  • Selling my commuter bicycle, no longer cycling to work so can’t justify it -hoping to get £280 for it - optimistic, I don't know.


    ..

    Its been stripped, cleaned and reassembled with new inner and outer cable on brakes and rear derailleur / rear hub has been serviced ( last week )

    The frame is an ALAN super record I think - BB Shell reads 42s647 - j57x57
    the frame measures 57cm top tube - 57cm down tube
    Plenty of scratches as you can see:

    • no dings or dents though.


    The original forks broke on me so I replaced them with new chrome steel ones - and had the headset serviced - that was about a year ago.

    The gear shift hanger on the left has also broken so I’m only running a rear derailleur - single chainring - which makes it a 6 speed ..

    The bits are varied and I guess that makes this bike a bit of a mutt but I love it that way

    Campag headset, I want to say its a record but don’t really know.

    Cinelli stem & bars
    Cut back and flipped - the long stem meant i needed to shorten the reach - i’m 5’ 10”..

    Campag veloce brake calipers with almost new blocks and pads

    Campag victory 170mm cranks & 52t chain ring
    Its well used but works

    Ofmega bb - sound

    Shimano gear lever and rear derailleur -
    Friction and index shift - though to index nicely it will need some tinkering.

    Wheels - zeus / mavic / super champion - bit tatty but both show almost no signs of brake wear and run straight and true

    6 Speed maillard 13/24 freewheel - good click sound, very little wear

    Brooks professional saddle - its old but not been broken in really

    Also: used to run mudguards on it - there’s clearance but no eyelet on the fork so modern ones work best
