About ten or twelve bucks online, slightly more wherever fine bicycle chains are sold in brick and mortar stores. Peened pins, non-directional, and comes with an included quick link for joining that is re-usable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donkpow Posted February 6, 2019 Share #154 Posted February 6, 2019 My guess would be that's how the chain came from the factory. Unless Page Turner is an expert rivet spinner. The 8 spd SRAM chains I use come in different qualities of finish and price. I can imagine that every now and then a link of lesser quality ends up in a HQ chain. Could be second quality merchandise. Could be defective finish on a couple of links. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no practical negative consequence to running a chain like that, unless the defect is severe. Chains that have no plating of any kind on the links are still run for many thousand miles.

Page Turner Posted April 29, 2019 Author Share #157 Posted April 29, 2019 A Battaglin from when they started welding them instead of lug brazing them together. This was when Dura Ace 8 speed brifters were a thing. This bike actually got raced locally by a Cat 3 guy here, who sold it to me when he went to plastic. Second iteration with me. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An instant tour of Europe, right here on the Square Wheels Cycling Forum. NO air travel required. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a magician! I have a newly built set of wheels, and all the stuff to make it a full Campy race machine (with Universal side pulls). I'm just waiting a week or ten days for the paint to be fully cured beyond any doubt before I put it together. Then I will ride it. It came off the Craigslist here, from some guy down in Modesto, who is not much of a biker and has had it in his garage ever since some guy he knew gave it to him. The story is that guy found it in a dump over at one of the military bases near there (most of which are now closed). So I figure it probably came back with some AF guy, who rode it a while and lost interest. Easier to landfill it than figure out what to do with it back then. Anyway, that's my theory. It looked less nice before I painted it. It's about a 1970-71 frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Page Turner Posted August 29, 2020 Author Share #165 Posted August 29, 2020 ...so having read that, I have been paying closer attention to the small details on mine as I reassemble it. I already knew from the numbers stamped into the steerer and BB shell it was from about 1970-71. I checked out the head badge rivets, and sure enough they are self tapping screw type, not pop rivets. All of which means it might be a "shop bike". Or it might still be a factory bike. Who knows ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Page Turner Posted August 30, 2020 Author Share #167 Posted August 30, 2020 ...turned out pretty nice, if I do say so myself. I had a lot of extra time to work on it, because the air quality here is still so bad I can't ride in it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
