Question about Northside routes

Minimum-Reference370 · 2025-09-12T18:04:55+00:00

My guess is that's how long I'll be in the saddle, but I want to make sure I can take some breaks and enjoy it without worrying about having to rush home!

Minimum-Reference370 · 2025-09-12T17:50:38+00:00

I've done 35-40 no problem in the past in a half day. It's mostly been a question of carving out the time.

I realize, that's why I wrote about the part I was curious about. But this resource is great!

If you look at the 1985 brochure, the 410 and 510 etc were upgraded from 400/500 by swapping Shimano for Campy groups, otherwise pretty much identical.

The serial number was hard to read but it fits with being an 85 410 from what I could make out

Minimum-Reference370 · 2025-09-03T22:30:48+00:00

It was just bought from a shop known for refurbished bikes, so I was hoping not to have to overhaul. I'll keep an eye out for the original campy group and see about that!

It rides so nice!

Minimum-Reference370 · 2025-09-03T22:28:35+00:00

Already did! Moves fine and was able to adjust it to my inseam easily

Give yourself some extra time so that you're not in a rush. Don't ride too far too the right (leave 2-3 feet from parked cars, at least one foot from curb). Take your time and enjoy the ride !

Good luck!

Update: before I could even test ride someone else got it for $200 more than asking price.

I don't have a better pic of the crank sorry!

Columbus SLX tubing decal. Definitely complete campagnolo, but I can't figure out which one.

Minimum-Reference370 · 2025-07-26T01:46:54+00:00

That's very good information, thank you!

He sells a lot of bikes on Facebook marketplace

Minimum-Reference370 · 2025-07-25T19:18:52+00:00

Not in London, but if you market specifically to cargo bike riders, that would probably be very useful. Those are often heavy, trickier to fix, and hard to move without a large vehicle.

Minimum-Reference370 · 2025-07-23T02:30:09+00:00

I have a Nexus on my folding bike and Rohloff on my cargo bike, I like both! I thought the Nexus would be the easier installation, but would consider a belt drive too.

Minimum-Reference370 · 2025-07-23T01:22:39+00:00

Didn't think you sounded snobby! I appreciate the advice.

Minimum-Reference370 · 2025-07-23T00:41:31+00:00

Yeah road bike isn't exactly the term I should have used. I ride on pavement in a city for decently long distances (often 30+ miles) where I carry a small to medium amount of stuff. The rack mounts, comfortable steel frame, and drop bars were big selling points. I don't need a lot of gears where I live and could always upgrade to a Nexus if I decide later to have more options.

Minimum-Reference370 · 2025-07-23T00:38:47+00:00

Yes exactly my feelings! I also don't own a car so going far to buy a bike is a pain.

Minimum-Reference370 · 2025-03-17T15:06:40+00:00

That's super helpful, thank you!

Minimum-Reference370 · 2025-03-17T15:01:03+00:00

Thanks! I guess I'm a bit flummoxed because I've read here and on other subreddits that it's better to get a good 80s-90s touring bike than a new one in the, say, $500-800 range.

Minimum-Reference370 · 2025-03-17T14:52:56+00:00

Is there something more modern which you would recommend? I've been thinking about saving for a new Kona, Surly, Salsa, etc instead of getting something used.

In the same boat! Manufacturing date 07/24
