They certainly WILL NOT be installed on any performance frame, but they might find a place on a "no name" or mass produced frame. The only performance comparison I can make would be in reference to...

Look roubaix , a3.1

Some '90s LOOKs for $7.50 a pair, perfect bearing function. Black pedal bodies are easy to touch up with paint. Nice little feature with the LOOK logo cast into the pedal body, haven't seen this on...

Lyotard and Gian Robert

More scavenging: Lyotard "Marcel Berthet" pedals and Gian Robert mechs from late '50s early '60s. I have no idea what to use the Gian Robert stuff for, but the pedals are English thread and will make...

Thanks for the info; only other Universals I have are very early Mod.51 and 39. I thought the 125s were used in the 70s, but they're fine for the price; $15.
Hope you are doing well; I'm travelling...

Universal Brakes

Some Mod. 125 calipers w/light "gold" anodizing. They must be old; still using stamped logos. Picked from the bike shop's "junk" drawer; even the manager wondered what they were doing in the "budget...

SILVA BB Shell

Thank you for the identification. I am not familiar with most lug/BB shell manufacturers; I have yet to see that shell on another Moser or any other frame. I'm curious as to when Moser started and...

Rossin BB Shell

One of mine also; it looks and is tough (I assume Rossin's proprietary design). I also like this shell from my Moser Leader utilizing an integral bridge design. I don't know the year of the frame nor...

Frame repair

That certainly is an option. I'm not sure as to how paint adheres to that stuff, but it probably would be fine with proper prep.
I have a micro torch that is good for this type of work, certainly...

'50s HURET COMPETITION Rear Derailleur

Hi Steve,

That frame, as determined by myself and others, is a Swiss marque; but it would seem that the frame/fork are all Italian. There are indications that it was built by Giovanni Losa,...
