This has been hanging in the garage of my missus' old man for as long as they've lived there, apparently.

Mix of dura ace, campag, cinelli, mavic, and a Bob Jackson frame custom built. Not sure about the campag centre-pulls though! I'm SO having it when I get back from Oz. custom 6 speed block and the rear mech has ti bolts too! This was built up years ago - weight-weenie tastic! Was over at the weekend as they are storing some of our stuff while we're abroad. Couldn't help myself cleaning it up, re-indexing the gears and having a blast.

Looks to be in good nick, not gonna be at all light by modern standards, and probably pretty awful to ride, but you'd probably get a fair bit of money for it if you found the right person!

Well... It doesn't actually fit me. Either my feet are too long or something - as it was custom built for my F-I-L. The front wheel catches on my toes when I turn! It's not so bad in a straight line ;)... Maybe some more modern forks would sort out that?

And it's not that light either. I expected feather weight but it felt closer to my steel Pipedream with Coil Revelations than I expected.

I really feel like sticking some carbon forks on, dropping the stem down, single speeding it and using it as a commuter, but we're talking this time next year.
