That's a lot of money, but I suppose 753 SBDU's in that size don't come round that often and all it takes at the end of the day is two bidders. I put some C-Record brake levers on about 4 years ago which went for £150 with two determined bidders. I couldn't believe it!!

Surprised it went that high.
I'd assumed it was a womens frame and therefore a limited market.

Re:

Hi
Ye are dead right I ended up paying over the odds for the sbdu, & was very wary of the "0" rated bidder but I've been searching for a 20.5 since the ice age so ... jump & be dammed That's the way it goes some times. Just means a lot more O.T........

The PJ has me stumped too....

It will build up into a great bike, make sure you create a thread in the Reader's Bikes section.

Ive a super record group-set / 3TTT bars / campag:GP4 wheelset ready to go so ill build it up first & ride it/ Ill restore it next winter... probably
This is the bike Ive always wanted since my father brought home a raleigh banana around '81 ish. I remember he paid 300 IR punts for it that time (Whatever came over him) which was about 2 weeks wages. I doubt our car cost that at the time
It will be nice to do a few sportives on the sbdu & leave the race bike for the racing.
Any advice is gratefully accepted ....

You have your dream frame, and for an extra £40 or so you will have forks to match. I wouldn't be losing any sleep over it (unless my missus found out)

+1 for build thread!!

... and he's not convinced me that this is even a 753 anyway!

Ha ha ha Ill try harder gavr

Out of interest (If there is any ) after a bit of digging....

The bike may have belonged to Peter Winnen's as his middle name is Johannes (PJ) and he is 5' 7" (20.5") - so maybe . . . Ive emailed Peter Winnin & hopefully will know more later
