I feel for you that it's not selling. But you're now getting into Gumtree pricing, so maybe give that a shot. Just filter out the idiots who'll offer £50 and expect you to deliver it

My bro had a 60 cm Somec in SPX and that had a Columbus sticker that just said "spx". The sticker was identical in every way to the typical SLX one. With the chrome, cast lugs and shell and everything, it was a heavy frame, but looked fab

I remember back in the day , I'd think nothing of having a frame resprayed. Almost as if I was replacing bar tape. It was about £20 then. Even with 40 years of inflation, I don't think that would be over £300 today Edit ... I never used Mercian, I tended to use the 2 frame builders in Sheffield

If it was frame set only, I'd be licking my lips

so, was it a therapeutic experience?, ie did you shift much? ...... don't tell us you turned into a buyer ......

won't the 10 speed veloce you have work? I thought (but happily corrected if wrong) that 21st century 9 speed and 10 speed have the same pull ratio ???. If the 10 speed has a narrower cage, then use 10 speed instead of 9 speed chains

This Sunday

Oops.,. sorry I said something

Stop temping him. He's on a bike reducing programme

I'm sorry you took the necessary price reduction badly. Unfortunately, that's how the market is. I was (privately) interested. But the repair was putting me off. At some point, if price reductions continued, I may have been tempted. But it would have been for a nice summer bike and that...

Another solution (albeit not retro) is to strap a 10litre dry bag to it transverse style. It will keep everything dry in bad weather

Just tried to lookup Brifterising in the OED and couldn't find it 😉 Nice word!

Not really. For one, the OP's don't look to have cutouts in the lever body to let the cable escape onto the top of the bars, and secondly the ones in the video have black levers, the OP's look silver

Please tell me your sponsorship influence didn't force them to ride a single 60T chainwheel and a 12-18 block

Back in the day before hidden cables were invented, it was a thing for some time trialers to force the cable through the housing of a standard lever and drill the bars to accommodate the cable. Braking would have been compromised, but as the bikes were solely used for flat TTs, it didn't matter...

Yeah. I'd forgotten about the canyon shop. I did go in earlier this year for a mooch around. Let's just say I wasn't there long. And I didn't see any road bikes, just gravellers and MTBs. A Different Gear is good. They also build up used bikes to sell at reasonable prices. And then there's...

I think to fit these levers, you're meant to drill the bars. A hole where the lever is to thread the cable into the bars and another hole near the stem for the cable to exit the bars (each side of course). Not something I'd be comfortable in doing or riding

Bike shops are now moving towards how the motor industry is. Franchaised shops. So here in Sheffield we have a Giant/Liv shop, a Trek shop, Evans is essentially Pinnacle and Brompton. There's the Pinarello shop in Manchester. All are looking at selling spanky , new glitzy machinery. Plus...

It's been built up by a raw amateur bodger. Interesting way of mounting the front mudguard in front of the caliper. And the downtube cable stops are upside down. Someone with some spannering knowledge could turn it into a nice tourer though
