Some proper retro metal in this thread now.

The switch infinity linkage on the Yeti is weird.



I refreshed my DMR for summer, new brakes, pedals, bars and some maintenance

Damn, those Yeti look nice...

Blew the budget in 2015 on this, dream bike for me, a bit like my RS2, don't think I'll ever top it

....it's not just me then!
Hoping to take the old Pug to Italy soon but I need a lower gear ratio me thinks.

Cheers, hope to replace the bar tape and hoods soon.

A few times i've found myself nearly at a standstill on some hills with those ratios. You'll want some lower gears in Italy for sure

I think the big cog at back is 26t. My other bike has the same you 42t and 21t and i find it tough on the climbs... gets you sweating a bit!

The San Marco Rolls is new John. Got it from Wiggle.co.uk wasn't much dearer than the used ones kicking around when i was looking.

Bar tape is this stuff

Brake hoods came with the Dura Ace levers. Keep an eye on ebay they do crop up now and again.

Cheers thought a few of you might like this old British steel bike It's a 39t small chain set ring

Ok thanks Mike, I have 42 and finding it a bit tough going 21 on the big one at the back wheel........is yours similar?

PS Is the San Marco saddle new...looks minted.
And where did you get the bar tape and brake lever hoods??

Raleigh just about finished...

SUPERB !

How many teeth does the smaller crank cog have??.........if you'd be so kind.

Can't find any pics, but I bought a Kona Explosif new in about 1995 ish ... almost had to sell a kidney to supplement my income to buy it in those days... still have it, much upgraded, Judy Race forks and a few other bits... XT or XTR in most places... must get it down from my parents loft...

Was pretty good back in the day...
