Wanted 80s road bike**sorted Gazelle on its way**

[Jones]

Just putting out feelers as there's no rush, I've been lusting after 80's road bikes so I'm looking for something about 53/54 cm that I can take out on sunny Sundays for tea and cakes

I don't want to spend a silly amount of money but I've got a realistic budget

So something pretty and usable but other than that I'm open to anything, so what you got

Cheers
Steve

80s bike

Hi
I have a 23 inch (i think will double check) Falcon Cotswold. Beautiful Green Reynolds 531 frame. Fantastic condition. Looking for around £150 mark.

I have a Gianni Motta Personal with Campy.

23" is going to be too big sorry.

Can you pm me with photos details of the Gianni Motta please Legend

Hub dated early 80's

Thats very nice but looks bigger than 54cm looks more like a 55/56 :?:

I can just about get away with 54.5 top tube and seat tube but I'd prefer 54cm maximum.

Agree that looks bigger than 54 (about my size :shock: ) , pardon my ignorance but what is that steel lever next to the right alloy shifter lever do ?

Isn't that for the portacatena?

I'll measure again and post also pictures of a smaller Colnago. l8ter
