1980's bottle cage too.

Short it's Campag........... not campy........................

I have 2 x Campag seatpin bolts in my fleet and a pair of Campag Record Look Carbon pedals - why - I have Shimano everything else, but those 'bits' were the best at the time when I bought my two road bikes in the 90's.

Thought the hubs might have been Phil Wood, (i.e. US) but you could see the "R" rotating...........grrrrrrrrrr

TBH, it's gonna be watched by bike nerds like us so we see the Royce hubs........................

Campy, Campy, Campy

We felt tragically nerdy by tragically recognising the distinctive "R" within a couple of seconds. I was thinking "Big them up, dammit, they're British!".

 

[Baggy]

Thanks Mickle, your attention to detail has made me feel a lot less nerdy

 

[Canrider]

To be fair, it sometimes *is* 'Campy' in North America. (You may start your innuendos.........now.)

And Gravy is a) pretty famous and B) conveniently located for a spot on the inception of mountain biking.

How very dare you!

Loving this Tom Simpson film.

 

[Noodley]

The Peugeot bike featuring in the Tom Simpson reconstruction footage has rack eyelets

...and I'm fairly sure those were modern snow poles...

FFS. You wait all decade for a cycling programme and then three come along at once! I've got dishes to wash!

 

[Speicher]

Mickle you have my permission to do the dishes tomorrow.

This prog is fascinating.

Dammit. Missed 'The Ride of my Life'. It's not on iPlayer yet either. Anybody know when or if it's coming round again?

 

[fossyant]

I was a bit peeved as they glanced over the drugs issue..................FFS................. that's what killed him.............

Why did Rob Penn have to ruin the whole show with that dreadful paint job at the end.

He must be colour blind.

Cyclechat fan obviously.

I emailed my freind about his old Peugeot roadie after the Tom Simpson docu, I may be making him an offer for it.

Harworth is 10km from where I live and my neighbour used to ride with Tom at the Harworth Cycle Club. I cycle through there often.
