I mean an early Chorus headset :oops:

753's with a good set of wheels are brill to ride, I could never afford one as a schoolboy and junior racer back in the day, so picked one up a couple of years back. It's like all your effort is chanelled into making the bike go forward, which is just what you want really :lol: As for...

I spotted this one the other night, the second to last picture gave me a fright, thought I'd be hit by some virus that had redirected me to another site!

hmm, seems it's also for sale

clean them up and you could call them almost mint :)

so now you have 3 posts, you shoul be able to show the url. stick a thread in the wanted section and see if you get any takers or advice.

I looked at the picture when first advertiised and assumed it was a 24inch or something as the head tube and distance from the rear brake bridge to the binder bolt look way bigger than any of the 57cm frames I've owned. So that's some distortion on the camera.

a good start would be the url for your item, also without knowing, if your's was pickup only, it tends to put a lot of potential buyers off.

leave the one on the thumbshifters with a few threads either way. Then adjust rear meach correctly. means you can subltly adjust the gears on the hoof if needed.

no wonder the grandfromage gets so lucky if bikes like this just do to the tip to die.

is this a cunning device to lower the rear brake http://www.flickr.com/photos/45080961@N ... /lightbox/

ah, a fine looking bike, were always my 2nd favourites after my beloved Raleighs back in day. I hope he gets his money, but if the £550 offer from fred is upped and accepted I'd love to come around and see it(being a devon lad, so hopefully not far away)

take a look at ebay for the campag brakes, don't know the difference between super record and nuovo record, but whatever they are, they are worth a fair few quid, usually above the £50 margin of the last few weeks. the broken rubber washer part are £3 on ebay so easy to replace. hope it helps.

be worth something to somebody, looks like there's a 531 sticker on the forks at least.

It will depend a lot on how they were stored. I've had some keep in a pretty constant temperature away from sun light and they are okay, but have had others not so well stored which have cracked and disintergrated around the wire. Depends on how much they are inc postage, as to whether they...

nice looking bike, still can't believe your constant luck at finding gems like this for little or no money. I only see tat at my local recycling centre or car boots :(

A frame from the 60s/70s will rule out 653 as it was a late 80's offering, while you may get an early 753, it will be 126mm width and it's not advisable to try and splay the rear stays to 130mm on 753. Therefore 531 will be your friend as it can cope with cold setting the rear stays, or just...

there's an 853 frame on the bay at the mo, looks like it has eyes incorporated into the rear drop outs

hope you didnt spend all your budget on it! also looks quite a small frame considering you said you're about 6ft in other posts. Enjoy it though all the same.

you might have some more luck with an 853 frameset as prev mentioned the release of this tubeset coincided with faster audax frames, but expect to pay a higher premium. An older frame like 531 will still make a great training bike, be carefull though you may begin to prefer the feel of steel...
