Thanks for the quick check. Yeah, as Spaghetti Legs said, this bike appears to be 400mm on a 58cm frame, so I don't think I'll have the same luck. I wish they gave it just a little more space like on...

It's a beauty. The fully chromed seat stays look good! It says a lot that you were able to use it on gravel. Maybe that EL tubing isn't necessarily quite as flimsy as people say.

Regarding the...

Noted! Thanks for the tips. The stem is stuck so I'll need to be careful when trying to wedge it free.

No chevrons here, otherwise identical. I'm glad you mentioned the rear tire clearance because it came with 23mm's and it's tight.

It was originally listed at $700 on FB Marketplace. I figured we'd end up around $650, but the seller took my initial offer of $575!

My New Ride -- mid-90s Ciocc EL-OS

After a few years of riding around on my first road bike -- a 1985 Club Fuji held together mostly by hopes and dreams -- it was time for an upgrade. I picked up this beautiful Ciocc today with...

1982 Schwinn Voyageur SP (vs '83-'85)

I've always played with the idea of getting a touring bike, so I occasionally do local Marketplace and Craigslist searches for Miyata 1000s, Univega Specialissimas, and Schwinn Voyageur SPs. Of...

I nearly forgot to provide an update! The threaded ferrules worked perfectly. It took a bit of finesse to get them screwed in, but it immediately solved the problem. I also tried the non-threaded one...

Could you explain where the the threaded ferrule screws in? I was slightly incorrect in my original post; I have AGC 251 levers, rather than AGC 250. I understand how the round one works -- it...

Hi All,

I've been fixing up a 1985 Fuji roadbike with Dia-Compe brakes and AGC-250 levers. The previous owners had clearly not taken care of the bike, so I decided to totally disassemble the...

I ended up passing on it. It's a pretty big project even if it does fit. And I don't think it's that good of a deal. It's presently $450 and missing at least some of the original components.
