PMddddddddd

Frame and forks sold

PMd about pedals.

Seatpost is 27.2

the wheels aren't 10 speed per chance?

No 8 speed I'm afraid. I believe the can be changed to a 9 but not sure about 10.

Nope, Campagnolo changed the spline pattern when introducing 9 speed, so 8 speed wheels are not compatible with 9, 10 or 11 speed cassettes.

Ah cool thanks for that.

OK, so "caveat emptor" and all that, but this is LFGSS and not Brick Lane Bikes and despite saying that you would correct your ad, it still significantly misrepresents the facts.

The only groupset component on your bike that could be from 1996 is the seatpost, so calling it a "Full 1996ish era Campagnolo Chorus/Athena Groupset" is far from accurate.

The brakes are definitely not Monoplaners, they are Athena D500 and no later than 1993. They are not "fitted with original brake pad guides", they are fitted with 1st gen. Chorus brake pad holders and cable adjusters.

The cranks (Chorus) date from between 1988 and 1991.

The front derailleur is either Chorus ('91-'94) or Athena ('94) and the rear is 1993 Athena and definitely not Chorus.

Identifying C-Record era components can be a nightmare and I'm sorry that someone took advantage of you, but trying to cover your losses by passing the problem on is bang out of order.

Thanks Scilly for the update. I'm certainly not trying to pass on the problem. In all honesty the only things massively out is the fact it states 1996 era and the brakes being Athena not chorus monoplaner which I forgot to change over, and without knowing clearly as much as u do about campagnolo the other stuff is an honest mistake. Why would I have bought chorus pad holders and cable adjusters if I knew them to not b chorus monoplaners. The derailleurs were updated and the pedals I thought u said we're c-record but noticed at the end of ur message u were unsure of them. Other then that its pretty much correct. I appreciate ur advice and knowledge on the kit I'm selling but making out I'm trying to see people off isn't on. I can't imagine to many people would research this stuff as well as u but the mistakes I've made in the description r a combination of mis-information and my own poor research.

pedals are Chorus

and imo you've done your best to get the listing right

Hey scilly, to be fair you make some good points and I rate your campy knowledge (like a bird twitcher for bike parts) but having watched this thread with interest as I'm after a few bits and have bought off skateboy before, can you leave this thread open for people with genuine interest and and advice, not clog it up with 'holier than thou' comments like this second post of yours? Lfgss is a sick forum so let's keep it that way, and stop the I know better than you nonsense. Every day's a school day/not every teacher needs to laud it.

Like I said at the end of my post, getting an ID on this stuff isn't easy and I sympathised with the OP for getting ripped-off in the first place.

But having pointed this out and seeing the amended ad, I don't feel my second post was unjustified.

I went to some pains to stick to the facts rather than "holier than thou comments" and "I know better than you nonsense" and having re-read my post wouldn't change it: my interest and advice is genuine.

I quite agree that every day is a school day: why do you think I became such a twitcher? Because I got my fingers burned and set out not to repeat my mistakes.

Dibs callipers, pm sent

All items sold pending payment except the chain.

If anything falls through ill let you all know unless there's interest already.

Saddle back on the market.

The market is not happy...

New year price drop needed,

And donation to forum for all the other items sold through the forum of course...

A decent donation will be getting made once all items sell or until all wanted parts r sold.

Saddle is to nice to drop any lower.

Are the cables for sale?
