    Forgot to add, I'd be happy to consider similar 50-60mm stems such as Easton Havoc / Vice or Hope DH/FR.

    55cm Concorde 'Degrave' 1980's vintage track bike.

    Team Aqua paint job - I'm yet to see another concorde sporting these colours. Riden by pro rider Pedro Plancke in the 1980's /90's in Belgium.

    Frame is straight, but the paintwork is showing it's age with a few sections of paint missing from the top tube - it's been covered in 3M for the past few years, and corrosion has not progressed. I've not re-sprayed it owing to the unique nature of the paintwork. Tubing is Columbus, but the sticker is the older generic one, so I'm none the wiser as to the exact spec. Lugs have diamond shape cut-outs. The ride quality is simply astounding - much nicer than the other 4130 or Tange bikes that I also own.

    Campag pista group set with high flange hubs (complete minus pedals) includes all the small details like seatpost, seat clamp, BB, wheel nuts, chainring, locknut, headset.
    Cinelli 105mm stem
    Long drop Cinelli track bars 40cm c-c
    Rolls saddle in white

    Converted to road spec with mavic cxp 23 rims (stickers removed), Izum 1/8" chain, Campy mirage front brake with CX top lever, and generic steel road forks. 42:16 gearing. Pink bar tape. Conti 700x23 Ultra sport's.

    Minor details - hubs are not matching serial numbers, bottom headset cup is from a different generation pista groupset - it's a matte finish unlike the rest which is polished - works very much as it should though. Chainring bolts are not matching.

    Sold without pedals, but will throw in a period campy wheel nut spanner.

    Selling as i'm just not using it as much as my Audax / mountain bikes living in West Yorkshire.

    Asking £600 based on original groupset and the bike's racing history. Will travel travel / meet halfway for pickup.

    After a few thomson pieces :

    30.9 x 410 post - layback or straight is ok, colour not so important, but black would be better. likewise for the setm

    X4 50mm stem for 1 1/8" / 31.8mm

    Happy to pay around £35 a piece, as this seems to be the market value for used bits.

    ^ isn't the forum rule that it shouldn't be here if on sale elsewhere too?

    Looks nice though, good luck with the sale.

    Not sure that applies in this forum, but hey, needed to rack up some posts to put it in the classifieds section...

    • 1 for bad service.

    Ordered a load of kit on sale (marginally cheaper than CRC / Wiggle). Not notified about out of stock items - took 3 days to sort out alternatives etc over the phone / email. I was leaving for racing abroad, and asked that they ship priority due to their internal stuff-ups, and was assured the goods would arrive on time. No such luck.

    To add insult to injury, upon arriving home, I was charged retail, not the 20% off that had made shopping with them attractive in the first place.

    Go for CRC every day of the week - no questions asked when they stuff up an order, and free despatch and return shipping!
