Took the fork and stem apart with no problems earlier.
I cleaned out the old solidified grease and re-greased the bearings. The races actually looked pretty good.

Seatpost definitely moves, I’ll double check the stem though

That is a lovely bike, I'm sure this will sell fast!

Updated price to £80 ONO
Surely someone's cup of tea? -
Had this sitting in the garage for a couple of years now. I've never ridden it but have used the lovely 105 groupset and wheels some time ago and now I'm just left with this old frame.
I would have kept this frame but it's massive.
Approx 62cm c to c seat tube
Approx 57.5cm c to c top tube
I would say probably suitable for someone 6'2"+ (Unfortunately I'm only 5'8" on a good day :/)
Type 8806 Training in White with Kingfisher blue decor
Frame number WB7001465 (For the Geeks - Nottingham Lightweight Unit, February 1987)
Just about has the old "GOD" sticker hanging on (It's not an SBDU though)
Reynolds 531 main tubes (I'm pretty sure the stays and fork are High Tensile)
Weighs a tad under 3.7Kg with fork + stem + BB (without seat tube)
Gipiemme Dropouts (1800cc if that matters)
Bottom bracket and headset are there - They don't feel great so may need attention or replacing - The bike was sitting garaged for maybe 20+ years before I sat it in my garage for another few years.
The frame has some marks and what I would consider surface rust. I would say useable condition, not bad for 33 years old. Would make a lovely Fixie workhorse for someone tall.Ideally collection from Hounslow, but I do work in Acton if that makes life easier.
Now looking for £60 ONO
Would consider a swap for something similar in my size (around 54cm)Thanks for looking

“The Bike Shop” on Greenford Broadway have been around for a while. Had good feedback from a couple of friends in the past.
Love old and Vintage bikes. Also have a bad habit of hoarding them!
