Ah amazing, thanks for all that info, much appreciated! You've just made me realise that my wife's old bike which is in the attic and has only ridden about 20km since new actually has a 7 speed tourney system. I think I'll look into putting that freewheel on my Sansin/Wolber wheelset, switch...

The CAAD 4 seems to be going well. I had gotten used to the slightly clunky downtube shifting and vintage drivetrain on the BL so the 9sp Ultegra on the CAAD 4 is like a dream! So much so that I'm now considering trying to get a modern Shimano system on the BL. I'd keep all the original parts...

After thinking about it for a while I've decided to keep the BL mostly housed and pick up another bike for everyday use. For the time being I don't have an indoor storage area for bikes so I'll put the BL in the attic and keep it covered. I'd be very upset if anything ever happened to it being...

Thanks! I'll definitely keep an eye out. I think I'll just ride it as it is until it can't be brought back to life. I only ride about 20km a week so that may be sometime seeing that it seems to be working well at the moment! I can see a few NOS oval tech rings but none that are black in the...

The rings on it now are SR. The black Suntour Superbe that I mentioned in my first post turned out to be the wrong BCD so I didn’t end up getting them. I can see black SR roundtech’s on eBay with the right BCD but it would cost me $150 or to get them to Aus so I am just going to stick with...

Thanks guys! Cool, I couldn't see it in any of the catalogs so good to know the edge and oval tech rings are original! The code on the frame is 58101188167 so I guess it was made in 88 for the 89 release. I actually kind of prefer the cantilever dropouts to be honest. Makes the bike look a...

Found this on fb marketplace for a few hundred and the seller even delivered it to me! It had most of its original components but was in pretty bad shape, pretty sure it still had the original tyres and chain which was stretched nearly an extra inch. Here's what I did: - Somehow bought a...
