Smart though..

Its old. For carbon anyway, that naked finish was on Wiliers about 2004-06. Which is prehistoric in carbon terms ;)

The android app is spot on!

PM sent Dolph. Re enquiries, the seat/top tube dimensions are 62cm/59.5cm, both c to c.

PM sent. The bike is not for splitting!

Hi

Just email the above address. I have about a dozen comprehensive hi res pics of the bike.

Ginormous 63cm C to Top Bottechia, SLX tubing, Campag ends, slotted 'intercooler' bottom bracket, Cinelli full sloping fork crown, nice long point cut out lugs. The paint is very, very good, almost flawless.

Campagnolo Chorus Seatpost, Hubs, cassette and Headset, Daytona running gear, 8 speed Ergos. Wheels are laced onto true and very clean Campagnolo Omega rims (clinchers), stainless spokes. Cinelli bars/stem, Turbo saddle.

Too big for my booty, cant seem to upload pics just get 'error uploading' message. Loads of pics and any questions via email: flyingscot500@gmail.com

£600 the lot.

Might be worthwhile contacting Vic Haines (ex manager) who 'sold' the Obree bike on Ebay last year. A little bird tells me that the winning bid was a 'scam bidder', ie a supporter of Obree who was not chuffed with the press Vic did pre sale, which was unecessarily critical of Obree. Pound to a Euro he still has the bike, might be worthwhile making him an offer for the original parts... The 'real' bids topped out at about £3K. After that it was just people takig the mick.

Pink tape... I have loads of it (okay, about six rolls! All Benotto original) PM me if interested. Looks good on blue/black frames.

I've got a Daccordi with Zeus frame parts. Nice fork crown, but I've also seen them on a few British built bikes. If your North/North West it could be an MKM form Blackpool. They have a frame registry. They were very fond of the micro cast fork crown.

It might well be a Mercier though, with the French BB....

Geoffrey Butler carry a good set of both Shimano and campag spares.

Whats the shift like on the Ergos? I had a set last year and they were very dull and clunky.

Looking at a Claud track frame with a stuck seat pin for <100 dorrah. Is it worth it, is it not hell on earth to get them out?

The new Planet X track frame is available.

This was to be expected really since they sold they 'old' frames at a lower price over the last couple of months.

Suprisingly, it is for sale on eBay and not advertised on their website...

They sold about ten of these through ebay two years ago, all with the same frame defect: the rear wheel frame dish was out by about 1.5mm. A relatively easy work around but not ideal. I dont think any of them went for more than £150!!

Hard to say,it has a zeus crown and dropouts but i have a flying gate with the same crown and dropouts so it's not automatically a zeus frame.I think you need a frame number and someone who can interpret it.

Yep, I had a Daccordi with exactly the same ends and fork crown. Could be anything really... Zeus decals are cheap though!!

Occasionially you can pick up Colnago Supers (modern ones 1980/90's) ex forks for cheap. I bought one off ebay two weeks ago for £100. I'd already bought a decent set of forks for £50, chromed lugs and seat stays. They're out there!

You can pick up decent Cornelo frames from time to time. He was a renegade builder for Colnago and parted company. I'd say they were among the finest Italian frames out there and usually go half of what you'd expect from Ernesto...

A neat fitting sprocket might get you going, not all threads are similiar!

I'm pretty sure theyre not much more than £4 on the fleapit.

^ You'd think not if you saw my local velodrome on a Saturday morning...

I had this happen to a Mavic Pista, it wasnt completely threaded though. I tried some older Regina 3/32 sprockets on it, which always had a finer thread themselves and a bit of 'bite' and it worked flawlessly. I suppose it all comes down to how much damage there is.

SOunds like the nut is threaded, or on the way to being threaded. New bolt/nuts arent expensive though.

Cromovelato is a very posh finish, you'd really only find it on top end framesets.

Oria also made a crimped tubeset but only for a few years.

Just to confuse things, Oria had a crimped tubeset for a short period also, but this would have been top of the tree in quality terms.

INterested in the body if you split?
