Swimming down under might add a little to the price but not much as I am in Denmark willing to ship to UK already.

BB is french. It's now fitted with a Shimano 35 x P1 this is included in the price.

A steel cyclocross frame size 58-59 is also worth a swap

I'll check later when I get home

I will take better pictures if you need but there has def not been any sawing of any kind. Normally the transition from seattube to the post is covered by a piece of rubber. Is that what you are referring to? I have not taken out the bb. I would guess it's english threading since it's reynolds tubing, but I have no idea.

It used to have a mix of Campy and Dura Ace. Campy hubs and brake levers DA gears and chainset.

I need UTILITY STUFF. Something like the Velo Orange Front rack, a vintage steel mtb frame or a bilenky frame. Or a a cyclo cross / touring style steel frame/bike for my girlfriend in size 50-51. Or perhaps an Eddy Merckx frame like this one
Also size 50-51.

Other than that I have no need for new bikes

I havn't had it built. It is probably as good as any bike for the early 80's. But it depends on what you consider stiff I guess. Just don't want you to think you'll get a bike that performance like a modern groupset is made for.

The rims are old road rims yes. They are used. In my flickr images I have tried to take pictures of the wear.
The tires are old punctured Clements 19c tubulars and are only there to protect the rims. The valves where not considered when mounting the tires.

EDIT: The wheelset is clincher even though I used tubs for protecting the rims

no it would look badass with campy super record 2012. But you wont buy this for stiffness I promise you. It was fitted with Dura Ace when I got it.

I was going to restore it, but I do not have the fundings to respray and suit it with a decent group. I might throw it on eBay...
Used to be my brothers but he has no idea today how he got it.
Glad you like it.

IF MY PRICES ARE TO LOW OR TO HIGH PLEASE PM ME

I am interested.

I need more exact dimension though. Top tube CTC? Seat tube CTC?
How long is the seat post?

Thank you.

I don't know a thing about brakes but I like that bike. Could tone it down with some gumwalls and adjust the bars (is that a cross thing?) but it's nice.

Crashed on it and ruined the red tape so will replace that with black once it arrives. But these are premium tires. Probably the most loved clinchers in cross so they wont go until Michelin starts doing them in green again ;-)

It is a 'cross thing.

Looks great. Is that a regular compact chainset?

I did Start out with a 44/39 T and 12-23 T on the casette but got an offer for 53/39 T Campagnolo Record carbon for 90 gbp so I didn't mind the extra gears. I only ride 39T in the forrest anyway.

And thank you.

what can you recommend?

I am new to cross but they work fine for me. A bit chatter from the fork though.

Empella Cyclocross 2004

I should be able to take pictures with the valves, chain and crank in the right positions by now (5 years of building bikes), but apparently I am retarded.
Anyways loving cross and my new bike.

Raleigh, Cross, Chris King, Ti. Wow

Just finished this-

Lovely bike. I vote for more campy (strada with an bashguard or Triple Strada with two bashguards) and also gumwalls. Maybe the Challenge Grifo clincher is it for you?

Edit:

Thx

Link?

than a fully round pipe? please explain how that would be? Unless its thicker there.

the toptube is not flattened to be stronger I believe. It is flattened to be more comfortable when carried. Right?
Anyway lovely frame.
