Made a few boring changes to my Gazelle, including the crank set, bottom bracket, saddle, bar tape, straps, saddle bag, mudguard and new kicks, which actually match loads of stuff, never meant them to.

I got a ride on Sunday and it might rain, so bodged on a mudguard and got a huge saddle bag with room for a thin jacket

Tyres look good. Michelin Dynamics? Shame you changed the original crank, why was that, for lower gearing? Other than the modern saddle and the extra's it's looking pretty good. Glad you changed the hoods and tape for black, looks much better than the white I had on it.

One of these bikes passed through my hands some time ago. It had Shimano 600 Ultegra though which looked much better than the Sante imo:

maybe....

I had to look into it so consulted the encyclopedia. These are Athena monoplanars. Very different...well distinctly different anyway.

And no I would not be so bold as to claim that I am right about the laser etching that I would have to add "to the best of my knowledge".

Couldn't find your link on Retrobike though to confirm what yours were.

Price revised for this lovely Italian Vagacini


I'm no expert either but quite sure that:

1st gen levers had the circle bits you mention and they also had those fiddly little inserts for the cables which are a pain to set up and easily lost. 2nd gen didn't have inserts and had a hole in the lever (front centre top)

All monoplanars had group name laser etched on them apart from Chorus afaik. Also square edged blocks indicate they are early models. Very nice condition these ones as they are prone to rust.

Friction levers points to an early group I'm quite sure 2nd gen was indexed.

Biggest give away is the the very distinctive rear mech which is very clearly 1st gen Chorus.

Very honorable of you to keep the price so low, this groupset is a superb deal!

1st gen Chorus. Nice condition, very good price.

SOLD, SOLD, SOLD

I have this lovely Vagacini for sale. Vagacini has loose connections to Colnago, facts seem hard to come by but some say Vagacini builds for Colnago.

This is a superb example in near new condition. There is barely a blemish on the Columbus Aelle frame with it's distinctive carbon look and green splatter paint job and the rather rare Suntour SL groupset (very nice!) looks unused.

All in all a lovely unique Italian ride.

£400 + £15 postage or collection from ME12 is more than welcome.

I have a long cage Veloce should you need it.

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.

I have a matching rear if anyone is interested.

I was going to go into production with these but alas things did not work out and I've just got the 10 or so samples which I'm looking to shift on.

Included in the sale is everything you need to turn your Campagnolo chainring (135mm bcd) into a clock.

Price is £21.95 posted (excludes chainring and bolts).

Wasn't sure whether to put this here or in Anti:


Is this sold?

Still for sale.

Ok looks like it works out to be about an extra £15 so £25 postage

Yes. Northern Ireland? Give me a postcode and I can get an accurate quote.

Had a very similar bike, lovely it was. Ended up in the USA:

600 Ultegra chainset - 170mm 39, 52 - £28

I have got a 6500 somewhere in not the greatest condition, I have a Ultegra bb for it as well as a DA bad news is neither bb is up to much.

Erm...sale withdrawn of above bike. Suspicious....

Looks like a Campag mix N/R rear mech, Triomphe chainset, Athena'ish brake levers, etc. Nice mix though, works well together.

at 5'11" i ride a 56cm but 55cm to 58cm will fit.

Think maybe you should eBay it!!! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/140730567801?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649 wtf??? I seriously must be missing something, why do my auctions never go stupid like that?

Thanks for not splitting that DA group.
