That is very cool, in an understated way...

That is super sweet! I'd keep the gold bars, with the silver stem it compliments the silver/gold combination on the forks.

I was about to post thinking, I bet he hasn't mentioned the Diamondback Apex (I had one), oh well....

It was an incredible bike to ride, I raced it quite a bit, and was always blown away by how fast and responsive it was. I also liked to take it down the BMX track near Herne Hill velodrome, it was on top of a hill and when it was windy I always felt the bike would get blown away on the jumps, it...

When I bought the complete bike from Bromley Bike Co, it had the following parts: Cook Bros RSR cranks Shimano XT BB (I changed this for a Syncros Ti) Ringlé hubs, QR's, seatpost, handlebar stem Maybe an Answer prolite handlebar, I changed this to a Syncros Gravity Research pipe dream front...

Thats awesome, what a great job, congratulations!

That's very nice and in great condition, I have a 1973 model that is 55cm ctc but with lots more scratches!

This will stir a bit of controversy..... I have what I am convinced was Francesco Moser's personal track frame from when he first came to Mexico and tested the Velodromo Olimpico, the frame is 56.5cm ctc set tube and 57cm ctc, if your name was Ugo de Rosa, and you were going to build a frame for...

I have to admit I thought it could go up to $1,300.... that´s optimism for you!

Wow, paid already, thanks Tony! Maybe better I don´t comment on the money part regarding the build.....

Congratulations Tintin, the great thing is I´m sure you´ll do a great job building it, I look forward to seeing the progress!

1651 views, 197 watchers, and 18 bids, that´s a record for me.... I once sold a Campagnolo boxed 50th Anniversary groupset, I wonder if this will go higher....

Big thanks out to both John and Mark!

Just got this reply from Mark Pearce at Evolution Imports / Bromley Bike Co: Alex Just posted a comment on retro bike Mark Pearce - Sales Evolution Imports Problem is, I don't see any comment, keep posted!

Funny thing is, I met Dave stacking shelves at Sainsbury's in Bromley, I left my bike inside the store and jumping on it I realised he had flipped all the quick releases,he had been telling me while we were stuffing toxic things in the cold watchumallits that he had got 2nd place on mammoth...

It was originally built up with a RS Mag SL Ti, which worked surprisingly well, but rather flexy. I only had the BOI fork built to get the frame out and about again, due to the 1" steerer tube.

I am sure it was suspension corrected, if I remember correctly one of the mags; MBUK perhaps; tested the very same bike, and made a big thing of the ccombination of sus corrected geometry with the stiff front triangle making for great handling. Thanks guys for your input, I was maybe a bit hasty...

Bugger, the serial number I registered on fatcogs was wrong, due to too much paint, turns out it ios 741Y3ML, so it would appear with out a shadow of doubt it is ML, just need Mark or Dave to confirm it is "the real thing"...... which will be interesting, because it was sold to me as his bike.

Checking the measurements, the seat-tube is definitely 18" ctc, the toptube seems to be exactly 22 5/8" ctc, and the head-tube is 106mm long.
