This is what happens when you add dirt drops to an 80s frame that is probably a little too small even with just flat bars and then when you add dirt drops you end up with a bonkers high stem or crazy quill extension... https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/scabby-ritchey-ultra-dirt-drop-build.446415/

More Campagnolo @Mickael49 ??? 😍😎 Very nice machine in amazing condition!

Nice build @al ! 😍:cool: Some great phrasification going on: de-Shimanofication Betterer 👌 Keep up the great build and phrasing! :)

No rush to sell, item gets automatically listed at the end of the 7 or 10 days. Maybe the seller might adjust price after a while. They'll know there is interest from RBers messaging them asking for a "deal". This seller looks like a semi-professional seller with quite a few retro items and...

100% you can go with a bigger frame than you normally would. Depends on what your intended use of the bike is. Lots of 80s bikes are pretty small/not too stretched out so you can go bigger to get a more upright position to compensate for riding on dirt drops. I'm 5' 7" and happily ride a 1988...

Have you bought it yet? ;)

Nice write up. Love perving at bikes being fixed and all the associated tools/equipment. I wonder how many cyclist actually own a JIS screwdriver or actually know they exist vs. Phillips?! I'm assuming you qualified with flying colours?

BIG money! HOWEVER, proper crap photos and description, very lazy 🤷‍♂️ NOT worth it IMHO, especially as it’s frame only.

Ladybird kit too?!* Very cool! :cool: I love Dura Ace 7400! 👌

Very fitting. Is the use of the credit card form part of the physio regime?!

I think if you asked @trailwright he'd say the overall visual appearance is likened to a Donkisknob! 🤣

Already planning what you're going to do with it then?!* 😜🤣 Have you gone and had a look at it yet? Or is that just too dangerous! ;)

I know what you mean! Can be tidied up quite easily: Fork colour clashes with the frame, but I'd swap it to fully rigid New stem and grips Change saddle Change bottle cage tidy up cable runs Single headset spacer remove bar ends Swap to tanwall tyres Hmmm... that in itself is quite a pricey...

Amazing restoration. I remember looking at this a few years back and never commented and back here having seen you comment about the Roberts cyclocross bike and spotting this in your signature. Perfecto! 👌😍 :cool:

That's great to know, will certainly check them out as I'm not impressed with the fit of the Park. Always happy buying more tools!!! ;)

I have Park Headset spanners and have to say they don't fit great on Shimano 1" headsets. I actually use a thin bit of shim to improve the fit to prevent marking/rounding-off the headset. @minor_LEGEND how have you found the fit of the Pedros and what headsets have you used them on?

Very cool and very French! 🇫🇷 What headset us that? The front brake cable looks very close to the headset/headtube as it exits the roller! Might just be the camera angle. Great colour and loving the all the Mavic components! 👌 :cool: 😍

Good to hear you're keeping them safe!!! 🤣

O M G ! ! ! I'm in love with both the brother and sister. 🥰 What does that make me??? 🤣 🤣 🤣 I must say I do fancy the sister a bit more with her U brakes and fancy seatpost. 🤩😍🤩 What did you say your address was again??? 😜

Message them. LOTS of overpriced Campag stuff on eBay that just doesn't sell. See if they'll split or indeed buy and sell the other one. The pain of paying that much will fade over time!
