$950.00, somebody has money to burn.

Jeez, I should have polished mine up and sold them on ebay, £150 last year.

Then is the chainring the valuable bit?

£35 is fine, did you not get my PM?

dibs on the kit lens, thanks

Superb. You can get real bargains on road bikes of that era.

What a beauty. Few tweaks and you got yourself a lovely ride!

Cheers, i'm looking forward to giving it a proper ride.

Just picked this up:

A Langdale frame (local bike shop) in 653,
Shimano 600 groupset,
Mavic rear on Open 4 CD
Nice campag seat post

Rides very smoothly, very different to the track bikes.

Will probably be swapping out a few bits after christmas.

Just won this:

There isn't much info, but it's local and seems to be fairly decent spec.

I'll find out tomorrow.

It wasn't exactly my plan to use 28c (front at least), the idea of a spare wheelset though might influence my choice, dunno. These are obvs not the wheels I'll use, it's just to test!!
I've seen everything at SJS, too expensive and not what i'm after, I found rigida anyway (pair) for the price of 1 jalco at SJS.

Clearly not, how many (real) track bikes use 28c tires? (grass track maybe). There's still a bit under 1cm left of clearance with the 700c x 28c...

My carlton (track 531c 1987ish) has a fair clearence, these are 23s

and yes, the rust needs sorting, just need to work out best option.

just missed a nice Orbit:

I use these:

You don't get the ETTL communication, so your limited to controlling via manual mode (but the 580 is pretty customisable). However they are radio controlled, so don't suffer from problems of the canon IR system. Pocket wizards are obviously better, but these are very cheap and work well.

You can get extra units for multiple flashes.

Dibs on this please:

SHIMANO 600 NEW/600SIS with 170mm cranks, 53/39T chainrings, 130mm BCD, some light crank rubs, all tapers and threads perfect £18

Dibs on no. 5 if you can post?

Thanks

Omega V's I think

I've got some too, i'll check the numbers.. and think about price.

Mr Crane, that looks wonderful, such a robust yet elegant frame. Very jealous.

How much do the 67's go for?

I've owened both the 50mm 1.4 and 1.8, don't really like the focal length on crop bodys (I leave the sigma 30mm 1.4 on most of the time)

The F1.8 is probably better at 1.8 that the 50mm, slightly dreamy look to the 1.4 when wide open to F1.8.

Build is nicer with the 1.4, but not really worth the extra money.

On the 18mm - argument, i'd call bullshit, theres nothing wrong with superzooms. I don't own any because I don't like shooting with zooms. But its horses for courses, and the 70-200's and 14-24's of this world are impractacle for proper photography; your definition of proper photography might vary from mine.

I've got a 531C frame, and it's spectacular. But thats only compared to standard 531, no idea what newer steels are like.

Anyone get any further with this? I've a performance 5000 frame (553) sitting downstairs if I want it. Seems fairly light.

Bump,

Would consider selling.

I'm interested, pending some more pics and details!

Yellow Turbo for White Turbo (or possibly black)

Postage to Nottingham needed.

Pictures (not very good ones)

Slight scuff pictured, other side is less so but generally fine.

Anyone interested?

Seeing as it's Gazelle day:

I've added drops, clipless pedals, and a new seatpost since. I should take a new photo.

Now with added Dura-Ace! (And Cinelli). Jah bless.

Amazing from the ground up to the top tube. Above that, not so keen.

Stick up a photo and you might get some offers.

That IS a sweet deal. I'm on it.
