For sale:
Red 531 tubed road bike frame is early 80's, as is the groupset, fork is later. Decals say it is an Eddy Merckx, and I bought it as such, but I am not so sure. It is an ok older respray, looks great unless you are really close, it has some aero forks, which are later than the frame. Seatpost, stem, front mech, rear mech, chainset, shifters, pedals, brakes and brake levers are all Shimano 600, the wheels are Campag hubs on Mavic rims, 700c. 7 speed cassette with really good indexed shifting. The saddle is a lovely Selle Italia Eddy Merckx, with some wear to the sides. Plenty of life left in the cassette and chainrings and it is a really good rider, responsive and fast.
The frame is a 23 - 23.5 inch by my measurement (c - c)
Bad points - at some point the rear mech has been cut off and so the frame now has a separate hanger, it doesn't affect the ride, but it would look better with a new one braised on - pretty cheap to get done TBH, or an ideal frame for a fixie conversion. Also the bottom bracket has excessive movement and will need replacing before you ride it.
This was my main road bike untill the BB went, but I have a lovely carbon framset to replace it, so it has to go.
£110 - it owes me a fair bit more!
Saracen Rufftrax - Tange cromo frame, measures up as around a 19 inch frame, with bottom bracket and a set of 1 1/8 forks that came on my Kona.
£15

These are collected prices (from Worksop area) I can do postage at cost, but have never posted a bike or frame so would have to get a quote.
