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.
