I got a set of 70s record 5/6spd road hubs on silver mavic monte tub wheels.
also a campag chorus (?) front and miche rear hub on Ma40 (the narrow one) in grey tub wheels. Probably just about to sell them lol.

Reverse trike looks like heaps of fun. I wonder what its like on high speed bends.

coppiThat · 13th April 2012

Grammo Pista - Expen$ive - US

Tel · 14th April 2012

is it a "pista" or just a regular one taken at the wrong angle? Even track bikes don't have headtubes as steep as 90 deg.

DFP · 14th April 2012

Never 'got' grammo stems. Just look like the ones you get on BSO's.

jools182 · 14th April 2012

Is this head tube too far gone?

Corbey · 14th April 2012

Really tempted to get in on this

. Anyone got experiences with re-sprays and how much they usually cost?

Dandy · 14th April 2012

$1000,000

Corbey · 14th April 2012

Okay cool mate. I've heard around £100 for strip and respray but never looked into jobs including original decals etc. so was just wondering.

Nice frame! Deserving of a quality enamel respray. Mercian are about as good as it gets, plain stove enameled is £100 plus masking for the chrome. Powdercoating varies from say £40 to £80 but I'd say the frame is to good to powdercoat.

This.

Needs enamelling, and at the price it's definitely worth speaking to Mercian/Argos..

Vesalius · 14th April 2012

Is this an alan road bike about to go for £100?

Cheers for the tips, I've heard good things about Argos. Here's hoping it stays at a tenner....

Be worth asking if the head tube badge is available with the frame. Be a shame not to have it and it could prove difficult and expensive to track one down.

carson · 14th April 2012

what do you make of this? listed as a mtb frame - seller has no idea what they are selling - forks wrapped from shipping but (at least one) crank attached.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/110858546382?_trksid=p5197.c0.m619

apparently it's an xl frame so 62.5 cm seattube.

it's badly listed and no reserve so possible bargain for any big guys

George Sportif · 14th April 2012

Might be dodgy, guy might genuinely just be an idiot!

Dammit · 14th April 2012

That Dave Russell has a 56cm top tube, too short damn it.

hbmagpies · 14th April 2012

Not Ebay, but Apex Cycles on Clapham High Street has a 2011 Bianchi Pista in the window for £400 smackers. Pretty good value for OTP if you're into that sort of thing

If someone's in the market for a mountain bike, then this seems like it would be a very good frame (titanium tubing!) to build on for possibly very cheap:
