Thanks for making me aware of this brand- a quick search on the web shows there's a few for sale currently!

I found moving to 25mm makes a bike a little more vague when steering, but I was happy with that compromise for the extra comfort afforded. I will give 28mm a go when I next tyre change! Noted ref frame pinch points...

Week 6. 1976-77 Sedazzari Specialissima (Arabesque). Columbus steel frame and fork feature chromed details including rear stay ‘ears’, Arabesque lugs and S-engraved fork crowns. Hand-made twin loop eyelets to guide rear brake cable, rear chainstay bridge (V -shaped) and twin cutouts to bottom...

Nice collection- particularly the Tommasini! I can see you're a fan of 28mm wide tyres. How do you find the handling on the traditional narrower rims? I've changed up from 23 to 25/26mm, but not convinced it's a good idea to now go further!

@MartinB123 Nice Rourkie! R653 tubing?

@LondonClassic Thanks for your reply. I'm going to hold on a decision as I am seeking more of a race-level tyre, if offered.

As most buyers collect in person only, cash transactions are the norm so buyer checks the goods at the time, and seller thoroughly checks each and every note (yes there are fakes of every denomination in circulation)-be prepared if it's a high value item -this takes time and let the buyer know...

@Woz Thanks for sharing your recollections. Maybe I've missed it, but at some point I think it would be great if a museum in Stoke on Trent created an exhibit around the City's contribution to cycling before it's forgotten. I guess it's not quite up there with the Staffordshire Hoard...

Good spot!

I buy and sell on FB Marketplace now and then, and I pretty much adopt the same practices as @jonnyboy666 . I also ask buyers where they are coming from as it gives me an idea on realistically will they travel that distance for the item, and it makes sure they understand how far they are...

Some seriously large climbing gears on that rear wheel!

Week 4. 1984 Reynolds 753 Moducel Team frame, (Brian Rourke). Raced 1985. Built for pro rider Sid Barras by Paul “Washo” Washington (working for Brian Rourke) and later renovated by Brian’s son, Jason on my request. Characteristic Rourke wrapover seat stay, through top tube cable run and...

Looking for a single or pair of tubular tyres 700c/ 25-28" , 23-25mm width. Must be in a rideable condition, and with tan, gum or para coloured walls. Race-level vs training level preferred, but all considered. Thank you.

I'm quite liking the backdrop too!

Not my area of expertise, but might appeal to this audience and asking £550...

One man's rust is another man's dust, and maybe patina!
