Superb. Love the Mavic kit..that chainset is 🔥

Just looked on the 1984 Freewheel catalog where it’s listed as £44.50!! In 1984!! … when a Campag super record mech was £42

Just reading up on the Suntour Ultra 6 freewheel..6 cogs in the space of 5 with narrow chain. The bike currently has a five speed set up but I have a nos ultra 6 chain so may look out for the correct freewheel…only found silly US prices on eBay so far. Supposed to have a 13-32 spread which is...

Having a rummage through my Uncles old bike catalogs I found this torn out between one of the pages. I think this is what it is. The spec matches up almost exactly ..including the NOS Miche pedals and Galli toe clips I found. Shifters are Campag on his rather than Suntour power shifters ..but I...

Found this one on eBay ..I am not sure it will ever get that price (£200) but they seem quite rare https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/186349177220?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=IyLWMR3yRWO&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=_6jTwpROShi&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

So, I finally picked up the Mercian yesterday and I am very impressed with it. Last 2 digits of the frame number are 81 so assume that is the year it was built? It’s not been used for a while so needs a really good clean and light restoration My Uncle had a shed full of cycle parts so I may...

Don’t you just love it when you stumble across something ace..Freewheel catalogs from 1980 to 1987. Happy to scan in anything of interest

Here’s a nice and quite rare thing.. NOS Sachs Huret Duopar Titanium Rear Mech. Any idea on value ?

Replied

Now relisted at £250

Fantastic bike. Word of caution on using GSP on eBay (now international shipping). They have quite strict max size guidelines (eg 120cm length). I also know of at least two occurrences where bikes have been ‘lost’ due to being in too big boxes. ie seller keeps money, buyer gets refund but bike...

Boing 😁

Many thanks for that. I won’t get to see it for another month or so but will post up some pics when I do

Thank you 👍
