In reply to Bryan.

The special tool needed to tighten or undo those “gold rings” is actually a rear cassette removal tool – the splines are the same. You’ll also have to remove the chainrings first to get access to the right one. Once you remove the gold end nuts you’ll see the bearing is actually a nylon sleeve. They seem to wear front and back, wear on mine was only slight so I rotated them 90 degrees, greased everything up, tightened it all up and it is good as new again. The cassette removal tools are cheap on ebay, about £5. Hope this helps. Robin

In reply to Leon williamson. Hi, I don't have a seatpost for mine at the mo and it is a box one rather than two but should be the same. I measured the hole on the frame to be around 31mm if not slightly smaller and the nearest standard seat post to that seems to be 30.9mm so would go for that one. The clamp that goes round it when tightened seemed to be around 34mm but would think untightened would be a 34.9mm clamp. Hope that helps and please let me know if that is correct or not.

Still got my box one, needs a crank as pedal fell off and threw it out! Planned on bike going too buy couldn’t do it so it’s in shed without pedal! One day I’ll get a crank for it as that crunches aswell. Good to see these pics of them.

Everything in bike is original and was using it up till 2018!
