Reminds me of the Jack Taylor Rough Stuff. I think the calipers vs
cantilever is more of the shame than losing the swoopy tube. Overall a good
lookin bike.

This is the smaller version of the BagBoy. You can read about some of the
differences here:

It is quite well used. I trimmed the strap, as you can see, as it always
dangled and I never stuffed it so full that I ever needed all that strap.

Hi Folks
A good thread here to ask a question, somewhat related. A coworker was
lamenting that a spoke broke on his Campy Nucleon rear wheel. I suggested
Gerd Schraner web pages for info on the wheel (2002 era). But I could not
find a link to the darn web page. Only his book. Got link?

Well, too late now, but thanks for the input. I'll have to check them out.
I would have liked a local option.

Hi Cat,
Sorry to hear about your frustrations. The last time this happened to me, I
futzed with it for too long before giving up and replacing the cassette,
chain rings, and chain all together. That solved it. Just for the record:
you have replaced the cracked rim, yes?
As for 1x, in my

This is just not the case. Quill stems are not like seat posts*.
*Threadless* stems are more like seat posts. With quill stems the stem HAS
to be undersized so you can get

It's clear to me that your bike needs to spend some time in the stand with
a good mechanic -AND- with a good build-curator. It would be nice if both
those people were the same person, but the skillsets are definitely
distinct from one-another. A good mechanic can get the best out of what

I think you are correct - after all this! I now think the movement is just the flex of the exposed quill allowed by the hole of the locknut being just a bit larger than it could/should be.Sent from my iPhoneOn Sep 7, 2023, at 3:11 AM, Joe Bernard wrote:Checked my Face Plater in my custom, it
Well good for you Cat for wanting to stick with Campy parts :))) I too
have an affinity for Italian bike parts and cycling clothing especially.
Do check the rear derailleur hanger alignment for rear shifting issues.
Seeing this was a used frame, hangers can easily get wacked if moved around
Checked my Face Plater in my custom, it shows the same gap as in your video
with the same movement..I never knew! I think it's a tall quill stem being
yanked by wide bars (Boscos in my case) and these are the results. I'm
going to keep riding it as is.

I agree with Patrick that your Veloce FD didn't like the vintage-ish cranks
you're using. The rear shifting (I remember you're using Silver friction
bar-ends) should be fine with that 8-speed cassette and an 8- or 9-speed
chain.
1x would probably work for the kind of gearing you like but yes,
