Vintage bikes- students ask for help!

Hi everyone,

my name is Mindaugas and I'm first year student at ISM University of Management and Economics. Me and my team
are preparing a business plan for launching a Vintage Bikes shop.

Could you please, spare a minute of your time to fill this short survey to identify the customer needs? You would save us an enourmous amount of time, while doing a market research

You will find the survey here: http://bit.ly/1171KXa

We promise to share the results of the survey once done!

Cheers,
Mindaugas

Campagnolo group sets

Hi - I've recently bought a late 90's SAB steel road frame which is beautiful! I want to build it up slowly as a project. Other than ebay does any one have any suggestions for getting hold of Campagnolo group sets? I suspect this is a mission impossible but any hints most welcome

L’Eroica: a good old-fashioned bike ride

Uh-oh! The chain has come off at the start of a steep, chalky climb. So I stop – well, more ‘fall off’ because I was out of the saddle when it happened – and put the chain back on as a dozen riders on classic bikes sail past. I get onto the saddle again, stamp on the pedals and the chain immediately comes off for a second time. I take a closer look… and see that the inner chainring has actually snapped. Damn it! There’s a long way to go and a lot of climbs to scale in just the 53-tooth outer ring. This could be tricky.
