You could make your money back on the cranks alone.

^that little downtube-chainstays bracketthing is pretty cool, haven't seen that before
Sun made some pretty wild stuff:
-
Bargain: Record headset is pushing £50.
-
You're taking the piss right?
-
Mixed Campag 9 speed group: £130, no bids, less than 2 hours to go.

You didn't post an opinion: it was a criticism of the advice previously offered (to buy 2nd hand).
Chain's and cassettes are consumable items, so whether you buy a 2nd hand bike or a new one, they will need replacement.
Why you think a used bike will probably need a new crank is anyone's guess.
Perhaps the advice to buy 2nd hand needs clarification: "don't buy a fucked 2nd hand bike".

...I'm sure he's sorted himself out by now...
Well it has been two years since the OP, so probably yeah.
...Unfortunately, I don't know enough to be of any help.
On the basis of this, your one and only post since joining two years ago, I would have to agree.

Looks nice. The number hanger on the top tube, suggests that this frame was built for racing: should be an exciting ride!

Assuming there is nothing written on the brake levers, the Ergo shifters are 8 speed and either '93 Veloce or '94 Athena/Veloce/Stratos. From '95 the groupset was written on components and from 9 speed on, the number of gears was also noted.
I don't know that all four of these levers were the same model, but your photos and my catalogue scans aren't good enough to tell the difference.
The cranks aren't Record, which had the 5th spider arm hidden behind the crank arm. Like HB says, they look like 1st gen. Chorus, on account of the way the lip rises up around the crank bolt.

Ha! My resolve I guess.
Glad I checked the wind (+20km/h) and rode out into it, with it behind me homewards.
Apart from getting snow in my boots and ending up with an arse like a fishmonger's slab, I was toasty.
Scotch egg and a large Rum & ginger worked wonders.

Out: 20km/h headwind, choc gateaux, double Espresso.
In: 20km/h tailwind, Scotch egg, large Rum & ginger.

Orbit America
Scilly (and chilly) Suffolk

I didn't realise you could get such a thing?
Exa-Drive was common to all groups in 1995, according to the catalogue; but Record and Chorus didn't go 9 speed until 1997.

Could be; or even a "6"!
What's the internal diameter of the crown race? That would point you in the general direction.

I can see a "g" in the logo...

Last time he was home on leave we went out for a ride: quite chuffed that I was staying in the saddle on hills, when he was having to stand up.
Until a couple of hours in and I realised he was riding fixed...

Better annoyed, than hospitalised.

Women's tights: great insulation without the bulk or restriction of leggings.
Got the tip from my Cousin, who's a Royal Marine in the Arctic warfare cadre.

Good example? http://bit.ly/WJZZj1
Slightly better price for you. Spend another £9 on bits and it'll only cost you £21!
I bought one recently and can confirm it is ISO.

Ease up, That was posted purely in response to the comments on rattle can fadez, further up the page :)
Come off it Chris, I didn't rip it to pieces: I didn't actually make any comment on the quality of the spray job, just a statement of my preferences.
I mean butterflies, really?

Fits my large bonce.
Lfgss by Casa-Steve, on FlickrDo the caps also amplify brain waves, or could you cause bikes to levitate before?
Keeping my fingers crossed for x-ray vision and something along the lines of "water into wine"...
