So this was about to go on eBay as part of the big cull
(see An Intervention..Long over due..)
when Our Jimmy popped his head around our home office door (we're all working from home now) 'what do you think you're doing with that?' the cheeky wee scamp exclaims.... 'it's on its way lad' I replied, reminding him that he was part of the Intervention gang that forced this action in the first place...
When he asked what we could do to stop the sale of the Super, I said; well we would need to choose something else.. easy said he, As we're planning on building a Colnago as my main road bike, why can't I build this up with the mudguards and rack from the Cavalier, a few choice bits from the spares/to sell box and have it as a winter ride/tourer, giving up the Concorde Astore in its stead?
Ok, fair enough.... I said. I know where the bits are that I want he says leaving the room. I bet you do I thought :roll:
And suprise suprise, I popped in the workshop to see what mischief he was up to...list so far is a mix of 60's, 70's, 80's & 90's predominantly Campy of course!
