Wow, your Olympic is super nice! Colour me jealous. I actually bought mine off Lightbluejosh on the forum about this time last year and have slooooowwwwlllly been building it up when I have the spare time and cash. I'm at work now so don't have a pikkie on me, but here is a link to his build and a list of the parts I've bought below:

My single speed build so far:
Cinelli Giro D'Italia 65-42's Bars
Cinelli 1A 115mm stem
Brooks Team Pro Classic saddle
Campagnolo Aero seatpost
Campagnolo 170 Strada GS Cranks
MKS Sylvan road pedals
Tange Falcon headset (was already on the frame)
System Ex track hubs

Probably gonna get some Halo retro rims and get the wheels built up by a friend to finish it off, then continue to tweak it as and when the right parts turn up.

70293 here, i thought the year was first two digits

hilary's got some for sale with the flat qr on the calipers

Hey. Just found this on the web which seems to explain the difference in numbers:

"Mercian frame numbers include the year of manufacture, but where the year appears in the sequence has varied over time. From the 1970s through 1999, the year is the last two digits of the frame number. After 1999, the last four digits are the year of manufacture. For at least part of the 1950s, the first two digits indicate the year, but this pattern was not followed consistently."

Speak to Hilary Stone...

I've checked his website and I was hoping for something a little cheaper.

ooh me too 1970 what's your serial number?

puts anorak on

Haha. It's 11370

is it an Olympic?

Yep.

I have a Mercian frame that was built in 1970, so Ideally as close to that year as possible. But to be honest, I don't mind as long as it's from that era and they're in good condition.

I'm looking for some 70s Campy break calipers. Anyone?

Im sure I have the campion del mondo in the sizey you want

PM'd!

Okay, I'm still in the market for some Cinelli bars. It seems I'd be best off with some Campione Del Mondo 66-42s or Giro D'Italia 64-42s to fit a 26.4 stem. Less scratched up the better.

@ExTra If you don't mind, a photo would be good.

ExTra - the bars look good but I think 40 may be too small as I'm building a single speed and was thinking of having the break levers in the centre and don't want my hands resting on the curve. But to be honest, this is only a worry as I haven't tested this setup so let me know if you think that just wouldn't be a problem.

Fyodor - Any chance I could get a picture?

Sounds good. Are they 65-42s? And any chance of a photo?

Hey

I'm looking for some Cinelli Criteriums or Campione Del Mondo drop bars. Would ideally like 42cm to fit a Cinelli 1a stem (26.4mm), that are in good enough condition to use uncovered.

I live in Hove and can pick up locally, otherwise they would need to be posted.

^ Sorry Eaglewolf. I skim read the thread and missed your dibs. So err...second dibs if you don't want 'em.

Hey. I'm in Hove and interested in the Campione del Mondo bars. Are they still available and if so any chance of meeting up Thursday before noon?

I've PMed ExTra but haven't heard anything back as of yet. In which case I'm still in need of the seatpost. Anyone else have one they could sell me?

Anyone got a Campagnolo Aero Seatpost 27.2 (with shield emblem ideally) for sale? Looking to spend about £20 plus P+P. Less scratched up the better, obviously.

Any chance of a picture of the Cinelli Crits?

Sorry, undibs on the Campy BB.

Provisional dibs on the Campy BB. Just need to check a couple of things.

Dibs on the Mercian!

Just upgraded so I'm selling my Powermac G5 Dual 2Ghz Power PC with an Apple 17" LCD Studio Display, Apple Keyboard and Mouse. The machine is perfectly set up for someone wanting to do Graphic Design or Media as it comes loaded with the Adobe CS4 Master Collection and Microsoft Office.

Looking for £400.
Collection only (Brighton)
Dibs followed by PM.

Love this! And I'm so sooooo glad it isn't my size as I may well have had to turn to a life of crime so it could be mine.

Thanks for the replies. I was feeling pretty gutted about missing out on the frame but it looks like it was probably for the best.

Hey

I’ve just joined the forum and was lucky enough to get first dibs on this really nice Claud Butler frame yesterday. Anyway, as I’m new here I’m not exactly sure how the buying process should have played out so I wanted to get some feedback on what’s happened.

Okay, so after I said I wanted the frame, Seth81 contacted me and we exchanged e-mails trying to sort out a good time for me to buy. As I live in Brighton I said I could pick it up on Saturday afternoon. At which point he asked me if I would pay him the full amount via Paypal to secure it. I wasn’t exactly sure if this was normal (is it?) and as a result I offered to pay him half the cost as a compromise.

After waiting nearly a day for a response he got back to me saying that he’d wait til Saturday but he didn’t give me any Paypal instructions. A couple of hours later I received an e-mail asking if I’d also buy a seatpost from him along with the frame. I thanked him for the offer but said I was happy with just the frame.

A couple of hours after that I get another email saying he’s gonna offer the frame to the second dibber as he’ll buy the seatpost and he lives in London. I obviously replied saying that if I have to buy the seatpost because it’s a dealbreaker then I will as I really like the frame.

Anyway, he’s just got back to me saying that the deals off.

Sooooooooooo...I basically just wanted to put the feelers out and see if this kinda behaviour is typical or whether I just got unlucky as there is generally a forum etiquette when it comes to buying/selling? If so it would be good to know for future dealings.

Thanks in advance.
