Finished my 86 Compact with Record 10 speed and carbon wheels, it’s really nice to ride

1986 Gios Compact

Finished the 86 Gios Compact. Campagnolo Record 10 speed. Very pleased with this!

Haha here you go! Not for sale currently - that might change if it turns out to be too big...

I’m pretty sure it’s just the small frame size and short head tube making the top tube look longer. If you look at the old catalogs:

https://vintagecannondale.com/catalog/

Older CAADs had very similar if not identical geometry

The Saeco CAAD 4 I accidentally bought on eBay arrived. I have stripped it, looks really good except for a tiny bit of paint bubbling on the headtube and fork crown, and a few other scratches. Frame and fork are definitely solid. I don’t usually like red bikes but this one is great! It is a frame size 52 so I’m just slightly worried it is a tiny bit too big for me, but I will wait and see.

It came complete with almost all the original parts including CODA hubs, brakes and cranks. I have no need for these, in case anyone needs them I have advertised them here:

Plan is for a rebuild probably with SRAM Rival, Mavic Ksyriums and maybe a carbon seatpost, I will post updates...

Finishing bits:

Groupset - additional pics removed

Wheels sold, pics removed

Hello everyone

I recently acquired a 2001 Cannondale CAAD 4 R600. I will be rebuilding it so have no need for the components. I rode it once with these parts, they all work ok. They are mostly the original spec as far as I can see from comparing it with the catalogue from that year, so may be of use to restore another old Dale, or just as cheap / beater parts. They are all well used so quite dirty, especially drivetrain bits. I have got the worst of the grime off but they may need further cleaning.

Pictures to follow below. Just these bits left now:

Rear derailleur: Shimano 105 5500 9 speed medium / long cage. Scratched and dirty but works ok, one of the jockey wheels is quite worn. Should work with Shimano 9 speed MTB stuff too.
£6

Stem: Cannondale alloy 1 1/8 Ahead 26mm clamp 90mm centre to centre. Couple of scratches and bolts are a bit rusty.
£5

Collection in London NW3 please. Could possibly meet more central, Kings X / Euston, Holborn or Paddington areas maybe. I can post within UK.

Please let me know if any questions. Thanks for looking!

Dave

Thanks!

Seller said 52cm, but I’m not sure if that is the frame size, or a rough measurement either TT, or ST c-c / c-t. Took a punt anyway cos I’m quite small, 52cm c-t is the upper limit for a size I can ride. I thought it was too good to miss, it’s such a great frame and looks to be in excellent condition. I will post updates, and if it’s too big I will advertise it for sale here!

Hello, do you still have the chainset?

Oops, accidentally bought this (sellers pic) with a speculative offer on eBay!

Will obviously be doing a full rebuild, SRAM Red etc...

Hello all

I’m on the look out for a compact 10 speed Campagnolo chainset. Preferably black. Please let me know if you have anything like this!

Thanks

Dave

Edit: no longer looking, thanks

Thanks everyone!

As requested, details of my Gios Compact. Cable guides around the BB are amazing, and the adjustable dropouts...

Build will start next week!

Thanks, yes the Motta is gorgeous. Paint is quite chipped, I might get it repainted one day. I was thinking it would look great in white, keeping the chromed fork...

Yes the Z era Peugeots are so good. I have seen a few higher end steel frames around with similar paint jobs (including one on here a few months ago I think) but never in my size.

And thanks, I am getting better and hopefully will be back at work within the next few months. Cycling is definitely helping my recovery, although my fitness has gone and I’m a bit feeble right now...

Will take some later!

Next projects are:

1. Rebuild Peugeot 753 Pro with DA9000
   
2. 1986 Gios Compact, Record CT groupset
   
3. Potential modern carbon summer bike TBC
   

Most recently, I built this one for a friend. Olmo Scatto, not sure of the year but must be 80s. It is immaculate, either NOS or fully restored. Columbus SLX, this is a beauty. 2nd hand Campagnolo Centaur and ex-demo Campy wheels, very pleased with this one.

Having built all these bikes for other people I thought I deserved one for myself. This is a Peugeot 753 Pro from the late 80s I think, another one bought on this forum. Really light and great to ride. Built with SRAM Red and Mavic wheels. I rode this a lot last autumn but I am currently in the process of rebuilding it with Dura Ace 9000 which suits the bike much better. I will post a new pic when its finished.

Another really nice frame built for my other sister's BF. Peugeot from around 1986, Reynolds 531. Model decal says Aneto, its a PY-10 or similar, bought on here. He's quite new to cycling so we built it with flat bars for town riding. New wheels, 2nd hand Tiagra groupset but an 80s crankset to keep the retro look. Changed the tyres to 25mm Vittorias after this picture was taken!

This one is a bit special: a Concorde Squadra from 1988 / 89. Columbus SLX, this was a PDM team race bike (Lemond, Kelly, Theunisse, Alcala etc). I am pretty sure I once saw this frame or a very similar one on here somewhere. This was built for my sister's boyfriend. 105 and Fulcrum wheels.
