Mavic GP4 700c tubular rims in pretty decent condition, straight and true. Campagnolo hubs, Regina Extra 5 Speed cassette that will need a rebuild (can be ridden gently no problems but intermittently slips when you get into it and sometimes doesn't freewheel correctly), one good and barely used Vittoria Competition Rally 23 tubular tyre - rear is good, front has a puncture, maybe it can be repaired?
Purchased for a vintage Colnago build for Eroica, these did one Britannia and a handful of coffee rides around London. Then I got a puncture somewhere around Victoria early one Sunday morning. Attempted to get home to North London on the tube. I was new to London, turns out you can't take bikes on certain lines and they actually will stop the tube from departing and the driver will yell at you over the loudspeaker until you get off. Yeah, I was that guy. Then it started raining, £35 taxi to get home, actual yard sale and I realised I'm not fly enough to rock tubeless on what's essentially a glorified pub bike. Two years of cluttering my spare room and it's time to sell.
Wheels are located in Cambridge CB23. Happy to deliver to Cambridge station (preferred), I also come into North London every fortnight or so for work so can potentially bring with me. But if you dibs and want them dropped to London, please don't change your mind in between the dibsing and the delivering parts....

Looking for £75. Tyres were from Hackney Pedlar and I think they almost cost me that on their own.
