    Road racing geometry steel frame and forks wanted as per title 52 - 54cm seat tube. Anything considered but ideally after a Reynolds to replace a failed lugless 501 frame! Must be solid though!

    Not looking to break the bank with a Colnago, something like an old Peugeot or Raleigh would be great.

    Likely to be in London and maybe Bristol over the weekend but based in Oxford.

    Also after a 90s 9speed campag chours front mech 28.6 band on.

    Taaa

    As per the title, getting pretty rare these hubs as you are probably aware! Bullet proof and light. Bearings are smooth, freewheel has a lovely click noise and all parts are in excellent condition.

    Brought these to build up a nice set of wheels but I've just brought Rochey Ventos from him so rather than them continue to sit in a box I'm sure someone will put them to good use! Advertised on here before they go on the dreaded 'Bay!

    Campagnolo 9 speed fitment, pretty sure you could get a 10 on there but I haven't tried.

    After what I paid for them £100 but will listen to offers.

    Can post hubs if required.

    Located in Oxford

    Also after some bits so open to px
    Dura ace 7400 series front mech
    Ultegra 6500 front mech
    Campag Chorus front mech
    Nice italian quill stem

    Basically cheap and cheerful pub bike wanted

    Rather buy a beater that works than start making my own again, I'll end up spending to much on upgrading it!

    Im in Oxford but would come over to London

    Thank you please

    Good stuff! I wanted a 30mm or so deep rim for strength and aesthetics, do like the look of a deeper rim but not too deep! Going to take on the build myself as well so wanted something that is strong to start with as Im not expecting it to be as good as a pro build doing it for the first time! Living in Oxford at the moment commuting and riding at the weekends which involves hills another reason for a stiffer rim I’m lead to believe.

    I’m only about 75kg so hoping spoke snappage is going to be kept to a minimum. What low profile rims do you recommend? Mavic open pros seem to be highly recommended, maybe the cxp33's are areo enough for me thinking about it.

    Thanks a lot man, looking like Im going to have to spend a little more than I hoped. But I guess you pretty much get what you pay for.

    Saying that, just found some XR-300 for £40 each from here

    Cheers for the advise, its much appreciated.
