Something wonderful happened to me today, and I now believe in God.
I travelled from Coventry to Leeds to collect this little bargain with my brother, from ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320543818769&ru=http://search.ebay.co.uk:80/search/search.dll%3Ffrom%3DR40%26_trksid%3Dm37%26satitle%3D320543818769%26category0%3D%26fvi%3D1#ht_552wt_1139
When we arrived, the nice gentleman also produced a crash damaged bike which he wanted rid of. I asked how much. He said 50. I said "DONE" quite promptly.
It was a columbus 7005 aluminium Tifosi with a 9-speed ultegra groupset, with open pros. The extent of the crash damage is 3 spokes on the front wheel, the LH shifter, and 2 new cables. I promptly robbed these parts from my current 9-speed ultegra bike here:
So I now have a lovely alu beauty for the summer, for 50 pounds, and you lucky LFGSS people may inherit the bike above. Pictures of the Tifosi in the light tomorrow.
So the 531 frame and alloy forks, Ultegra RD + FD, Ultegra hubs on CXP 22s, acor brakeset, Dura-Ace 7400 chainset with BB, chain, seatpost from the above bike are now available. And conveniently, my brother has to collect some things from London in a pickup later this week....so, make me an offer before i stick these in the classifieds.
Also available, the predecessor to the Coppi that my brother won on ebay:
Cannondale with 9 speed 105 groupset. RH shifter is playing up, so included in the sale is a scuffed-but-working-order Ultegra shifter. Offers around £270. Again, in the classifieds tuesday, you saw it here first!
