Just working my way through this... God knows what's in there :LOL:

Elvish fresh from late 1960s France (or the world of Tolkien according to preference)

1960s Paramount with Nervar lugs rescued from the scrap bin 3 decades ago when I worked at Chevin Cycles. One day to be properly restored with Simplex gears and a suicide shifter 🤣

Thanks for posting these. Having established that I can't keep all my old bikes due to the (very happy) blending of households I've hit on a way of making sure I can still have a Clockwork / C16 by building up a teeny tiny one (such as above) for my partner's 12 year old :cool: Wasn't sure...

Not for me but if you get a red anodised version I could be tempted… GLWS :-)

Have replied - repeatedly 🤣

New stuff added

Sounds like a song by Burt Bacharach The purge of “I might keep that just in case” things continues. Is any of this any use? All prices are plus postage or with tea and biscuits thrown in for anybody who’d like to collect. Forks Vitus carbon fork 1” and about 200mm of carbon steerer £55...

Thank God this isn’t up North or my downsizing would be turning into upsizing!

That’s a great idea. Will do one too ()or does that mess up how it works?)

Fortunately although that one has gone, this one is waiting to be built and kept :) Just have to decide whether to put 1st generation Dura Ace on or Campag Triomphe (and then sell the other groupset to avoid the temptation of buying another frame)

Certainly is…

A couple of Italian gentlemen from the house of Signor Bottecchia… The maximum tire size of about 22mm made the 989 a “stimulating” ride!

And just to prove it was ridden for a while…

For @grantoury… Gazelle Champion Mondial now living with a lady in Edinburgh…
