Bump for a real bargain!

Open Corsa tyres sold.
Yksion Pro tyres withdrawn from sale.
Aksiums still for sale £90.

Aksiums plus used 25mm Paselas for £100. Now SOLD

I'm looking to swap my nearly new Sugino 75 cranks and BB (175mm), for Campagnolo pista cranks of a similar length.

PM me with any offers, thanks.

BUMP for a really good seller, and some very reasonable prices.

Interested in the saddle if split.

Thanks.
Nice build you've got there! The black components really help to bring out the colours of the frame.

PM'd

Haha, yeah!
Not sure if it belongs here, or anti.... or both?

?

I got those details from the guy that I bought it off...

I think that he asked for info on another forum, and they came back with:
The frame is from 86/87 and its an AA-super champion mondial.
Tubing is 531(C?).
He also said 'When they repainted the frame they probably changed the construction as well.' Which seems a bit cryptic.

I think you're right re: the panto'd seat lug: http://jvs.webklik.nl/page/gazelle

I'm going to look into things a bit more.. but if it is a custom build / team frame, and/or had extra work done, then I imagine that it'll be a tricky one to work out.

Ah ok, I was hoping that a red accent on the forks might complement the SRAM Red bits and Syntace finishing kit... Hmmm.

Probably safer to stick with plain black forks, and avoid it getting too 'busy'.

Ah ok. It's a shame that it was too big. It's replacement (the BMC) looks great by the way.

A few bikes that have inspired this build:

Noted. +1 for carbon fork.
Any thoughts on what colour to get it re-sprayed?

I was thinking black, with a red band on one of the fork legs.....

You bought the GT Edge frame, right?
The frame & forks did look great together...

Do I remember reading that you were in an accident? was the frame written off?

No, my circumstances changed and the TdF shifters got sold-on.
The frame came close to being sold too :(

Your neo-retro Gazelle was actually one of a few builds that gave me inspiration for this! I'm looking forward to seeing how it looks with the Hope x Archetypes...

Haha!
I'm thinking that if I were to go the threadless route, 1" Columbus Minimal's might look a bit more fitting... Hmm...

Ah! Yeah, it took me a while to actually get my hands on the frame... and unfortunately its been in the attic for ~2 years since.
I think I remember you posting this mock-up in the CP thread when I was considering a 7700 chainset with modern groupset combo.

Or alternatively... original forks and black Cinelli 1A quill stem.

Now to the controversial part....
I'm contemplating going for carbon forks and a threadless steerer etc.
I have these carbon forks (courtesy of @Ecobeard - thanks!) that will get a re-spray if they are used on this build.
