Offered: 7 speed record on Omega V Lambda

Hey all,

I built up a 7speed with my Viner at the start of the year. Beautiful wheelset (see pix). The wheels are record to Campagnolo Omega V Lambda

Thing is i've barely used the bike and when I have, the friction shifting just annoys me. The bike was meant to be for general pootling around town, but now i've got a mind to put chunkier wheels on and ride singlespeed (or maybe go down the now common internal hub route).

So the question is, do I sell them? Or chop out the 7speed record and get the rear built up with a fixed hub? They are genuinely gorgeous and still practically NOS.

Is anyone interested for around £175 with the original record skewers?

In a twist, I also have another 8speed rear lambda (this time to a chorus hub). This is also in great nick so could consider doing an 8 speed set as well.

So we have an all record 7 speed set, or a mixed 8 speed set - all in great nick.

Or should I chop out the hub and re-build. What do you reckon?

Thanks for the advice,
Kam

i will buy these off of you. but you should not sell them. the bike's lovely as-is.

Damn, fast response - thanks Teddy!

They are very nice, but hey I have other bikes and other wheelsets - 7speed just isn't doing it for me! I nicked half the parts off that build for the Chesini in any case, the Viner's had around 9 lives.

I'll take a day or two to think about it but you are keen?

either way [no patronisation intended], hope you're removing the sprocket blocks before "chopping" out those lovely hubs..
nice site btw.s

ps any idea where i may be able to get/ borrow a Regina 2-prong remover?

hi S,

Retro_di_Corsa maybe? It's his site.

Teddy, pm coming your way - sorry for delay
