I did not read all of the posts here but it's really nice to see this thread.
I have searched much and looking for a crank for my 1997 DBR Racing response, brushed 7005 aluminum.
One of the last real DBR's.
20 years and it's still all original and I have put many miles on it.
I need a crank and cannot find it anywhere.
The crank is not really that bad but getting to the point of too loose.
It's not super high end but I really love the bike and it's super balanced and a great bike.
Any input will be greatly appreciated!
^^^ That Italvega is sweet. I like the chrome, drillium Campy, and large tires.
I recently picked up a new project. It's a 1975-76 Raleigh Super Course MKII. It was hiding out in a super vague CL ad for a bunch of Columbia 3 speeds. The price was rediculously low. It's missing the Brooks saddle and has a bit of patina, but is in great shape overall.
Currently it's torn down to the frame, it's been washed and polished and the bottom bracket and headset have been cleaned and relubed. I plan on keeping it pretty much stock, replacing the consumables. I have a nice ideale 90 leather saddle that should match the French components the bike came with.
Picture as found:

long time no post - here is the semifinal of the bike I build for a syrian student here in Berlin. Semi - he shall ride it till fall from now for having time for some tuning - and then will get paintjob (RAL-color oriental red matte) in winter.
designed by Peter Grisley, a Grisley Mega10
Found the frame for him in the classifieds and built it with DX groupset. The fork is bit too modern Monitou elite and I had to modify a little for canti-use. But - I wanted to use up some parts i had in stock. Opposing to the fat look it is quite light. It's in main for city use - I told him if he wants go to countryside/offroad to stock a second wheelset.

Quality bike , I love specialized bikesJust bought this specialized epic m4 2 days ago as a birthday present for myself. Its basically stock. Asides from the chain snapping 30ft from my house when I went to take it for a ride its in pretty good condition for being 13 years old and the purpose for which it was built for.

We added a new Roll to the fleet this summer. I kept thinking about buying myself a second Specialized, used, as a project bike, but I am now leaning more towards upgrading my primary bike to carbon fiber (probably one of the Sirrus Carbon models) and using my Crosstrail Disc as the spare. The clunky old Schwinn steel frame has to go. I didn't mind cleaning up the Crossroads Sport for my daughter, but these days I don't want to be screwing around messing with a bike--I just want to ride.Quality bike , I love specialized bikes
