Hi all,
I just took my completely remodelled Apollo VI (circa 1982) for a successful
test ride. I managed to transplant Campag Chorus 10 speed derailleur,
brakes, hubs, Centaur ergo levers onto a newly space blue powder coated
frame. Brooks pro saddle and new white cork tape to finish. Looks
brilliant.
I managed to keep the old front derailleur on as someone advised here
previously.
At this time I would like to thank everyone on this newsgroup who helped me
with their kind advice as I am sure I would have needed serious bike shop
intervention without it! You peoples are the best!
In the end, I still needed a bike shop to help me to remove the headset cups
and put them back in but not a bad effort.
Ebay truly did save me a packet, but I think I got reamed on the wheels as
that's the only parts which are clapped out. Still, they are only for
training and BMXing on [love those bunny hops] (not really...well, actually
it's true, I cannot tell a lie) .
After a 50km ride today I can attest that it pisses on my carbon Bianchi
from a VERY great height.
Cheers & thanks again!
