rare gs swing arm ad spotted


Recommended Posts

love it. Seller has been trying to sell it for over 2 years now and keeps reposting it.
Looks like he does not accept anything less than 400 euro and shipping from Italy is expensive.
Everytime i see it my greed plays up but total price is too rich for me

Limited Forging sites for Mag in Italy at that time.

Probably a Private commission, but Campagnolo must have been involved.

Well somebody needs to feed back the costs of recommissioning that.  MagnaFlux inspection,  detail welding and repair, re-Chromate. Not available in Italy/Croatia.

:lol: PM and I can probably get it sorted.

Seriously  Mark?

There's more places to get castings done in northern Italy than there are places to get Pizza, look at any Italian racecar/bike from WW2 on.

  Not shortages today of places over there to get it checked over and rechromated either.

Magna flux? On a non ferrous material?

May be ultrasonic testing. But whatever testing you do on it, I wouldn't trust it. With all the testing you can do on it, they're all to find porosity or cracks, you can't find out how strong the material is without breaking it. You won't find that with NDT

Die penetrant is most common for Mag castings, or eddy current if you're feeling flash.  Eddy current will get under the surface, which Die penetrant won't, but from what I've seen and been told of  old mag castings, 99% of the time flaws you pick up beneath the surface have been there from the casting process, so tend to be disregarded.

I tend to agree that swingarm is best seen as a curiosity rather than a useful item.
