Is the chain tensioner still available, if it is, can you PM me payment details, thanks.

I'll try again, I like this one much more.

But this thread seems to be where all the ugly bikes are posted.

No idea if this is a repost (but as it's Christmas themed).

Have you decided on a price for the Raleigh Chesini?
Are you going to advertise it here?

First sentence wasn't at all upsetting, but how can anyone not want a Red Raleigh track bike. (Cue picture of random Red Raleigh).

Thanks, I'll drop Wiggle a line asking them to confirm they're compact and if they are will get some.

Thanks, I didn't know they were compact bars.
Is there 2 versions or are all Deda Piega's the same.

I'm after compact/ergo bars with a 26mm clamp.
Obvious examples are Soma Highway One or Bontrager SSR VR-C 26.0mm.
Wider is better, don't mind if Silver or Black.
I'm in Stockport so will probably require postage.
If you have anything available can you drop me a PM with a price/pic.
Thanks.

Here's a picture (from flickr) of Jan Raas road bike from 1978, looks the same size (on yahoo you said you were told yours was too big for Jan Raas.)

The SB prefix was for 'normal' SBDU frames the ones that could be bought by the public.
The actual bikes ridden by the sponsored riders didn't have SB numbers they just had the riders initials, the year and which number bike it was for that year.
A few years later there were a few unusual frames which had both SB numbers and a set of riders initials but that seems to have been a one off in the mid 80's.
If you do decide to sell drop me a PM with the price (though I expect it will be beyond my means).

I can't see any pictures but presumably it's the yellow/blue one on Pedal Room.
I think you identified it correctly on there, the 178 means first bike of 1978.
JR is the riders initials which would be Jan Raas.
No reason to think it wouldn't have been built by Jan le Grand because Jan Raas was the star rider and the Teams bikes were his responsibility.

Now for sale elsewhere.

How much Columbus?
I've a frame for sale that has Columbus drop outs (rest is 531C).
Branded as a Rixon, built by Neil Shankland of Atlantic Boulevard.

Scroll down to bottom of list and the Flickr link.

Is the OLN 126mm or 130mm?
Have you got a picture of the freehub splines or the back of the cassette?
Trying to understand if it is Uniglide or Uniglide compatible.

There's a full bike on eBay and at a realistic price.

My all time favourite, unfortunately no closer to owning one now than I was 30 years ago.

New:

Old: Just across the road from the 24 hour ASDA on Ashton New Road (can't think of any other land marks round there).

It's a scam of some sort, he's copied old eBay ads.

One last try.

It's really nice but frameset only.
Wonder if the previous non payer thought they were bidding on the full bike (posting pictures of the full bike and listing under Bikes is really annoying).
