After some elbow-grease and brasso. Have ordered some replacement nuts to replace the rusted ones.

 

Looks like you have been busy' date=' well done.[/quote']

 

H3ey Waynedude you've done terrific work with those. They look splendid

[HeartCoppi]

Anybody looking for a 8 speed campy casset?

I have no idea! Would it look good on my Hanson?

 

IMO this hansom has to be fitted with Shimano 600 i.e. biopace cranks

I think thats the original setup. cos the two that have passed through my hands have been equipped like this. The one in fact had quite a beautiful light green metallic anodized finish 600 groupset.

 

BUT, I stand corrected if thats not the case.

I have two Shimano Biopace groupsets - one in not so good condition which I'm willing to let go if someone is keen (the one is going back on my '87 Cannondale Crit)

[HeartCoppi]

I agree... either shimano 600ex or shimano sante (anyone remember this groupset)?

 

 

 

great example waynedude, the sante's look rare!

 

...just to add on... the"ex" stands for "exage"

Which one again GT? The Merckx??

[HeartCoppi]

Thanks, I'm lank stoked. Those pictures posted burnt a hole in my brain. Then it didnt take long.

(a) LMAO cos I have 3 daughters playing next to me and while reading your Q it sounded like I had a new barbie. But you sound just like me. I also have this habit of refering to a bike in the efeminate form. which of course is debateable,but hell,its a thing of beauty.

ANS: I dont know yet. Thinking a lot! let her arrive first. Only thing for sure .... it will be Campagnolo. How did you envisage?

(B) gtracing just refresh me regarding what frame sorry?
