I'm guessing the steel/alu Flexstems use the same quill/body as the Ti version?

That's not helping either! 🤣 That is stunning, especially with a double U-brake!

Now that's not helping me not look at this bike! I do think it will fit and will be a bike I could ride for a long time (both age and duration) due to frame size/geometry...

Stop making me look at it!!! They'll probably accept £350! I don't have a 1987 6 speed machine amongst my bikes... earliest I have is a 1989 7 speed...

...and just click on Buy it Now??? 😜

This is @ferrus territory of Campagrandomoloness... I reckon they must have at some point... 🤔🧐🤪

Biggest thing I miss about London is all the bike perving. Crazy mix of bikes and riders and plenty of old bikes, some still very much original, but sadly most had been murdered, sorry modernised by wannabe hipsters… Sorry for the massive thread derail! 😬🤯

GOG: A person from North Wales. It's a shortened form of "gogledd" (north) or "gogleddwr" (northerner). HWNTW: A person from South Wales, used by those from North Wales. It comes from the Welsh word "hwnt," meaning "yonder" or "over there". Us Welsh are very odd! Amazing MTBing around...

Love the great North, South divide of London Town! 🤪 Lived SE, SW and then West London. Ealing was north of the river, but clearly not North London. Can't believe it's approaching 2 years since I left London and my life is more chaotic than ever! Still getting used to being back in Wales...

Well maybe one day a rendezvous will take place! The hardest decision will be what bike to bring with you!

@PhillB and @ibbz you two need to meet up!!! I know you're at opposite sides of London which means you might as well live in different countries... ;) So close yet so far!

I saw these earlier and thought that's a great deal and should have just said I'd buy them at the time, but got distracted by work... you work, you lose!

It's the MBUK test of the Campagnolo Centaur equipped Swallow convinced me to move away from Shimano... for a short time because my bike got stolen as I was slowly upgrading my components...

I think it would fit me OK. I'm only 5' 7" and a 80s 19" would be spot-on and the tall headtube would make it super comfy. A far cry from the 90s machines I raced on!

100%. This is a great buy. Love 6 speed XT too. Would be a shame to ever respray an original paint job, but this would be brought to life with new paint. I live inbetween the two collection points. I think he may have sold other bikes in the past as the x2 locations sound familiar, unless this...
