gtracing thats cruel. Delgado's probably clentching his ?

Remember delgado ...you made yourself a promise.

 

But OMG that pinarello is HHHHHHOT!

What size are these frame sets?

If it wasn't that big I could have had a relapse!! Thank the heavens.

 

We did however pick up another Battaglin stray this morning but it is E1A1's for parts!! Frame also a 60cm CTC (too big again) so it may appear here soon for sale. Very unusual yellow colour scheme with no chroming bar the driveside chainstay.

 

I have started working on the Battaglin and most upset that it is way too big for me. The fork will have to be rechromed but the rest of it looks in pretty good nick. Very plain yellow and blue colour scheme - will post some pics soon.

 

My Tommasini is slowly taking shape, hoping to have her on the road in a week or 2.

Ha ha! The grass is greener now Slowbee!

 

Incidently, the Merckx now has a set of Time RXS pedals on, with a new old stock Flite saddle...the gearing is 7speed Delgado! 13/21 53/42

Its a 1981 CINELLI Laser. Look at what Cervelo and Felt are doing these days. Cinelli did it 28 years ago!

 

I saw one in NZ, couldn't afford so I bought the Pedals and put them on a Shimano AX bike with full 600 AX.

Now I'm even more confused...if the LAser originally came out with DT shifters placed aero on top of the DT then how come this pic has the gear cable attchments on the side of the DT?

Looks like the 90's Lasers had the DT shifters mounted more to the center of the tube. Look at this link of a 94 Laser TT bike:

Stunning website!! Thanks!

These might not belong on this thread but they took me right back to seven years old and my second bicycle. I had this yellow Western Flyer with full suspension, banana seat, plastic petrol tank, mudguards and number plate. Would love to find one of those to restore.

 

These two bikes here were made by Felt last year as a limited edition. Top one is the Vintage Iron Bolt and bottom one is the Vintage Iron Pursang (reminds me of my brothers old 250 Bultaco):

 

 

[Delgado]

Velo I had something similar and also in yellow except that there was a rear shock absorber as well. Weighed a bloomin ton!!

[javadude]

Yes, mine also had a rear shock.

I am getting on in years so cannot remember where I read it and too darn lazy to go and look for the post, but think someone was looking for  Shimano White Sante cranks with biopace rings. Let me know, I might be able to help.

Anyone interested in this piece of South African history?

Le Turbo Persuit. 26" frontwheel Size 56cm - BB to top of toptube, 56cm seat tube - headtube c/c

I'm considering selling the frameset incl. BB, headset, seatpost, 26" front wheel&tubbie and will include a 27" fork if you plan to race it on the track

[HeartCoppi]

those are really nice bikes velo.

I keep a look out for you. Any condition I take it?

 

also always admire a well posed bike. The deatils such as positioned cranks. positioned valves. valve position rel to tyre branding. they however overlooked the brake cable position on the yellow one
