    So yeah, i'm not 100% sure i want this to go, but i never ride it. It looks pretty hanging up, and that's pretty much where it stays. I spent quite a while sourcing all the bits, and have consequent gotten a bit too precious over it. After riding it the other day and being paranoid about someone crashing into me the whole time, i decided that maybe it deserves a better owner with whom it'll get ridden?!

    It's open to offers basically, but sensible offers! If someone offers me enough then i'll part with it. I don't really like the idea of splitting it, as i think it looks too good as it is, but i may be persuaded down the line. Hmmm.
    But anyway, here's the spec:

    • Raleigh Track Professional F&F 1973/74 / 56 c-t st, 55 c-c st / undrilled front & rear, although it was drilled at the front when i got it, but was filled by a professional frame repairer. Resprayed by Armourtex. Top tube has unfortunately has a small dent, probably from drops hitting it, which i stupidly didn't get sorted before the respray. Doh.
    • Suntour NJS track hubs (pretty much identical to high flange nuovo record, but a bit rarer perhaps? I've seen less of them anyway)
    • Wolber TX Profil rims (clinchers!)
    • Continental Grand Prix tyres; the only brown(ish) wall tyres that are actually any good for lasting with skidding
    • Campag Record steel headset, still pretty smooth (not too sure which era)
    • Campag Record loose ball BB (again, not too sure which era)
    • Campag Nuovo Record pista cranks 165mm 151bcd, with the super beefy chainring with reinforcing rings on both sides, plus campag c.ring bolts
    • Campag Nuovo Record seatpin
    • Brown 'moc croc' Concor, the only one i've seen
    • Campag Record pedals, still very smooth with no play, although the dust caps have taken a few knocks
    • Ale steel toeclips (reckon they're about a large)
    • Laminated double straps
    • Euro Asia cog (although it could use a silver one really)
    • KMC devil chain
    • Titan chromed stem, this was NOS when i got it
    • Nitto moustache bars, B302 i think, chopped down a little, with brown brooks tape...with some cinelli bars and stem it'd be nearly exactly how it would've been originally, i do have some criterium bars with a 1A stem, and some more brown brooks tape that i could chuck in

    If anyone wants anymore pics, then i'll take some. In fact, i may just take some anyway.
