Best home machine are dual.boiler, look at the La Spaziale S1, the Sage by Hb and if you're super flush the La Marzocco GS3

The perfect chrsitmas gift!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@dju cheers! Just double checked, measures at 31inch/78cm

Yup, most common problem for leaking on back flushing is just that.

FYI, I'm an engineer for commercial machines, now running my own shop, so if anyone has any questions they need advice on, just holla.

any offers?!

Price drop - £300

somebody must have some taste out there? ;)

its pretty good, if you can get a mazzer mini, there pretty good, or try the Mahlkonig Vario

if you like the taste of coffee, don't bother.

if you like to taste fat/oil and crap coffee, which has negligable benefits beyond fads, then go for your life!!

you could of course just take an Omega oil supplement.

almost certainly, last thing you want is loose coffee grounds in Zero-G.

If you'll pardon the obvious plug, I wrote a book on this shit, you should buy it.

for sure, just built this thing!

Here's the Before and afters, more info after the jump;

Its a 1981 model Roadspeed, 56cm on the seatpost c-t.
Frame is Tange Champion 2 Cro-Mo tubing, with Hi-Manga forks and Shimano EF dropouts. powdercoated in an orange pretty close to the original Indian Red. (asked Koga, but the keep no records of the clours codes for the old frames) Fresh set of decals has been applied.

Kept the era specific Shimano 600 EX group set, but upped from Arabesque to the last non-SIS gruppo. The original was a mix of AX and Arabesque so felt fine fitting AX brake levers & an Arabesque headset.

SR fluted seatpost, SR Road Champion Bars and quill stem, Italia Sprint saddle and SR 100-AL Quill pedals are all period correct.

Wheels are Mavic Module e2 rims on Shimano 600 hubs, Specialized touring k2 700cx25 rear, Michelin BTB 700x23c front.

Not looking to get more than what it cost to put together, just need to move it on to bring in the next project.

£300 seems fair.

Collection from bristol is preferred, but happy to courier if you arrange,

pm'd

@OllieTheWizard no idea about the frame at all, which seems to be my thing, the last 4 bikes i've had have all be odd frames that it seems to be really hard to get info on.

This lovely Peugeot 531 Professional frame is just too big for me.
Hard to date the 80's P's but looks to me a mid 80's PY-10 or CFX-10

Either way it's full 531 Pro tubing which, these days is pretty rare, with chrome simplex dropouts and chrome forks.

Seat post 60cm c-t
Top tube 57cm c-c

Some paintwork has been.touched up over the years, but it's not too bad a job with no visible surface rust. Expanding seatpost, means a super slick look to the rear triangle.
Campagnolo Mirage headset and Shimano 72 Bb included, keeping the stem though.

Collection from bristol ideal, but can ship for £15 by courier

£250

Looking good bud, cant tell you how much i enjoyed mine when i had it, wish i knew what model it was!

if you can stretch to 7400 in the future, go for it, had mine running on 7403 8speed sti with 7700 cranks, just a dream to ride.

Go with The DT's!!
I run DA 7700 9 speed st dhifters on my old Cov Eagle (126mm hub spacing), runs like a dream, light too!
