well I offered £60 for the frame, forks and stem. Then I ended up chatting to him for an hour about biking, he was in a club and had 4 or 5 and what my plans were for to restore the frame etc. So he goes into the attic and pulls out the original campagnolo chainset, hubs (rims had been replaced with Mavic GP-4), one of the weinmann brake levers and an old 105 BB. so we settled on £85 for the lot, which seemed like a fair price that he was happy with.
He also has the original Mavic rear derailleur but i'm planning either SS or if I do go for gears it will be campagnolo.
My only worry is that, as it says in the eBay ad, ' stem will not come out without some persuasion'. So any tips on removing that would be great!
As you can see from the last few shots that after 30 years the paintwork has seen better days. Once I've got the stem out it will be sent to the powdercoaters.
Can anyone recommend a powder coaters and chrome platers near Leamington Spa, maybe in Coventry or Birmingham.
