why would you buy a Phil hub, then lace to an open sport?

soooooo ugly n rubbish. the full bikes are only 200£, its probably more economical to buy the full bike and just sll theae bits you dont want. one was listed a while back with straight bars and brakes for only 180£. creates clearence are £160 for a full bike aswell.

Dat is wat ik hebberig bellen!

Babblefished.

I really liked that Dave Yates - seems like an ok price. I imagine the seller is a bit disapointed if it really did have hundreds of watchers as per the listing...

Don't know much about the cranks. Are they PMPs? If so I read somewhere that some team (Polish?) thought they worked and bought a load of them at "near to collectors prices ($500)", so could be a good ebay buy. Anyone here?

Was about to take offence then realised it was an open sport...

Just built up a set of double fixed low flange Phils onto Open Pros as a comfy bombproof wheelset:-)

Or maybe I've just made an arse of myself?

It was me that got the Quinn ;)

I hope it's as good as it looks....

Thanks for posting that up DMCzone.

I would have bid if I saw that Quinn. It appeals to my inner-magpie.

i was just about to say what bluequinn just said. very nice, well done.

Well done sir. You have snapped up an absolute beauty.

As I said I have a track frame that is almost identical (red candy rather than copper) and it is just wonderful, as befits a frame made by a man many consider to be one of the greatest framebuilders that ever lived. It's far far lighter than anything made of 531 has any right to be, stiff as a board, responsive, and ridiculously pretty.

Take a look at those head lugs - they are Prugnat long points cut and filed down to be as thin and light as possible. That used to be Terry Dolan's job :-)
And you'll love the detail of the fastback seatstays fillet brazed in, with the seat lug filed to a completely seamless feather edge above it, and luglining going below the stays.

Treat it properly and don't put any Shimano on it or Harry will spin in his grave.

Gosh, and I only bought it because it was pretty.
;)
I'll be sure to post some details on the current projects thread when I get building ;)

Cheers.

Just wait till you see the bottom bracket shell cutouts :-)

Interested in selling it Backsplash?

Nope.

I'm pretty excited, may have to sell one of the other five bikes to make room.

If anyone has any suggestions about what I should build it up with, please let me know, I do not want to make Harry spin in his grave.

DAmn you. I was about to buy it now but by the time it went through it was gone.

:o

^ I think a lot of us were :-)

It's probably late 60s or early 70s. You can get a better idea from the frame number on the BB shell. Vintage Campag Nuovo or Super Record, by the way.
Or Royce and keep it British
