HeyYou Posted October 10, 2016 Posted October 10, 2016 Had a busy couple of weeks. Thought I'd share some of it with you. Here are 2 of my completed projects, another 2 almost done, wait for a week or so. My COLNAGO TITANIO (actually a Bititan, but the early ones, 93 to about 95, were called just TITANIO). A mixture between Chorus and CDA. Badsam, Loose cog, Underachiever and 4 others 7
HeyYou Posted October 10, 2016 Posted October 10, 2016 (edited) A Bianchi. No idea of the model, I think it's a mid 80s Mondiale. I bought the frame restored, so it's very difficult to say, but it's beautiful none the less. A mixture of Record and 1987 Cobalto brakes. I think she's lovely and my daughter agrees!

DJR Posted October 10, 2016 Posted October 10, 2016 (edited) Fantastic Hey You! Glad to see you finished the Titanio! And the Bianchi is a beaut too! Edited October 10, 2016 by DJR HeyYou 1
HeyYou Posted October 19, 2016 Posted October 19, 2016 (edited) So there she is, 1976 Raleigh SBDU. Just finished fitting the Campagnolo Record wheels with tubbies and Zeus crankset. Campagnolo Grand Sport pedals. Very light and rides like a dream.Raleigh.jpg For those of you that follow this thread religiously, you might remember Eppie (riding Ara at the mo) posting a coupe of threads on this bike. Well. I acquired it, swopped for an SA frame and goodies, so Eppie could build and ride Ara. Eppie found out some nice info re this frame, but no real history. Well, things have changed!!!!! I was stripping the bike yesterday morning, to begin a restoration project, not sure yet, but nevertheless. Stripped off everything, for polishing and cleaning etc. Held the frame upside down and a piece of 'old' paper fell out of the seat tube!

HeyYou Posted October 19, 2016 Posted October 19, 2016 Anyway, if you decipher it, it says Tony Impey on the top. So I contacted Tony and this is what he replied: Hi Vic, That was my bike sold it to a guy in the Cape in the eighties. My Club Johannesburg Cycling Racing Team which was Sponsored by TI Raleigh at the time donated a Raleigh 753 to me.For being the Club Omnium Champion .Won 3 SA individual Pursuit Titles on it. “ SA 20km and record holder 1976 on it. “ SA Games 40km Gold Medal on it. “ SA Games 4000m IND Pursuit Title on itGreat Memories.Please send a pic.RegardsTony So now the bike has some real history and thanks to Tony for replying, so real SA history in my hands. danthunders, Delgado, Stretched@Birth and 3 others 6

Loose cog Posted October 20, 2016 Posted October 20, 2016 Great find Vic. Eric is going to regret selling it. HeyYou 1
DJR Posted October 20, 2016 Posted October 20, 2016 (edited) Great find Vic. Eric is going to regret selling it.Note to self: ALWAYS check tubes for old bits of paper, spiders, rust, dagga and money! Who knows when it will be your lucky day? Edited October 20, 2016 by DJR HeyYou, Loose cog, IH8MUD and 2 others 5
HeyYou Posted October 22, 2016 Posted October 22, 2016 Seat tube clamp arrived. Don't have 9 speed Record at the moment, so 9 speed Veloce levers (sh......t)! kamaalo, Loose cog, Kenty and 4 others 7
Eppie Posted October 22, 2016 Posted October 22, 2016 somehow messed this up, herewith the piece of 'old' paper!!!!!!Hi Vic, that was a great discovery. I tried to find out the history of the frame from Arthur Parsons who I bought it from but I don't think he even knew that it belonged to Tony Impey. No regrets I am glad the bike went to you who will appreciate the history attached. Here is my replacement TI DJR, Kenty, Lance Notstrong and 4 others 7
