Current Projects chat and miscellany

... any thoughts?

Take off the 7400 series Dura-Ace components if they are in good nick, and sell them for loads on eBay?

Odd all round: 60cm c-c st, 57cm c-c tt, long headtube, short back end...

Ooh, profiteering... I like it, they're FC 7400 with etched/engraved logo, any idea of value (need a good buff, no dings/rub, no dust caps)?

Here is my Current Project, should be done within a couple of weeks. Thanks to provenrad for the heads up for the frame on eBay some months ago.

nice hubs!

what red lever is that on the soma?

Shimano DX

any thoughts?

Sell the Dura Ace and buy Campag. Clean it up a little bar tape etc..... Caygills are usually custom made bikes so you got yourself a bargain.

Well chuffed with this for £88

Bit much for Xmas tree deco?

If they are good in very good condition, you clean/polish them, take nice photos, etc, you could potentially get as much as you paid for the bike. but who knows, a lot of bike stuff on ebay has taken a nose dive in value, unless it is NOS/highly collectable.

Just waiting on a front brake now,not sure whether to sell it or keep it yet.

You know if you keep polishing the stem and saddle, you´ll be able to get the chrome out again, this matching the stem with the bar.

Man that Caygill is great for the money. Be a shame to 'fix' it.

Well I either sell it for a profit (not fussed) or keep it as a trick bike, I've decided the geometry's off for longer geared rides.

Time to learn bar spins and the like...

I say keep it till the invisible hand gives you the secret ebay signal and make a profit.

I love doing build projects but there is always something you want,I hate that Velospace.May sell to fund something new just bought a mint 2006 Langster I think Imay give it the Brooks treatment.

Good idea. Focusing on one bike means money tends to jump out your wallet less often. Be sure to keep us updated ^^

Big fan of the bridgestone.. not so keen on what you've got on the valves though :S

EDIT: Also, I'll take first dibs on the frame for 99cents as advertised!

Got my new frame today, Bianchi D2 pista.
Wrong seat tough, so I guess it´s still a project.
Don´t know what seat to get so if you got suggestions please let me know...

nice, leave the seat.

but if you want a brown leather turbo special pm

boon, i'd put an arione on that. a high-end one.

Get a Brooks B17 saddle, then give it to someone in this group to chop it up and volia - you got a Brooks Swallow without the price tag of one.
