That's cool as f***. Love the cro mo sticker.

This is the stuff i’m here for!

For me everything is about stuff with wheels, so cars, motorbikes and classic pushbikes. The pushbikes are a nostalgia hit as theyre my first real experience of freedom and also of spannering, building and fettling. When I want to do just a little bit of this, pushbikes are the outlet. Super...

Don't forget a lot of multispeed freewheels can be split open and spaced the same as cassettes can, if you want to get a good chainline without dishing, spacing axles, etc. https://www.retrobike.co.uk/attachments/img_1896-webp.505364/

I'd single that and put skinny tyres on it. Like I do to everything.

I have a real penchant for the bb mounted U brake era. Just look so clean on the seat stays. Love it.

Same.

Agree this is an 84-86 model (I have one). Non-original tyres, pedals and saddle from what I can see. If you can post more images including close ups of the drivetrain it would help. Nice to see another one still alive :) ETA here's mine...

I love a randonneur, but twelve hundred quid does seem a little excessive.

That is an excellent save of a very elegant bike.

That’s right, your Quadra was the spiritual successor. Has futuristic aero section rims iirc? Great bikes.

Absolute legend, that’s the stuff. Thank you :)

Had this from new in 87 and just got it out of storage today. It had a layer of dust on it to make your eyes water and two flat tyres. Quick blast off and reinflation and it rode the same as when I put it in storage (about 10 years ago iirc). I'm having trouble sourcing new bar tape though...

Good save. What plans do you have for iit?
