Thanks Rik, it seems there's a fair bit of info about the MTBs and other models but anything on the road frames is thin on the ground. I've scoured the forums but all the threads just deteriorate into either tri-baiting or 'is Ti shite?' rubbish.
Cheers for the Tissot heads up though and I've still got some emails out at dealers, so something might pop up soon.

whatever it is its lush!
It appeared in the post today and its in lovely nick, really happy.
It also had a sticker on the seat tube proclaiming it to have been "designed in Germany and manufactured in Taiwan". One day I'll find an old Wheeler catalogue I'm sure.....
Will get a build thread going soon for it as i want to build it into my 'Roubaix' bike for Junes cobble assault.

Ultegras?

Can anybody give me any information on this frame? Manufacturer or model?
It's Columbus Steel; has the frame size and an "R" under the BB, and has Gipiemme dropouts. It also has a dove at the top of the seat stays.
-
Little dove panto on seatstay caps probably just means it's a columbus frame.
Here's an example on a cratoni fork crown

Thanks Rik....that's about all we know. I'm hoping the BB might give us a clue.
-
What is it for? Top cap mounted cable hanger?
-
In the bottom of the steerer? Makes more sense than my suggestion, which on reflection is beyond stupid....
I bet SJS sell them.

Can you help to identify these frames, bikes or parts?

What's going on here then? (pics are too big to embed) They're clearly C-Record cranks, which ties-in with the date code for 1993.
However, Campag didn't add groupset names to components until 1995 and only added the length of the cranks from 1996. So based on the markings these date from between 1996 and 1999.
Being 180mm long I thought they might be Speed Th or Crono. Info is scant in the catalogues but as far as I can tell, the triathlon group didn't use hidden fifth arm cranks and were marked "Speed Th".
Which leaves the TT group. From the catalogues and spares brochures, it seems that only the bar-end shifters were specific, so presumably Record components were used otherwise.
Could it be that Campag used up stocks of C-Record cranks, rather than produce the current cranks in long lengths? I don't suppose there was a huge demand for this group, which didn't justify the tooling costs. It would also explain why it features so little in the catalogues.
