Re: Campagnolo Triomphe Groupset FOR SALE Sorry this groupset has now sold

SOLD SOLD SOLD - Here I have a lovely Campagnolo Triomphe groupset for sale. Its in lovely condition, only a few little scratches and some light surface rust on the brake caliper release levers. Otherwise, its all been polished up and it looks fantastic! Very little wear to teeth on chainrings...

Why you selling so soon?

Re: MKM 531SL frame only - splitting bike Dibs, pm'd

Re: Vintage Raleigh Corsa 501 reynolds If thats the whole bike, then 3rd dibs or whatever number in the queue I am.

It would also help if you weighed the frame and fork. Let us know your results! If its full Raleigh tubing the weight should reveal this.

The problem with Raleigh Records is that they seemed to produce all sorts of different variations, some high spec and some low spec. Some with the Team colours, and some like mine with completely different colour and decal schemes. The ones you find in the catalogues all seem to be bottom spec...

Cheers, I'll stick it up on there.

more photos added to first post

More photos. Whats this fork crown type called? I had the same on my Raleigh Panasonic Team Pro. also got a photo of the serial number, doesnt mean anything to me though??

That wiki states they were manufacturing bikes in the 80's and supplying bikes for the falcon teams into the early 90's. So its not implausible that its 1986+. Also that Falcon competitor is very similar in looks with reynolds 531c and thats stated as a 1986!

Also the spec of the competitor on Ebay reads "Falcon Competitor Triathlon size 23" 531c frame and forks Has the following components Campagnolo Hubs and QR skewers with Wolberr rims 27 x 1 1/4 Campagnolo Front and Rear Triomphe mec campag gear levers Stronglight 48 / 38 chainset...

I've found these that look to be the same era as mine, these are reynolds 531c. Ones says its 1986. two competitors and one scirocco, so you can imagine the next one up would be a "triomphe" like mine says on the top tube in the same place as it says "competitor" and "Scirocco" on these two...

Also got to remember these are fairly big frames 61cm c-t

Weight is 2870 grams with the heavy steel Headset and Bottom Bracket fitted. So those probably account for 450grams+ I would have thought. So i would say frame and fork is 2400grams My Harry Hall 531c frame with HS and BB is 3137 grams
