Interesting - there's a Henry Lloyd track bike on ebay at the moment that has been catching my eye: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/266413367146?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=ZZkccjcYQhG&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=CC93bylBT5i&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY I too didn't know anything about...

What a fantastic bike. I have an interest in early derailleur systems - although I suspect I'm a bit younger than @keithglos I do ride both Campagnolo Cambio Corsa and Paris Roubaix bikes. Actually I rode a very early Cambio Corsa bike (either late 1930s or very early 1940s) at the Tom Simpson...

Hi DuncM. I can confirm the bike now resides in my collection. Sorry, for that but I'm more than happy to share information.. Paul Devizes, UK

Hi, I have a Peugeot Routier to sell. This is the 501 main tubes and fork bladed beauty that caught my eye back then and was my first `lightweight' bike. Over the last 4 or 5 years I've bought several in order to build my perfect brochure spec bike, but actually I found that there were some...

Hi, I've just put up a link to my bikes - I've recreated a Panasonic from an '84 Competition frame. https://www.flickr.com/photos/40388723@ ... 1499714960 Your frame looks similar to mine - with rear brake cable routing over the top tube, so I'd be surprised if it was originally delivered as a...

Folks, I've been trying to audit the bikes - I'm most of the way there with the classics, but it's surprising how the number of bikes and their specs seems to be constantly on the move! https://www.flickr.com/photos/40388723@N06/albums It's primarily Italian / Campagnolo, but there's a some...

Thanks for taking a look, I’ve found a few things that need a new home. Pictures of all items in the for sale album here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/40388723@ ... 0065324014 Please let me know if I can help with any more information. Shipping prices are for UK mainland – any other...

Re: Argos have recently refinished this No1. Spear Point frame number 3083 (1958?) for me. I was alerted to it locally, made a deal and sold off the modern parts. I promised the previous owner I'd return it to its former glory.. which turned out not to be an inexpensive process. However - it...

Re: And Athena looked very similar to Victory, but was different... But a nice collection none-the-less. Paul Devizes, Wiltshire

Sorry - late to the thread. This is the 1978 ish UK brochure shot of the Routier - lack of brake cable guides but above chainstay rear derailleur cable routing. I'd have yours as '79 or '80.. Looks original (apart from the saddle!). Paul Devizes, Wiltshire, UK

Hi, Sigma were launched in 1987 - there was a big shake up of the range in '87. Record and Victory were replaced by Sigma (4 varieties), Delta (3 varieties), Omega (2 varieties), Epsilon (2) and Lambda (2). The published weights didn't vary much across any of the rims, options generally were...

Olmo Oria TC 0.8 tubed frame and forks dating from around 1989 / 1990. I purchased this in December for a project, but sadly (as I really like the way it looks) it wasn't accurately described by the seller and it just below my minimum size. So I'l attempt to describe it more fully! Seat tube...

I'd say 1980. I've found a US Bianchi sales brochure dated 1980 showing the Super Corsa and Super Leggera with allen key fixings. The '79 team bikes as used in the Giro had nuts.. Paul Devizes, Wiltshire

Re: Doh! it's only 15 mins dow the road in Marlborough. I'd better add it to my watch list. Erm.. are you the seller? Thanks! Paul Wiltshire

Hi, condition is everything! I have a couple of Peugeots of this era - 1988 753 and 531 Pro and they are OK. I believe the frames that ANC Halfords rode the Tour de France on were virtually standard (they had race number braze ons though). So they may not be the best 753 frames ever made, but...
