Photo's attached, they are Chorus hubs, very smooth, with open pro rims, no corrosion, just a little dirt around the nipples, spinning them up they look really quite true (I must have done a better job than I thought on truing them up).
They are 9/10/11Speed Campag Compatible, let me know what you think?

I bought this frame before Christmas and it was originally in good condition but the paintwork was tired, photo below in blue: -
I paid a mate who owns a car respray business to strip the frame and I wanted it sprayed in the one and only House of Colours Candy Apple Red, just the paint alone cost £90. Transfers costs me £35 and the original frame £150, let alone what I paid the twat to prepare and spray it.
After months and months my ex mate returned the frame to me, well he was too much of a coward to return it to me when I was home and won't answer my calls since. I left the money for him when he dropped it off at my home after sending me iPhone pictures.
In essence he acid dipped instead of shot blasting the old paint off and then like a total twat didn't fill the pitting and just sprayed and lacquered the frame.
Anyway the long and the short of it was that I was so sickened that I couldn't have the heart to build it into a classic and bought a Colnago C40 instead.
So I have decided to sell the frame and offset some of my costs for the Colnago.
Here's a few photos of the frame now, I can't get any closeups, but have tried to show the BB pitting, that is the worse area, with a few Pitt's around the cable guides on the top tube and around the headset and rear brake bridge.
There is absolutely no rust anywhere the twat just never filled the pitting, the frame was properly sprayed using a rust inhibitor, then a fill undercoat, colour coat and then 3 coats of lacquer.
Dimensions are approx. 55cm Seat Tube C-C and a 56cm Top Tube C-C, the frame is made from 531 Reynolds and has horizontal Campag drop outs. It was built in 1989 as an Audax frame with mudguard eyelets and really is quite light.
The prat who sprayed it removed the BB cups that I had screwed into place and let the over spray fill the threads, however my LBS says they will clean them out if need be.
I'm looking to get at least some of my money back as in essence the frame is sound and from 10 foot looks fantastic and probably once everything is fitted no one would notice the pitt marks.
I'm looking for £225 + Carriage, I'm based between Wolverhampton & Stafford, but can meet up with anyone within 25 miles.
Dibs followed by contact and payment by Bank Transfer or PayPal Gift.
I've not advertised it anywhere else.

Link doesn't need to work. The URL just serves to show the name on his photobucket account is Alistair Baldry, and his forum name for his 1 poorly judged post was BALD hardly needed a detective to work out he's the same guy.
Assume he spent all student loan on fixay he now needs sell to pay angry landlord.

Looking for a nice Campag Pista Chainset 165mm - 170mm lengths.
I'm restoring a really nice classic Geoffrey Butler Track frame has been resprayed pearlescent White, ex pair of Malcolm Elliot's Campag Large Flange Track wheels with Arc-en-Ciel rim, this bike will be awesome when finished, but I can't bear to put the Mavic Cranks back on, so am taking the plunge by getting the right cranks.
Please pm me or email with good photo's to john at velonuts dot co dot uk
Many Thanks.

Yossarian[/U];1910967]Sidi shoes covers are the same as these ones - http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?PartnerID=79&ModelID=48494
I bought them from Chainreaction cycles too. Annoyingly they were £28 for ages, then went up to £39 (when I bought them), now £44... what next?Size is 45/46 - my Sidi shoes are 45 and the overshoes are quite tight!
Cheers for that, normally the large are 43/44 so these are too big, also no photo on CR site.
Thanks but undibs.
