True :)
Share the same taper angle, but different nominal sizes. Shimano being slightly larger, will slide on to Campag BB but Campag cranks have too small a taper to fit Shimano BB.

looks like a sweet ride although it mentions a lot of highways :( Nice blog, Canberra has a lot of riding and pathways etc. so easy to get around but soooo cold in winter..... I hate the cold....

Made a few updates to my bike lately, and yes, it's mine, not a rip-off from another site :)

Cut down my bars and found a new way to carry my PB wrench.

Yep, Dura Ace fits sweet,

The shit set in the pics fouls out on the BB as did the original Sugino Messenger cranks, so i bought some Campag Record cranks but they are 135 bcd and couldnt be assed trying to track a decent chainring down and i got the dura ace NJS cranks for $55 with 144bcd so pretty cheering and they dont foul out.

So got some 135bcd Campag Record cranks 170mm for sale if anyone is keen, chasing about $200.

thought i'd post up my ride, it's an old mcbain frame/fork, sugino cranks,a 1980's ex hire bike from the local velodrome, picked up 3 for $100, can't go wrong eh? Painted myself (can't you tell), want to get a proper paintjob but waiting till i decide a cool scheme.



On a slightly more important note, i've got another blue deep v (24h) rear that i want to put onto a track hub to use on this bike, but a 24h rear track hub is not overly common, is it a bad idea to run a 24h rim on a 32h hub?

Finished my $20 (cost of odyssey PC's) fixie today, it's ugly as shit, most likely unsafe to be riding, but I love it.

Will get pics up tommorow
