Wanted: 60cm's of Cold Hard Steel

Posted on
  • I'm after a road bike thats done some time. Reynolds 531, 753 or Columbus SLX, SL....

    Would like a complete bike, with preferably a shiny Campy Ergo Groupset. I'm happy for the frame and groupset to be 'used', so long as theres some life left.

    I'm talking about vintage frame geometry and definitely no aluminium!

    £300 to spend...

  • That's the spirit!

  • no that's the spirit

  • Can't wait to see where this thread goes...

    but then again, I'm not sure I do.

  • I've got a 1983 Raleigh Record Ace 531c. Complete bike in "ice green" looks totaly original down to the cotton bar tape, with Campag derailleurs, friction shifters and 27" wheels.
    PM me an email address if you're interested and I'll forward some photos.

    Thanks Some Guy - Really would like 700c, though and I should have said in my original post that I don't really want a Raleigh frame! Having said that, yours sounds like worth a look - but not keen on 27" wheels...

    Is that nasty?

    I don't know - I'm naturally opposed to anything that is popular... Maybe I'm a Raleigh Racist?

  • Good luck!

    More luck the better

  • I have a Gazelle Champion Mondial AA special frame, Reynolds 531C, 62 cm c-t.
    Too big?

    I think I'm 58 - 60cm really. So, yeah - 62cm becomes a stretch!

    Thanks all the same.

  • 60cm of cold steel? Well, they don't like it up them!

    Not sure I understand - perhaps that's because its got something to do with the Game of Thrones theme?????

    Dear me, I'm so out of touch.....

    No dear chap...its me thats out of touch.....Jones from Dad's Army used to refer to his time in the army and how the 'natives'...didn't like British cold steel...aka the bayonet.....hence...'they don't like it up 'em.'

    Dad's Army references - now thats something I can deal with.. Game of Thrones however, not so sure.

    Actually watched an episode the other day - just like old times. No need to panic.
