After doing our own Eroica in May, which I thoroughly enjoyed, I am definitely going to try fitting a European one in over the next few years.

Hi folks,

 

I have recently acquired a Peugeot Free Radical 60...could be about 10-15 years old..?

 

I'm trying to find out some more about this bike but can only find reference to FR 10,20 and 40's on the internet...

 

Can anyone point me to a link where I can learn more...?

Hi guys, my Bianchi build. Thanks to Loose Cog for the frame and Kamaalo for most of the parts!

It is a thing of beauty.

Have you, or LC, any idea what model Bianchi the frame is????

A friend has a Specialised Epic, which he wants to sell. 

 

I haven't seen the bike, just this photo. But, I'm assuming it's a 93/94/95 ali lugged carbon frame. Looks like 105, the crank anyway and about 55/56 cm size.

 

Anyone interested?

 

I'm happy to go and see it and get more pics, if anyone wants.

 

What do you think a fair price would be????

Don't know how I am going to sleep tonight. Santa is coming earlier than I was anticipating!

Wow, I am still dreaming about finding that elusive Cinelli. Good find LC, very exciting.

Thanks. I have had the frame for about two years already and finally got around to having it restored. Can't wait to run my hands over her.

She turned out nice Steve. You use vinyl decals or water transfer and where did you get them from?

[Loose cog]

They very thin vinyl from Greg Softley in Australia.
