Look what I just got in the post

I just picked up a lovely '83 Raleigh Gran Sport. It's 531c, very light, with full Gran Sport groupset (bar the levers but i have some in my spares box in any case). Has been very lightely used and really well looked after. Lovely bike...

Nice with a good groupset. Ready to go.

Indeed. Just gonna re-grease everything as it's not been used since early 90s! Change the bartape, maybe add a Cinelli stem, and yeah, good to go. Wheels are lovely too Gentleman 81's on Maillard 700 Team hubs. They are spotless!

You need a nicer matching saddle (well, at least if you want to show off for the picture) - like 3ttt, unicanitor etc.

Yeah, forgot to say that needs changing. I've got a nice old Turbo that might just do the job.

With the help of JapeS I've been united with a long lost love - Ebony Shamal.

Shipped from Ghent at a fair price.

very niice

mmmmm-mmmmmmmm!!

I've only received the parcel yesterday. Three bloody months from France!
I'm not sure what to say...

Are you sure it goes with 'Nago's "colour way"? Lemme know.
It's a lycra clad Selle Italia, same shape as Concor.

I got two of these.

If you need one only, let us know.

bloody show-off!

;-)

Sorry EEI, both needed.

Just managed to snap up a Solidlights dynamo light on ebay for £27.99 (they're £155 list!) [/chuffed]

Since I expect my mtb shoes to get trashed trying cx this winter, I picked up these for £20 from PX. Very happy!

Nerd alert...

(RRP £89.99)

I also got a pair of those, but a warning, they are very slim, so not for the wide footed, and remember to size up!

WHY are the shoes coming up to my size over twice the price?! would have bought them in a second, now i feel prejudiced against

PX sale is pretty good this year, I got those time shoes and a brooks b17s in honey for a total of £50, top notch
