|
| Chas - how can you look at these craigslist photos and tell what type of crank it has? When I try to enlarge it, it just doesn't have any resolution. You always seem to be able to see the details. ... |

| No, you don't use that type of puller. I'm sure Chas will add in with a better explaination than mine. You have a cottered crank. There's a cotter pin that goes sideways through the arm. Remove th ... |

| Hmmmm. No replies or interest. Am I way over-priced? Is this not the place to find a buyer? I thought I'd get a few responses. Guess my next step is craigslist and/or ebay. |

| I sanded a Cinelli stem to fit my TdF years ago. I don't remember it taking a lot of sanding. I wouldn't use a file as you could "flat side" the stem by taking too much off. Wrap the sand ... |

I considered nailpolish remover, but thought it would damage the paint. I'll try it in a spot that already needs touching up.
