I've got an 89 Formula Race, its 501 throughout.
Its only within the past few years I've realised I've mistreated it pretty badly re; resprays/maintenance. Sorry.
My question is, are, when I sort it out over the summer should I build it up as stock (Sachs Maillard stuff) or best available then? did this frame ever compete or be a team frame to have 'Best' on? for inspo?
I was gonna just Sachs it, amazingly (to me) I've found everything on eBay just never bought it, cos it was never great to begin with, but theres an appeal there.

Tldr; 1989 Formula Race 501, period accuracy or 'best'.

are they selling their place on the list for the anniversary CM ?

exactly.

did this frame ever compete

there's a chance, but I think most aspiring amateurs would have chosen the Champion Mondial in 531

or be a team frame

no.

so build it the way you like it, I'd say Shimano 105, or 600 would be a perfect fit!

Cheers Peter.
I hant considered 600 actually, good shout.
I've got time to sit on it yet.

This is one I did with 600 tricolour a couple of years ago, (can't find more pics)

I've got a shit res of that pic from google in my inspo hah!
not gonna lie I don't know much about 600

Selling my Champion Mondial AB-frame from -92 here on the forum.

Damn, want, my size, my age, too many projects at the moment :(

Time to let one of the other ones go then ;)

Who's buying the 653 v*v*velo is selling?

So are we going to pretend we’ve not seen it and have a bidding war next Sunday?
Ok, cool...

goldline or goldline titanium ?

The ti... could be fun if it stays cheap!

I do love a Sunday bidding war ;-)

Trim Trophy. Worth it, or not?

Debating whether to buy a frame from Ebay in my size. I've never owned anything other than a CM though.

One for the TVM owners...
