NEW MAGS!

Well its taken a lot of bidding and disappointment over the past few yrs but finally I have "The" set of mags I have always wanted for my "Master".






Currently on there way from the US these BAD BOYS will be laced in 36 hole C Record low flange hubs polished to perfection and wrapped in Vittoria CX rubber (never to hit the pavement either) and will be the finishing touch to my Colnago Master built with 1st Generation C Record components!

Watch this space....

one step at a time Glenn...one step at a time!

....and so it continues, the display project is slowly but surely making progress and I feel I am now at a stage where I can see the light at the end of the tunnel, or is that the sparkling cranks at the end of the tunnel?(and oh how they sparkle!)

Just got the gold chain rings back from the polisher and they have come up much better than I first expected they would (Escort Metal Polishers in Christchurch are a fantastic little family company that do an awesome job, highly recommend them for any fine and fiddly jobs big or small, thanks guys!)


Dont ya just love the contrast between the mirror polished cranks and the gold chain rings, cant wait to throw in the carbon fibre brackets with polished finish to really finish off the mix of modern/retro.....

Just cos I can I have added these couple of shots with a white back ground to bring out the Gold of the project.....you be the judge....







keep watching for the next installment of the project......Ride safe, G

1st Generation C Record Parts......WANTED



As you can see this fine piece of equipment is missing the most important part....the hanger bolt that attaches it to the frame.

I have done my research from the Campagnolo Catalogue n. 18 bis and need the following parts to restore this beauty back into working order for one of my many projects.

If anyone can please help with the listed part numbers below I would be very very grateful.

Parts required are

#7350142 Bolt
#7260078 Spring
#7116064 Backing plate

I realise these parts are more than likely like trying to find a needle in a hay stack but ya never know until ya ask a!

thanks for reading....
