Hi all, currently debating whether or not to get my old road bike back into repair, either to sell on or use as a winter bike, but will probably sell if it's worth more than a couple of bob. Would appreciate some thoughts on that.
A 1987 Ron Cooper - custom made for me after some good O-level results. Columbus SL, 54cm. Resprayed c. late 90s. Unfortunately not quite as 'period correct' as it used to be, since I've replaced odd bits over time without being able to afford replacement Campag Record. It's a real mish-mash of Campag/Shimano at various levels. So the build currently looks like this:
wheels - Mavic MA40 on Campag Super Record large flange hubs
Cinelli bars/stem
Stronglight headset
Campag Super Record brakes and levers
Shimano Dura Ace aero seat post
Rolls San Marco saddle
Shimano Ultegra front mec
Shimano Tiagra rear mec
Shimano RX100 shifters
Stronglight chainset - I love this.
I might be able to dig out some Campag Super Record pedals but my dad's shed is a minefield. Possibly a CSR rear mec as well...
I'll need a new bottom bracket for it to be fully functioning but other than that it's in good working order. A few scratches and dinks on the frame but no rust.
Obviously I'll take some better pics if it comes to selling, but just as an idea...
