Sure Jimmy. Could you give me a day or two to dig them out mate please as a bit ill at the mo. ..UK based, yeah

I’ve some nice Hope available - NOS/boxed Fatso front and excellent condition Ti Glide rear, both silver/Ti. Any good?

Found woolly pluto’s. I think I considered buying also, but it was just too yellow! https://www.retrobike.co.uk/attachments/img_4630-webp.488108/

Oh right, I hadn't realised that was the one you wanted before. I remember the yellow one! There was a chap on here with a yellow one as well (although it could've been the same mech). Member ‘woolly pluto’ maybe? That was the last one I've seen.

It’s not the weird first style one you’re after is it? That’s a really rare mech - I’d love one of them! https://www.disraeligears.co.uk/site/tiso_venda_601_1st_style_derailleur.html

You don’t see many of those early Precision Billet mech’s NOS

I think most of us have been there sadly mate 🙁. Scumbags!

Even though I stuck with Campag I ditched the rear hubs in order to use Hyperglide cassettes, which worked better once you’d sorted the indexing. (Better cassette availability as well)

Later version Euclid and Centaur came with freehubs Tim. Just the first year or so were freewheel

Pretty sure it’s full Centaur… This seller is normally so expensive. But he gave me a huge discount on a Passoni bar/stem a few years ago (like 40% off). Best packaging I’ve ever received too, FWIW

Amazing art and outstanding bicycles @Botty Kayer. Wow.

You’ve spoiled my day with that information. Probably psychologically damaged by having a crap derailleur named after him! (From Disraeli Gears) : “It bore the name 'Valentino', a name shared by both Tullio Campagnolo’s father and son. The legend is that Tullio saw the Valentino range as a...

I think he was implying they are similarly attractive 😉 Thanks for the info on C4 @joglo. They’re interesting frames for sure and a lot nicer than the eBay example.
