Re: And of my Raleigh Lo-Pro :)

Re: Photo of the Peugeot :)

Re: The Peugeot was an ex-team frame , built up with Campag super record , the Colnago was Cadel Evans team time trial bike which I purchased from a collector :)

Re: Here's mine that was built for me at Ilkeston by Gerald. The only nickel chrome Raleigh team colour scheme ever made. I wanted 753 but he wouldn't nickel plate it so went for 531 Professional. He asked me what Reynolds transfer I wanted and as I wasn't sure he put a 531 Professional at the...

Re: Oh and the S isn't silent - it is pronounced Sprick :)

Re: They were made in Gutersloh , then West Germany. I had one as a youngster and was a birthday present ( a 3 speed Tour de France model with Simplex and Huret gears) - went to the factory to choose it - I was 10 at the time (1975) . Most were purchased by forces personnel as there was RAF...

After an age trying to find out what the original Team Peugeot bikes were equipped with I thought stuff it ! It is an actual Team issue frame and I have built it up with Campagnolo Super Record. Maybe not a purist option but I am pleased with the results. The Peugeot Aneto was a copy of this...

Fantastic looking bike :wink: I have my old Raleigh Panasonic Lo Pro which was built for me which I believe was/is the only Lo Pro done in the Panasonic Team colours and nickel plated/Chrome rather than the usual white as on my Team 753 ;) Just purchased Cadel Evans actual Tour Colnago Time...

I am hoping it doesn't sell ! But if it does it would be nice to have it collected - A guy in Germany has asked if he can have a bid and he is willing to pay all shipping costs - or if not he will come over on the ferry and collect ! Anyway there are as of 10.30 2/5/11 122 watching :shock: !

Thanks for that. It also has the 'later' plastic cable guide under the bottom bracket rather than the two slots that the cable runs through (eventually ruining the bottom bracket).With this info I am led to beleive that it is infact a 'resprayed' Panasonic frame in 753T - off course I am open...

It is a genuine SBDU 753 I have had the bike a few years and it is genuine and no part of the frame has been replaced. The rear wheel is not off center - it is just the angle of the photo.My Panasonic SBDU built for me by G'o' Donavan in 1985 as a time trial special also has these rear stays.

Where can you get the 'GovD transfers - both mine are a bit 'shabby' on my frames and could do with renewing !

Excellent ! :) Just what I was after ! Ordered already ;) Many many thanks.
