Didn't think that'd hang around long.
Some bike, there's bound to be a story around it.
'Hope" someone got it who will appreciate and not to see it split up, or flipped for profit.

Re: Re:
I thought it was more than that? Isn't there a grey one around? I'd be inclined to agree the price was very good, then again the red one is in my garage...

Re:
There was 2 models on the sales sheet wasn't there though!
Zinn 753 disc in red
Zinn centaur disc in blue
Maybe they only built 2 of one of them and he doesn't remember the other model?

He is right about the Hope mechanical disc ..... they really weren’t great
Stopping power was dire - in the end the front hub split and let go of three spokes forcing me to move over V brakes which were cheaper /lighter and worked better

Re: Re:
Makes sense, except mine is 531, red, and came built with Centaur
I guess just because the model was on the sales sheet it doesn’t mean they actually built them?

Re: Re:
true......
icarus was the replacement for centaur in 1992 so maybe yours is an earlier late 1991 version and was available in custom colours?
just throwing it out there.

Which hub was that, only I thought the early mechanical were for big flange hubs, which if todays is anything to go by should have been strong enough.Retro Spud":3t8br0bh said:
I know the early ones get a lot of stick for cracking, especially the ti centered and 36h, but i sometimes wonder if one of the real reasons was people continuing to tighten and tighten the spokes while retruing. Something would have to give eventually.
just a thought
