what is the frame made of, is Reynolds 531, 653 or 753. Or perhaps Columbus tubing?

real class. Hope you find the seat comfortable, always loved the look of those myself but was sorely dissapointed :wink: so had to move on to a Turbo in my race days. Lastly please don't let some thieving git deprive you it.

whoops wrong folder, please can someone move it please.

Had bought a few frames (roadies) but firtst complet bike was an Alpinestars Al-Mega DX. from Cyclerama in Exeter. Frameset and Seatpost still going strong, DX parts wore out and replaced with XT and (first generation - I think) XTR finished with 3TTT bars and stem.

Anyone got a couple of rolls of White Benotto tape that they don't need? Thanks In advance.

Yet another gate, how tall do you think the guy's son was to have had this. I assuming that the bike was bought 20+ years ago when said son was young. By the height of the saddle, or lack of it, I'm guessing the lad needed to lean the bike over somewhat the get on, either that or he's got a...

Nah, don't want the frame, just was curious about the chrome question.

Hi, going to rebuild my red an black team raleigh, but am short of a late 80's super record front mech, the band on version. please send me a pm if you have one to sell. ta

What is the panels thoughts on chromed 753. I've seen on another forum and with expert advice from a Raleigh SBDU man that chroming a 753 is a no no. I notice a Mercian frame currently on ebay that has a fair amount of chrome. The 753 sticker on the forks looks like a vintage one, but the one...

I've got some old garish Sidi shoes that are still working fine, firstly used on Look but now on Time. No problems with heels on mine, but something to be potentially aware of.

Always like the look of a 979, but too many locally fell apart, but seems some have lasted the test of time. Leave out the white hoods is my opinion, white tape and white saddle like a rolls or a turbo would look good. however white saddles look a bit gash after a while, so a black rolls or...

Really bad news, you don't expect this of cycle races. Will be a sombre rest of the race. Reminds me in part of a race where I was doing race service, there was a crash on a fast decent and one rider just lay there motionless. I approached with a lump in my throat, but was mighty relieved to...

I'd say stick with clinchers if you are going to ride it, tubs were/are for racing or garage queens :wink:

Good luck with your sale, however you may want to look at what price Ribble charge for a pair of new ones.

no pictures of mine up yet, I've got a red and black team replica frame that I sold and bought back (so maybee the Dyna will come back someday!) also a dyna low profile and the Castorama all in various states of rebuild. Keep dithering about which of the road frames to build first, probably...

Hmm, I had a Dynatech in Castorama colours regret selling that so know how you feel. A mate of mine had the chrome one from new, but found it too heavy to race on and instead got a 753. I wish I'd had enough dosh back in those days and the forethought to have bought it off of him. By the...

You want to sell the chrome one? Let the bidding commence!

Welcome to the Castorama club, did you buy the one off of ebay a few days ago?

Sometimes ya just gotta ride one to appreciate a GT. Ride a well stocked Zaskar or better and it would be hard not to want to add one to the collection
