Lush agreed

Very lovely Daccordi Turbo from late 80s with mid 90s Campagnolo Veloce - 56cm
I built this about 14 months ago as I really wanted an eye catching modern-retro rocket and it certainly is exactly that. It served me brilliantly last summer for leisure and the few commutes but sadly my bike collection has outgrown my house.
I had some fun blogging during this build and if you are interested you can have a read here: http://daccorditurbo.blogspot.co.uk
The frame is Columbus SL and has some great touches such as early aero profile seat & down tubes and Gilco style top tube and best of all is nickel plated which means it is protected against rust. The nickel plating can be seen in places where the paint has worn or chipped which is very minor. The forks are chrome 531 and have a small patch of corrosion on the inner side of one of the legs but otherwise look great.
The 8sp Veloce groupset works brilliantly and is in good condition with some slight scuffing to the leavers but the hoods are in great condition. BB is Chorus and the headset is Record and the bike had a brand new set of Campagnolo cables when built.
Wheels are Rigida Nova Rims laced to Miche Mozzi Speciali 'Team' Hubs that run nicely but the rear does need truing, and the tyres still have plenty of miles left in them.
The saddle is a super light Pro Turnix model and sits on a Campag Chorus seat post.
The bike does have a few chips here and there but nothing that detracts from the overall beauty in my opinion. When building it I did have to try a few seat post sizes due to the profile of the tubing and the current post fits well with a steel shim to keep it snug. Also the stem was a very snug fit too and will need some encouragement if you need to alter the height greatly. Also please note the pedals shown will be staying with me but I will supply a set of Miche pedals with the bike.
I will supply a NOS pack of the bar tape that is fitted to the bike as it was so hard to find and looks so nice on this machine.
I am based 40mins south of London but I am willing to arrange a meet/deliver this bike within London, Hants, Berks, Bucks, Surrey & Middlesex. This bike is far too nice to risk posting.
Price is £415 and a donation to LFGSS will be made.
