I haven't tried to find a colour match but I should do as it needs some touch ups. I might also reach out to Dave Yates to see if mine was also built by him. It might explain them being the same colour.

I have a Condor in a remarkably similar colour and it looks better with as much silver as possible.

Looks like too many wound sites for a pacemaker.

Not really retro but worth a punt here before "you know where". In good condition but there are a couple of scratches on the jockey cage and the top knuckle. There's also the usual discolouration of the back cage plate that the cheaper Campag mechs suffer from. The jockey wheel bolt Allen...

Resurrecting this thread as I've just found these again - having a big clear out! Hopefully these are better pictures.

I have a couple of ES300 Octolink BBs lying around, I think one is 113mm and the other 118mm but I can check when I get home if they would be of any interest.

Never mind the gearing - that saddle to 'bar drop makes my neck hurt just looking at it! Lovely bike though.

Pretty much all those negatives apply. You could probably also add not at all aerodynamic and given that the fast time trial courses back then were pan flat a pointless exercise in weight reduction. A friend of mine back in polytechnic days decided to drillium his steel frame, I'll let you...

What a terrible thing to do to a beautiful crank!

I guess the same principle applies regardless of whether it's Campag or Shimano. I was using an 8 speed chain which is just a bit wider than 10 speed so that's probably why the chain rub was happening. I have used an 11 speed chain on 10 speed chainrings and not had any issues.

Very nice! Looks similar to one I have, which EB dated to 1973 when I gave them the serial number. Mine is branded Favori and they had the name of the person who ordered it on file and that was the person I bought it from. It was also a few years ago now so I'm surprised they couldn't help you...

If the 8 speed chainset has the hidden 5th arm like the 10 speed one does then it will be okay. I used to run a 10 speed chainset with my 8 speed setup and the only slight issue I had was the chain rubbing on the outer ring when using the inner ring and the second to smallest sprocket on the...

BS6102 is a British Standards specification for safety requirements for bicycles. BR-AT50 is the model number of the brakes and they were made from 1986 to 1993 according to Velobase - https://velobase.com/ViewComponent.aspx?ID=2B99F8D4-1D96-4F69-BD3F-45B38DD7B7B9 The frame number could be...
