Very lovely Daccordi Turbo from late 80s with mid 90s Campagnolo Veloce - 56cm
I built this about 14 months ago as I really wanted an eye catching modern-retro rocket and it certainly is exactly that. It served me brilliantly last summer for leisure and the few commutes but sadly my bike collection has outgrown my house.
I had some fun blogging during this build and if you are interested you can have a read here: http://daccorditurbo.blogspot.co.uk
The frame is Columbus SL and has some great touches such as early aero profile seat & down tubes and Gilco style top tube and best of all is nickel plated which means it is protected against rust. The nickel plating can be seen in places where the paint has worn or chipped which is very minor. The forks are chrome 531 and have a small patch of corrosion on the inner side of one of the legs but otherwise look great.
The 8sp Veloce groupset works brilliantly and is in good condition with some slight scuffing to the leavers but the hoods are in great condition. BB is Chorus and the headset is Record and the bike had a brand new set of Campagnolo cables when built.
Wheels are Rigida Nova Rims laced to Miche Mozzi Speciali 'Team' Hubs that run nicely but the rear does need truing, and the tyres still have plenty of miles left in them.
The saddle is a super light Pro Turnix model and sits on a Campag Chorus seat post.
The bike does have a few chips here and there but nothing that detracts from the overall beauty in my opinion. When building it I did have to try a few seat post sizes due to the profile of the tubing and the current post fits well with a steel shim to keep it snug. Also the stem was a very snug fit too and will need some encouragement if you need to alter the height greatly. Also please note the pedals shown will be staying with me but I will supply a set of Miche pedals with the bike.
I will supply a NOS pack of the bar tape that is fitted to the bike as it was so hard to find and looks so nice on this machine.
I am based 40mins south of London but I am willing to arrange a meet/deliver this bike within London, Hants, Berks, Bucks, Surrey & Middlesex. This bike is far too nice to risk posting.
Price is £415 and a donation to LFGSS will be made.

Very unique original 1976 Emperor TT Bike with Full Campagnolo Nuovo Record - 58cm
I have had this for a couple of months now and as much as it is lovely eye candy for the living room it has not been ridden by me, nor the original owner either, which is a great shame.
This is in original condition and is a very rare bike indeed. The frame is believed to be Ishiwata 017 tubing although I can't confirm this but this bike is very very light. The forks are the originally fitted Zeus 2000 and look great.
It is dripping with super shiny Nuovo Record that if I was chasing £££s I would part out but I simply want this bike to stay as one.
It runs Campagnolo 'Pista' cranks, Campagnolo pedals (with Christophe toe clips), Campagnolo 42t chain ring and Campagnolo bottom bracket. Campagnolo Nuovo Record Derailleur. Wheels are Campagnolo Record large flange hubs, with campag skewers and Super Champion Competition rims and are in great condition. Tyres have perished but brand new Vittoria Rally tyres will be supplied with tub glue too.
Apart from a small scratch on the top tube, some longer (but not deep) scratches on one of the seat stays and a very small amount of missing 'Emperor' decals. The Cinelli bars and oval logo stem house the Campagnolo levers have original gum hoods in good condition that are linked to the lovely Campagnolo calipers and with original Campag pads. Black leather Cinelli Unicantor saddle sits on the nuovo record seat post.
I am based 40mins south of London but I am willing to arrange a meet/deliver this bike within London, Hants, Berks, Bucks, Surrey & Middlesex. This bike is far too nice to risk posting.
Price is £515 and a donation to LFGSS will be made.

There is a fully working 7 Speed RX100 groupset here:
Brake Lever/Shifters
Brake Callipers
Chainset
Front Mech
Rear MechWheels are:
RX100 hubs laced to Mavic CP11 rims and run alright although would benefit from a re-pack, particularly the rear which is starting to sound rough.
Frame is:
55cm Alloy frame in a 'weathered' condition with cracking to the lacquer all over. Headset, Bottom Bracket and Seatpost are included with the frame.
Other:
Ritchey saddle in good condition with no tears

Sell me a bike!
I am in the market for a new bike and have pretty much searched every active thread, classifieds ad, and ebay listing I can and haven't been able to spend my cash yet. So please part me with my hard earned cash.
It must be a pre 1987 steel framed bike with downtube shifters preferably in original spec but don't mind the odd upgrade here and there. I can ride a 56-58cm bikes as I am still just about young enough to stretch in order to look good :wink:
I really am open to all suggestions and am not especially brand loyal, if anything I am anti-large brand and actually like the the work of the little fella, the underdog, the wrench throwing late opening bad women loving builders.
My ideal spend is £500 although for the right bike I will raid my children's university fund........one day they will understand!
So what have you got??
Thanks
Stu

It is a very tidy Step-Through ladies bike complete with New Tyres, Guards, Rack, Lights and even Reflective strip tyres which are brilliant for a late night wobble back from the pub!
She originally had it with a Sweep-back bar but decided she wanted Drops so two months ago we popped on some drops, new levers and some fresh tape and it has been ridden once since! Should have the original bars somewhere that I can let you have.
The seattube measures 50cm from C-T.
Overall just a tidy bike that needs very little messing with at all.
As for a Price I am thinking £115 delivered.

Having finally bought the final piece for my build I am now able to let things go at very good prices to clear my flat and keep the boss happy!
So please take a look at this Ruggieri Seatpost on this thread on my other items on these threads and make me offers on the RX100 bits:

Cheers!
Ruggieri Seat Post 26.2mm
This is a really striking seatpost from the 70s in great condition as you can see from the photos.
It has a height scale on the side which shows almost no insertion marks or blemishes and the the clamps suggest this may never have been used with the only tiny marks from storage.
This really is unique and just the sort of detail to set you apart from the pack.
I have only found one other of these that lives with Hilary Stone at £45.
I am asking just £16 Posted
It's older than me by three years but has aged sooooooo much better than I have!
The top tube measures 56cm C-C and just let me know if there is anything else you would like to know.
