Wonderful, if you know of the vintage film ‘A Sunday in Hell’ the opening sequence shows a mechanic using one of these stands to work on Francesco Moser’s bike. Thanks for sharing.

Yes I have seen that film several times EM, but I don't remember that scene so I'm going to have to watch it again! Thanks so much for sharing this, made my day, can't wait to see it!! 🙏❤

I've got a homemade stand here that's sort of a copy of this Campy stand. Mine is made from water pipe and mounted on a 2" thick wood base that likely started life as a table top. The BB pad is made from two round bars padded with fuel hose, the arm has a pivoting Y bracket to hold the front tire from turning, and the down tube rest is made from two lengths of rod also padded with fuel hose with a padded J hook that clamps the bike in place with a big wing nut. It came from a local bike shop that operated in the late 50's to the late 80's or so. Its been my work stand for about 30 years or so now. I suppose the original shop owner there built it himself back in the day.

Very nice! In the early 90s, my parents gifted me a stand sold by Performance bike that is similar to yours, only with square tubing and a spring loaded clamp. It has been in my home shop ever since and now I know why I love it. Its design was based off the Campagnolo stand that you have. Thank you for sharing

You mean your parents "gave" you a stand as a gift? ( That's English. )

Fantastic story, Jim. What an awesome story & beautiful piece of engineering, I love the way it clamps the frame & the added brackets to keep the front wheel still. So pleased you've left it in it's original condition, patina & all... Thanks for sharing Jim.

Very cool video ! You should start a channel for people who still love bikes with mechanical shifting and rim brakes, especially Campy . You could describe how to get modern performance and comfort from these bikes for us fans. Thanks, Dave

Thanks a lot indoor! It does look a bit ugly with blotches of paint over the rusty spots but I am probably going to leave it as-is rather than disturb any remaining DNA from the coach or Anton that might still be there - as we collectors say 'you can't restore originality" 😊

Restoring it would be a shame if it's original , if it's been restored prior hence isn't original anyway then yes no harm.

Could anyone help me figure out why my bmx bike tightened while pedaling hard uphill? its like pedaling hard tightened it al ll up. Chain is still lose, back wheel spins ok but the crank although i did loosen it up from the lock position its still tight and hard to move

@JimLangley1 5 ай бұрын

Some things to check: Is the chainring on the crank rubbing against the frame of the bike? It shouldn't be able to touch it but if it is touching it, something's wrong. If the crank won't turn by hand you should check the bottom bracket and make sure it's adjusted correctly. You said you loosened it up so it should turn easily. If not, maybe something broke inside. Or if you loosened it and then rode the bike when it was loose maybe that tightened the bottom bracket. The bottom bracket bearings have to be adjusted so the crank turns easily and there is no lateral play and then you must tighten it so it stays in that position. Hope this helps you fix it.

@Rah_Kyrillos 5 ай бұрын

Ok thanks. Really appreciate the expertise and the quick reply. Im learning so I needed a place to start and I definitely think it’s the BB. I bought it used and assembled so it probably needs to be taken apart inspected and redone. I got it loosened slightly from a full lockup but its still highly restricted when i try to move it either way

@JimLangley1 5 ай бұрын

@@Rah_Kyrillos I don't know what type of bottom bracket you're working on Rah, but if it's a 1-piece bottom bracket, also called an Ashtabula bottom bracket (here's a link to a photo: images.app.goo.gl/mziEvbZEuPig5Nuh6 ) - if it's this type, then the most likely problem is that you put the bearings in upside down. If you do that then the metal cage of the bearing (called the retainer) is against the metal bearing race. Metal on metal will bind and bind badly. What you want is the ball bearings (the round balls) to rest against the metal bearing races on both sides. This means the ball bearings face in towards the middle. Then the bottom bracket will spin nice and smooth. Be sure to clean the bearing races in the frame and the ball bearings and the retainers they're in and the other BB parts so that there's no dirt in there. And then put a nice coating of good bike grease (like Park Tool's) on the races and the bearing and reassemble and readjust. Before putting the crank back into the bottom bracket, be sure that you check the drive side cone on the crank. That's the one holding the chainring in place on these types of cranks. These are often loose and you want to make sure it's tight and cannot move. Hope this helps.

Thank you. it’s actually 3 piece with the large hole ( maybe 2 inch) it’s a mid school bmx frame from 1997

@JimLangley1 5 ай бұрын

@@Rah_Kyrillos those have the same type bearings so it would be a good idea to check them too Rah - unless you are sure you put them in correctly. If you did put them in correctly, maybe you put the spindle (the BB axle) in the wrong way and the crank is now rubbing against the frame? (One side of the spindle is usually shorter than the other.) Or if it's not either of those issues, it could be that you have the cone upside down (the smaller diameter faces the bearing), or have not tightened the adjustable cone against the lock nut. If they're not tightened against each other, the bearing adjustment could change and even tighten when riding.
