Righto then, new road bike means that I'm getting rid of 'old faithful'. I bought this new back in the mid 90's and it was my first, and until this week, only road bike.
The only original parts now are the frame, forks, headset and seatpost.
Early this year, the bike was treated to new chainrings, chain, cables and bottom bracket.
The frame is US made (ie welded together in the States!) True Temper AVR and the spec, whilst modest, is reliable. RSX STI, 500ex brakes, chainset and front mech with RSX rear mech.
Its running a custom 11-28 7spd cassette and a manly 42/52 combo up front... none of this modern poncey compact nonsense. Wind up the 52/11 and you'll be hitting some serious speeds and in the hills, the 42/28 will help you develop those nice legs that your partner wishes you had
Wheels are 105 hubs with Matrix ISOc rims. The hubs are pre-hyperglide but luckily, Shimano made the original hyperglide FH bodies retrofittable to the old hubs so despite their age, you benefit from modern slick shifting as I've fitted a modern HG freehub body.
Bars are wide, 440mm, saddle is a Flite, tyres are Bontrager racelite and Vittoria Rubino Pro.
I'd like £150 plus post please
Will get pics up later this evening!!
