  • A few of you may recognise this bike...
    I got sold a cracked frame by someone who is now banned from the forum. Long story short: I paid £200 for this bike as a complete. Originally I knew it needed some work but saw the value in the parts so was happy to buy it as a roadie project. I was told there wasn't a crack in the frame but alas there was.
    I have been told this is repairable. Either a TIG welding or paying for a whole new DO on the rear. All for under £100 or who knows, you might have a mate that does it for a case of beer. EITHER WAY there are options.

    I aint looking to get back what I paid for it. I am pricing this due to the main parts on the bike as well as the value in the forks and wheels. The frame is hardly taken into my calculations. I could sell these parts off individually and benefit more financially but I don't have the time.

    In my opinion...This bike needs a new chain, brake cabling for the front, ditch the Shimano gear shifters, rear wheel axle needs looking at and obviously the crack in the rear DO needs repairing. But hey! I was told "The bike works fine, needs some adjustment". Lol.

    Specs are as follows:
    -Early 80's frame with chips and decal peels
    -Campagnolo 27.2mm aero seatpost
    -Campagnolo cranks amd rear derailleur (7 speed)
    -Mavic Open 4CD wheelset laced to Campagnolo chorus hubs (rear axle needs some
    attention)
    -Campagnolo front and rear brakeset
    -Campagnolo chorus aero road pedals
    -1" columbus steel blue forks
    -Campagnolo headset
    -130mm Cinelli quill stem with Giro D'Italia drop bars

    -£100

    Collection in Clapton E5

  • Ah man, I bet you were pissed when you found out this was cracked.

    This looks like the perfect bike to strip down in an evening, give it a good clean, run some new cables, new bar-tape, chain etc and call it done!

  • Potentional dibs, gonna speak to my weldy pal and see what he says about fixing!

  • Oh, sorry to read about this situation.
    You say the back wheel needs looking at, what is the issue, seems by the break and wheel issue this bike may have taken a hit?
    Any info much appreciated.

  • If internet famous drops out then 2nd potential dibs on this.

  • sorry it ended like this :(
