Theres a guy selling a whole load of campy and mavic discs on eBay atm for daft prices. Nice wheels but seem very overpriced

Saffron Frameworks are based in London, he makes some pretty awesome looking bikes, lots of attention to detail

Thanks! This is a 700 front actually ;-).. I've got other plans for your wheel but that'll be a while off, seem to have too many projects on the go

Hahaha good spot thanks!

Cheers guys :)

Hi guys,

This is my first projects thread so you'll have to bear with me! I've read a lot of others current projects so I figured I should write one for my own project, all be it a strange one.

I bought the frame before Christmas and it sat about looking a bit sorry for its self for quite a while until recently when I decided to build it up as a track bike (shoot me I know!).. It made sense because I was only really a BB and seat post away from getting it rideable and it seemed better than it sitting about waiting for its eventual road build.

The frame was actually new when I got it and came in its original brown paper wrapping. It still had paint in the seat tube an bb threads with no markings from wheels on the dropouts! It hasn't been stored in the most careful way though so has its fair share of scratches like many other Takhions.

I'll update with a full parts list at some point but it should be pretty self explanatory!

Let me know what you guys think! Oh and bear in mind it will eventually get a road build, so no fixie conversion hate please as it'll get the build it deserves in due time :)

Cheers

Cheers, would have snatched that if I'd known. I'd have a full set of front ghiblis if I can find a 24".. one day eh

Would have loved a 24" Ghibli also. A link to the sold eBay page would be interesting if you still have it.

@josbanse What about a 700c front Ghibli then ;)?

More Campag disc radness on ebay..

Khamsin 650c front
Ghibli 650c front
Uber rare Scirocco 650c front

That new 26" Ghibli went for £365 but only posted to Germany so that may be why. £600 is pretty steep, could understand a higher price if it was a pair of ghiblis or khamsins or something to save people looking for the other one. Silvas sound nice, don't see them often, they're heavy though aren't they? No idea what they're worth but doesn't seem too bad I wouldn't have thought

Nice find, should be interesting to see if/what they go for.

Khamsin on ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Campagnolo-Khamsin-rear-disc-wheel-28-crono-lo-pro-pursuit-time-trail-tt-/111672809821?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item1a0037d95d

lister says he has a 26" front ghibli pista too if you ask, might be worth a look for those looking for one

Yea got a 700c Ghibli pair from Russia (got the fluidisks from there too), front had a 4" tear in it but still runs straight, but I don't fancy using it myself so its hanging on the wall. Rear one is a proper track disc but has some problems at the rim join where someones had a go at it with pliers or something to stop the joint moving apart presumably. The wheels perfectly true though with no tears so for a decent price I wasn't going to turn it down, it doesn't look too bad really and only shows on non drive side. Neither had axles though so I had to buy a pair of hubs and strip them down. Its worth noting that rear track Ghiblis with the shield logo on seem much more expensive, most I've seen are nearer the £700 mark :/, take ages to find too

You did well with the zipps, some listings are a right mess which does help you get a good price but means you can't find them haha. Zeus toolbox sounds cool!

Thats a good idea, possibly wishful thinking on the campy disc but who knows, good luck! I got my 650c ghibli used off here last summer for £265 posted I think it was, seemed fair to me. I remember seeing the zip 3000 wheels on eBay named as 'carbon wheels' or something daft, think you won them if I'm not mistaken didn't you?

Good work with the thread title btw

Fluidisks and Ghiblis are lovely wheels but as BigH says, they're tricky to find especially in good condition and as original track wheels

Found this NOS 26" front Campag Ghibli on eBay, worth following to see what it goes for whilst we are on about disc prices.

A road rear Ghibli converted to track on the bay
And a Khamsin rear for good measure also on eBay (seller thinks its a Ghibli...)

This should so become the general disc wheel radness thread...

Thanks, took a fair bit of finding but very pleased with them, the Fluidisks are supposedly NOS but they've got storage marks. Rear campag disc was actually used by Viatcheslav Ekimov in the late 80s and has won a few national races I'm told!

Its a 650c alright! Bought them as a pair from Russia with love.. Those FIR discs look ace, I've always fancied some, your HHSTTB build is looking sweet btw!

Theres another Ghibli on the wall just out of shot haha :). Its got a tear on one side so its not really rideable so perfect for the wall!

A nice set of Fluidisks came with the postman this morning... Think I may be a wheel hoarder

Silver, not too fussy about the length, maybe 110mm if you have more than one? Cheers

Bump.

As the title says, Im looking for a Cinelli 2A stem in good condition. It can be any length but needs to be 26.4mm clamp

Please PM me if you've got anything!

Cheers
Matt

Bump, rear track nuts sorted. Still looking for Italian thread 13T Campy cog and Cinelli 2A stem

Thanks, yea I'm aware they aren't the easiest to find, its for a build I'm still gathering parts for though so its not like I urgently need it

Thanks but its the steep angle the 2a has I'm after, thanks though!

Locknuts sorted, thanks Allister!

Still looking for the rest.
Cheers
