I'm always heading to my local graveyard for that post build shakedown ride.👻

Seems in clean OEM condition with Suntour / Sugino parts. 4130 cromo lower range road bike....but still a nice bike for the dough IMHO. https://www.facebook.com/share/18qtGjDzSq/

You're not really going to know until you clean those scabs up and shine a light in there from the BB. The paint seems poor all over and the parts aren't amazing. Its a gamble but to my highly untrained glass half full eye thats seen worse....I would take a punt if this is your thing and you're...

Centaur in silver alu with 110BCD. Veloce was available in silver too.

Lot 457 is a Raleigh Ritmo.

Think this is an AD SL model (seller says it's 531 tubing). Would.love this if it wasn't so far away from me....coolest dork disc ever. https://www.facebook.com/share/1WJ8z1zmMc/

https://www.facebook.com/share/15bN7d3akB/ £75 (a bit scabby but original looking).

But...prices are creeping up. They seem to have achieved some kind of legitimacy in the s/h chopper market. As the Mk3 stock has risen Mk1&2 prices have fallen. Regardless - welcome to RB @Davelilly27 :)

Sellling bike parts - be prepared for nerds. Selling Campagnolo bike parts - be prepared for anoraks!

Storage wear my ar5e. Looks like wear wear. How does anyone think they can pull this off as NOS? The jockey wheels look worn or at very least encrusted in oily crap. Did they get like this from sitting on a shelf? What total balls.

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/356950829510 Complete with Carradice panniers and original receipt - for just over a ton. (Seller keeping the brooks but supplying original saddle).

I thought Malc Elliot had his bikes made by MB Dronfield and then stickered up in this era. In Field of Fire many of the team moan about the spec of the bikes supplied by ANC for the '87 TdF - that they were customer spec (I took this to mean 531 as an absolute best and not 753).

I started using this Silca PSI calc a few years ago. The move out to 25s and then 28s as being the norm...well I hadn't adjusted my 'science' of pumping everything 23 and under to 100psi and 25s to 90psi. Accoridng to the calc was I was going too high on pressure for every condition / tyre...

They (Freewheel) used to do a catalogue clearance sale now and then. Went to one in Willesden (1986/87?) as a callow youth and it was an alladin's cave of exotica you'd not see in your LBS.
