Hi Wayne - neuromancer has 1st dibs - but I'll drop you a line if anything changes.
-
Gave her a quick wash this morning - Detail Photo's on my see Flickr Feed http://www.flickr.com/photos/16320595@N05/sets/72157627457898585/ -
Anyone interested in my Centurion? It's a nicely finished 58cm Tange Butted frame made in Japan, and all the bits and bobs are black, making it look rather nice.
Not sure what it's worth - I was hoping for something around the £250 mark, but will consider any offer.
Frame was designed for 120mm OLN rear hub - I think the original spec was a Nexus 8spd but now it's running 48x16
Apologies for the picture (grubby bike coming out of the shrubbery) I'll take a load more pics in the daylight tomorrow and post them on a flickr feed - link to follow.

- F+F: Tange Butted

Look at her, outside a hipster bar, with her pink aerospoke! - she looks like she's having the time of her life - but deep down, all she wants is for someone to take her home and treat her right - to give her a super record groupset and swap that hideous thing for some GL330's and make her feel like a princess again!!!
Makes you weep doesn't it
By the way can someone explain the rear brake...... -
Did anyone see this one... looks like a super record rear mech, stronglight chainset and flite on a (probably) 531 Geoffery Butler frame - full bike at reasonable spec for £67....
If you're going to list a decent bike (Geoffrey Butler) as one by an inferior manufacturer (Claude (sic) Butler), at least spell the inferior manufacturers name correctly!!!!!

Nicely Hammerited 30's road frame with number stamped on the seatpost lug.
Curious stepped seatstays, lozenge shaped mudguard eyes, Back to the future for an integrated headset.
Previous owner rattlecanned the forks in red - nice.Any idea who made this reasonably lightweight vintage piece???
-
The swallow saddle and pump pegs on the cross bar - looks like 1958 is a pretty accurate estimate - have you been on http://homepage.ntlworld.com/nkilgariff/ - An excellent source of info for Vintage Claud's - I think there's a page on how to read your frame number which should help narrow things down.
Closest match I could see on there is the 1961 Coureur....Been gifted my uncles old Claud Butler, parents seem to think its from around 1958, struggling to pin the model down, and its original specs,,

Dibs on the Bottom Bracket - PM sent
-
Agreed - it really needs to bear the name Bob Badger proudly on its downtube!!! No idea what the decals should look like - can't find any references on the web to Bob Badger as a frame builder in his own right - he ran a bike shop (roberts rebuilds) till about 5yrs ago in Crouch End, and before that, he was a mechanic for Macleans cycles - perhaps it's actually a macleans but welded by Bob - would be nice to have a photo of the original decals but failing that it can be left to the imagination how a man called badger would sign off his creation....
As for the threads/headset - I'm hoping the listing is cautiously worded - hopefully be able to press the headset in, and worst case with the bottom bracket is a FAG plastic housed unit - don't know if they still make these, but they were a pretty simple remedy for a cross threaded BB shell back in the day.... -
Whilst clearly fucked, I love the builders name, BOB BADGER, hame there aren't any decals
I was powerless ot resist the badger (£10+£15postage) - look forward to seeing what state it's in!

If the
Used - Miche bb (English) 107mm - £4 is still up for grabs can I have it
p.m. sent
Cheers -
Definately not a fake - it's a Colnago Super mid 80's, Columbus tubes, just a standard italian road frame for club riders - they used to sell them at my LBS (Ridge Racing, Bournemouth) - nothing particularly special - £195 seems reasonable as it looks like the paints good, and it says colnago on it - further discourse on it's build quality can be found here - http://www.bikeforums.net/archive/index.php/t-383102.html

I've got a black 36 from an LX triple you can have, but i'm afraid it's biopace! -
110BCD 44T BMX Gold 1/8in ** NEW AND UNUSED** £14
Is this still available? -
If you still have the haro BMX post I'd love to take it off your hands
-
The Shimano CELC on the red pug-beater is mine - I don't have the big round avocet style wheel magnet but presume that any wheel magnet/sensor combo will give a pulse.
I can assume that digital instrumentation in curious locations was once considered acceptable - I remember seeing the iscaselle "time" saddle in the sale section of Graham Weigh ads in the comic back in the day....
