I've a 1991 ish Gitane Team Replica that was sold by Cycles Berquez (still run by Eric Berquez I beleive in Boulogne). Triple butted Vitus GTI, part chromed stays and a TIME composite carbon fork with steel threaded steerer, headset is 105 I think and in great condition.
I can't remember the seatpost diameter off top of my head but it's not one of the oddball sizes, I'll need to check when I'm back after the weekend. Deffo 130mm OLN, it was originally fitted with Open 4 ceramic/105 hubs and 8 speed STIs. Came with a Mavic threadless bottom bracket that was connected to a Stronglight 80 compact crank, pretty sure its BSC threading - the threads are totally unmarked btw and I still have the Mavic BB and possibly the original seatpost.
Overall very nice condition aside from a scrape through the paint/decal on one of the seat stays I haven't ridden it in anger for about 8 years but the forks were rock solid and I was about 107kg at the time.
This was my first 'retro' machine I bought circa mid noughties, beautiful ride but too many machines and something has gotta give!£275 plus postage or collect from N.Herts

I've got a Coppi Lugano in Columbus Genius, 56tt, 57st. It's built up at the moment but can be stripped down if you're interested? It's not immaculate - there are a few scrapes, but it is all original paint and the chrome is good.
I'm in Wimbledon if you want to take a look?

Still looking for the one!
Here's an example of what he fell in love with, unfortunately too small.
So if anyone has something similar in finish, era or feel please get in touch with a few pictures.
Cheers

@skullandbiscuits - are you selling? :)
Must be light steel i.e Reynolds 531/ Columbus (sl/slx or whatever) and in semi immaculate condition either original paint, or resprayed professionally (ideally no chips, no dents etc..chrome can be restored)
Entertaining 80's and 90's frames, maybe 70's if it feels right.
Out there designs as well as muted minimal ones welcome, building a modern groupset on old frame for a graphic designer so probably a tough client but will relay everything you guys post.
Budget is max £300/350.
What ya'll got?
