Re: The forks on the 753 are also the same as those on the mystery frame, again isn't concrete but leads me to Argos. I have emailed them with some images and the frame number, so fingers crossed they reply.

Re: Hi good morning guys, thanks for the input. I'am 99.9 sure this could be an Argos build, as the frame is virtually identical to my "84" 753 TT bike The serial numbers are very similar, 8428 on the 753 as apposed to be mystery framed 8813 The only real difference between the two, is the...

Hi good afternoon guys, just wandering if you can help me out with a bike frames true identity? It was bought on eBay, as they usually are, with poor pictures and no maker description. The frame number on the bottom reads V8813, which I think maybe either an Argos built frame or a Condor? Any...

Re: Hi all, i have an 1984 TT frame built by Argos and would love to know i little more about the company. Superb attention to detail and craftsmanship.

Re: I keep looking at it in the garage and just wish it was a tad smaller. I'd rather not sell it, but somebody might be able to make better use of it than I.

Hi every one, after fighting with the idea that this bike is the correct size for me, I must admit defeat and face the truth, i'am just not tall enough lol. I've had the bike a week or so now and the only thing I've done is wash it and look at it, the bike is stunning. I will list a full set of...

Re: Thanks for the comment, she is stunning in the flesh, all the cable routing is internal even for the down tube shifters, i have the nagging thought that the frame is a tad to big. The heart is saying keep it the head says other wise lol.

Re: Hi all, just had an email from a nice gent called Mark over Argos cycles, he confirmed that the bike is one of there's and was built in 1984, now i'am excited :D Should be able to take a good look at the old girl tonight and give her a good clean and degrease. She wants new cables, bar...

Re: SERIAL NUMBER Just a few more shots from last nigh after the bike had landed. The bottom bracket shell is stamped ARGOS 8428, I have emailed Argos this morning to see if they can help information.

Re: And the finished item.

Re: It may have been some time and a lot of effort but the old girl is back!

Re: The bike hopefully arrives on Tuesday so i can have a closer look, just hoping the frame isn't to big. The gear change cables loom to run down in side the down tube and under the bb shell, or is just my imagination.

Hi good afternoon all, it looks like I may come into possession of the bike listed above within the title. The bike looks to be super clean and the components have virtually no usage. The frame looks to be 753 tubing with internal cable routing fitted with a mixture of Stronglight/Shimano and...

Re: More pictures added.

Hi morning all, I would really appreciate your help on trying to identify my latest edition. Recently purchased from ebay, the bike is laden with some decent components but I draw a blank at the frame and fork. Component list includes:- Mavic open 4 cd rims, Campag record high flange hubs...
