Quill or ahead?

I've got a (modern) repro leather saddle-fit toolbag, it's new as far as I can see (came with a bike), £15 posted?

Thanks again for your patience and measuring. Unfortunately, tempting though it is, it's just a bit too small for me so I'm going to have to pass. Lovely bike and a great deal, good luck with the sale.

I understand that, I was interested in the measurements as it is now in the photos, as a benchmark for relative sizing? A visual guide if you like.

Just wondering if you had a chance to do more measuring yet? 😬🙏

Many thanks for providing those. Could I ask for 2 more (sorry, should have thought on 1st request) - saddle height from centre of cranks to top centre of saddle, and tip of saddle to centre of bars? Thanks in anticipation.

Please could you also confirm size - ideally seat tube centre (BB) to top, and top tube centre to centre? Thanks

Exactly as per title please - RAID version ONLY, nothing else will do. Condition immaterial as long as the arms and the mounting pieces for conventional frame drillings are salvageable, I will be replacing all the 'small parts' including the bolts and bushings. Thanks in anticipation!

OP seems to have started a new thread (maybe accidentally) - the page 3 in question is here: https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/h-r-morris-complete-road-bike-a-one-off.473945/page-3

Thanks - I will PM you...

Morning - just wondering if you are ready/prepared to consider selling the frameset separately yet?

Apologies for delay getting back to you. I would like £65 posted. Here are some photos: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/bvpsucpbr5uohunc2utc3/h?rlkey=q94aub9fxjyztzf2bd5om5ogw&dl=0 Technically it's medium cage not long, but I have used identical mechs with a 53/42/32 and 13-28 cassette and there...

I have a NOS Mirage 8spd one somewhere, but if you're not fussy any Campag 8/9/10 spd long cage will work with 8spd, I have used several 9/10 spd ones and they work perfectly. Jockey wheels are the same as is the cable pull if using Ergo levers or indexed downtube shifters.

Hi there - I am about to start downsizing my own collection and offloading spare stock (I do retro builds for other people). I ride 55/56 myself so have a lot of choice for you depending on budget... here's a taster: Colnago Master Piu in Team Panasonic colours 54.5cm sq Colnago Master Olympic...

Nice - are the wheels 700 or 27"? Hard to tell from photos?
