Ok guys and gals

Paint work is in very good condition with a few rub marks by the rear wheel on the frame and very few chips on the top tube and from cable rub. Previous owner has tried a little touch up on the green paint which doesn't match that well but you don't really notice it but it has been pictured for you to see.

photo added

It's either a 54 or 56. Ill confirm once I gather the photos together and get the laptop flashed up.

Guys and gals. Thanks very much for the advice. I now have a relivent place to place posts like this and also a starting block on price. I have had a few people inbox me with interest so I'm gonna to fire more details and pictures there way and if nothing comes of it ill add everything here. I might even add one photo here so u can see how lovely she is.

Thanks

James.

Oh and Tibbly the quote you added was useful and informative so thank you for that.

Ok ok. I'd like to clear a couple of things up.

This is the first time I've posted on here since the re-vamp of lfgss so am slighty unsure where to advertise for advice.

I've not advertised 'for sale' but 'offered', I was hoping this would cover the base of gauging interest.

Before the re-vamp I posted such threads to see if it was worth selling un-needed parts and didn't receive any of the advice I've received here, I've been pointed in the right direction and gathered the relievent information with no problems.

With regard to my wedding thanks for ur concern but as your probably aware I don't really care what u think, I was merely stating that the sale was forced and giving a reason why.

Well I think that covers all points that u helpful two guys have bought to my attention. Enjoy the new year and a pleasant 2013.

Thanks

James.

Thanks very much for informing me all the obvious but when asking people for advice and interest ill then gauge weather it's worth taking the photos and writing a full post. If someone is interested or got advice on price then all they have to do is say so. In all honesty I don't really wish to sell eddy but when you've got a pending wedding that needs paying for alittle extra cash/brownie points wouldn't go amiss.

Really?? So gauging to see if anyone's interested isn't aloud then?

Am hoovering on the edge with regard to selling my recent vintage build

I'm not going to go massively into depth now as I just want to gauge interest really at the mo.

It's a 1989 eddy merckx seven eleven slx frame fitted with a 1996 campagnolo chorus groupset and shamal wheelset.

All is in lovely condition with a few marks/chips on the frame. Really nice condition bike and was a pleasure to build.

Not really sure if I decide to sell how much to ask. Any help/interest would be great.

Thanks

James

Would u sell the skewers separately?

This crossed my mind as well, but for now if someone wants the hubs and not the skewers give me a shout as ill be all over them. Final part of my build needs these skewers.

Would u sell the campag skewers on there own?

Help me guys and gals, this is the last part to complete the dream machine.

How much is not cheap? Anyone else got anything?

Second dibs skewers.

Morning bump

Thanks for getting in touch, it was abit of a lazy post on my behalf, i should have stated which pair i was after.
Ive had a look around and the ones i like are the ones on this shamal.

If anyones got any in vgc then give me a shout.

Cheers

James

Its always the way, ive got a front already but didnt think anyone would be willing to sell a single rear. Ill pass on irs if thats cool. Thanks all the same, but if anyone has a vgc condition rear they need rid, im your man.

Is there anyone that can help?

After a pair of very good condition Campag wheel skewers. Let me know what u got guys and gals.

Im just putting the feelers out for a v.good/excellent condition dura ace 7400 groupset for my eddy merckx 1989 seven eleven. I originally planned to build a 1996 bianchi which i was kitting out with campagnolo chorus groupset, at the last minute i changed my mind and bought an eddy. Ive built it up and am now thinking about getting it period correct.

Anyone able to help or point me in the right direction would be great. If something pops up the my whole campag groupset will be for sale and maybe my shamals if i find the correct wheels but thats something to look at later.

Thanks

Bump for a lovely bike.
