For Sale: Geoff Francis bike breakdown

It's now in pieces in the workshop....

Frame/forks: Geoff Francis. Made in Doncaster in the late 80's/early 90's (thanks for the info JD). Blue/white with chromed stays. Tight clearances, no drilling. 531. Lugged (nothing too fancy) Campagnolo track ends (on the frame, not on the forks)
Seat tube 59cm CtC
Top tube 58.5 CtC
1m wheelbase (when at it's shortest)
English thread bb, 68mm shell width
26cm BB height (to bottom of shell)
Will come with tange headset installed
Great looking frame. Paint's seen better days with nicks all over, but you could easily ride it as is. Some champion has scratched his post code in to the paint under the BB shell. With a re-fin you'd have a real looker.

BRM has expressed interest in the frame, and therefor has a prelim first dibs.

Cranks: Campagnolo C-record pista. 144bcd, 170mm, 61 date stamp (1990). Scuffed from use, but top-draw stuff. I might yet keep these but I'll see what offers I get.

Stem: Cinelli 130mm with a 10-12 degree ish drop. 26mm clamp. It's got a couple of scratches on it (one "graze" on the topside of the clamp). Again though, good quality stuff.

Bars: 3t track drops. SOLDSOLDSOLD

Chainrings: all 3/32, 144bcd
Campag 50t
Campag 46t
Nameless 48t

Sprockets: all 3/32 English threads
16t Suntour, virtually unused
15t Suntour, slight use, NJS stamp (which from what I can understand means silly money?)

Wheels: Campag shamals. Front clincher rear tub with tubes/tires/tubs, 14t sprocket on the rear, engligh threads.
I'm currently in PM talks with George Sportif RE these, who has first dibs.

*PM offers please. This stuff will be going on ebay tomorrow at 0.99p no reserve if I've not found buyers here. Photos available on request, but see below for a photo of the full bike....

I forgot to add. I'm not in London (live near Liverpool) so will probably be posting.

jammy you sure about those measurements on the cogs and chain-rings?...

not sure track stuff, especially njs cogs, would be 3/32"

I thought that myself, but I'm pretty sure I'm right. what exactly should I be measuring?

Second dibs on the front Shamal, if you split and the price is right

nope, ive been checking - i'm clearly talking shit that has been discussed before... apologies

seems its just weight and chain life that separates them

the frame is too small for me, so i relinquish my (prelim) dibs.

Nice, I'd love the rear wheel.
