, with no rust that I can find. It has the blue/purple fade paint job that still looks amazing after three decades. Most components on my bike are original except for wheels - one wheel had fatigue cracks at nipples and Mavic gave me a new built rear wheel with a Shimano 105 hub in the early 2000's and I recently replaced the front wheel with a new Mavic/Shimano 105 hub since the original's bearings gave out. I got rid of the Dia-compe brakes soon after purchasing the bike in 1994 because they were so poor and have been very happy with the 105 dual pivot brakes since I put them on the bike. The Exage EX500 derailleurs and crank are in great shape, though I on the third or fourth chain. I think I probably have about 10,000 -12,000 miles on the bike - not much for 30 years.

@@garysprojects thanks. Now that I am thinking about it maybe the bike has closer to 20,000 miles on it. (I put at least 15 miles a week on it as ride a hybrid on gravel several times a week). In any case, it is a great bike and I don’t think I can bring myself to get rid of it.

I have this frame and am fixing it up. Ordered new tires - was sent one that was the wrong size (thanks Amazon). 28’s wouldn’t fit on the rear - the front derailleur was in the way. 700x28’s do fit on the front tire.
@garysprojects
@garysprojects 9 месяцев назад
Good to know ! At the end of the day happy with the 25c as the frame will have a bit of flex when you pedal hard. I however did have someone run it with 28s and had no problem but I think depends on the type of tyre / rim you use as well. All brands are slightly different in width even if stated the same size unfortunately 😂

in place of a proper hanger alignment tool ive found putting a derailleur then with the allen key still in the derailleur bolt (a long allen works best) i use the allen key to gently bend the hanger while using my hand on the whole derailleur to help out. you may need to tighten/loosen the bolt to find the proper angle that you need to bend. Works well if you go slow checking your adjustments often. Most effective with brazed on steel of course but i've saved many alu hangers

quick tip on getting the UG cassette cog off, since i didn't have a second chain whip either: I used an old chain wrapped around the largest sprocket and clamped the chain down in a vice to hold the wheel in place. Then I used the chain whip on the smallest thread on cog to remove the cluster. Works a treat 👍

A little thing to point out because you were talking BioPace - They're really good if you have knee problems. I tore my MCL, and having a set of these on my bike has been a life-saver - I have an easier time pushing a BioPace 48t front and 13t back (108 gear inches) then a round 42t front 12t back (103 gear inches). The Patent on Biopace Expired a bit ago, I really would love to see like, someone do a 36t Narrow-Wide Biopace for 1x, the design actually lends itself to slower pedaling speeds you'd experience while doing gravel or mountain biking and makes it feel like you're pushing a smaller gear then you are.

Ahhh that’s good to know thanks for sharing ! Didn’t they recent release oval chainrings again into the bike industry ? Can’t remember. Thanks for the info !
@alaricpaley6865
@alaricpaley6865 11 месяцев назад
@@garysprojects the newer oval chainrings offsets can make them feel about 2t bigger or smaller depending on how they're indexed, but BioPace by not being a true oval feels way smoother to ride, the ramp into the bigger part of the chainring happens at a much more controlled pace. The best way I can describe it working is if you stand to pedal, Biopace smooths out your 'stomp' so you don't give your knee whiplash at the bottom of the stroke. On that note, if you index oval or biopace to increase power output, it makes it real easy to thrash your knees - Imagine it feeling like you shifted from a 36t in the front at 3 o'clock to a 32t as you hit 5-6. If you know what you're doing, it can aid in power transfer, but if you don't you're going to hurt yourself as it effectively makes the gear easier to push and speeds you up on the recovery part of your pedal rotation.

You may want to trim the handlebar shim to fit beneath the stem clamp- as they are, they will tend to trap dirt, but worse, pose a hazard to cutting a finger. Otherwise, nice build!

Hey Gary, this looked like way more than 0.7mm. You are plenty good with 28mm tires in that frame. Cheers
@garysprojects
@garysprojects Год назад
It’s 0.7 mm clearance if I fit 28c on, I only have 25c on right now, however if I ever get a space 28c I will def try it!! Cheers!

Great job. I liked that you have installed the shift handles on the down tube, but I do not like the pedals. They should have been smaller and grey, just like the levers. Second, the brake handles would have been nicer in silver. Regards.

that's so weird, I managed to get new hoods for my bike from 70es "universal cx", somebody is doing a really good replica so it's not "new old stock" but brand new which is important for rubber, and yet you can't find hoods from 90es. That sucks, and probably the further we go, the more proprietary product will be harder to find, so you'll always end up having to buy completely new stuff, that's what they want you to do in planned obsolescence. That's why I'll stick to my old bike which I rode for more than 25 years now.

I trust these frames more than the more recent ones….. they seem to have pure aluminum versus recycled aluminum. Excellent rebuilt……

@JohnPilling25
@JohnPilling25 Год назад
@@garysprojects frames are generally 6061 Aluminium though there are a few 7005 (my Kona for example). All aluminium extrusion/wrought alloys are made from virgin aluminium unless the manufacturer actually sold one the alloy in the first place and they know exactly what it is. The problem with scrap is that the exact composition is generally unknown so it can't be recycled into specific alloys but is used as feed for casting alloys.
