The seat tube is 56cm c-c. Not sure of the exact year but it is mid to late 1980s. The number on the BB is not clearly stamped in the paintwork but possibly EE666 or 99933 if looked at the other way.

Following the replies I did some research last night and there is no doubt I could make more money selling everything separately…probably about £50 more so it looks as if that’s the way to go once I sort out boxes for the frame and wheels it is unlikely I could get a local buyer for a complete...

I would need the saddle almost on the top tube...as in the old days.

I have a late 80s Treviso Catena Lusso Columbus Aelle f&f in Red with chromed forks in the shed plus a lot of other mid/low range Campagnolo kit from a noughties alloy Pinarello Angliru I had to scrap because of chainstay corrosion. My dilemma is I just cannot decide what to do with them. I...

I no longer have the bike (big mistake 😢) but around ten years ago I picked up this 94 708 Randonneur for around £40 in a bit of a state as shown: After a lot of work I got it looking like this and enjoyed riding it but had a couple I rode more. I sold it to a New Zealander who wanted a good...

Sorry. Just gone.

Having a clear out of projects that will not be completed so a couple of things to go for free. The Orbit America 56cm 531 Competion frame from around 1990 is a bit too big for me. There is a layer of very fine rust spots on the pearlescent white paint surface of the frame due to it being...

Just too late, gone to number 49. He who snoozes loses!

Replied!

Been hanging around for years and will never be used so does anybody want them? They were last on a bike about 15 years ago and were OK then, but not tested since. 7 speed, plus the extra click. Postage cost only which shouldn't be more than a few quid.

I have a red 80s Treviso and a red 90s Angliru, both of which seem the same shade of red, and need some touch up paint for the scratches and nicks. Does anyone know if there is a good match in Humbrol/Revell model paints. Humbrol 19 or possibly Humbrol 220 look OK.

Can't remember, but it probably did as I contacted Hope about them. Eventually sold them and wheels to secret_squirrel.

Fair enough. Will do. It's a great site. One problem is that I will not risk going on it while it still has this security warning, so will have to wait before donating a few quid.
