Second dibs on the Condor if doesn't work out

I bought my first BMX in the 80's from Thakes - great shop

Considering putting this on ebay - last chance for any interest

@pakchoi hi it's 126mm. However, believe that sheldon brown said that you could fit a 130 hub quite comfortabley in a 126mm space. Quite common when the number of speeds increased in the 80s.

@Scilly.Suffolk this is great, thanks

@roboto as per my DM - any suggestions?

SOLD - thanks everyone for your interest

@coventry_eagle thanks for the insight. I always thought they were just done to save some weight!

@The.Gren - Yes - they have been drilled (not by me!)

more picks of the MINT headset and seat stays - few scratches but it is 36 yrs old

Final price drop before I split and sell the parts on ebay
£325 - full bike - pick up preferred - delivery for a fee
£300 - full bike but no pedals - pick up preferred - delivery for a fee

Price Drop - £130 ONO (pick up SW London)

1980 vintage Motobecane frame for sale.

60cm

Excellent condition considering it is a 36 year old bike.

A few chips and decal marks but really nothing that is to worry about. To be honest, given its age, it could be considered in near perfect condition.

Included is a MINT CONDITION shimano arabesque headset. French thread.

Also a shimano square taper bottom bracket (115mm). French/swiss thread original. Excellent condition.

£200 ONO (could post for a fee, otherwise local pick up)

@WMaxA PM me your offer

@Wadi2 where are you based? pick up is easier for me, but happy to be flexible on this.

PRICE DROP - £140 ONO (pick up only - SW London).

@Djentleman £25

@Olly398 thanks. The remaining decals say "Sorrento" but I do agree that other BMZ's have a similar paintwork

@Djentleman it is a frame i bought on fleabay last year. The same company is now selling the frame at about £90. I guess its a OEM factory build. Happy to part with it for a sensible offer.

@user67444 I am based in SW London so that might be an option. PM you offer?

1. 1980s 54cm Columbus frame and forks Unknown brand ("Sorrento"?), but
   Italian made
   
2. Comes with brand new Tange 1" headset (chrome, not
   featured in pics) and original Ofmega square BB (in excellent
   condition)
   
3. Copper cromovelato paintwork - needs redoing or taking
   back to the chrome
   
4. Some (minor) rust spotting on chrome - typical of
   age
   
5. It may look like there are scratches on the frame but this is
   where the cromovelato paintwork has come off (quite common occurrence)
   
   

£150 ONO (pick up only - SW London).

PM me your offer

Hi All,
Would consider breaking the bike for parts if there are any specific requests.
Would also consider a sensible offer
thanks

Hi got a colombus steel (chromed) F+F with tange headset and Ofmega BB. I also have on sale here a full single speed bike (Alu/Carbon)

@Veloclass - Thanks! It rides well, although I have had a complete melt down with the tubulars and punctures, so I am now building a clincher wheelset to save my sanity.
