Thinning my collection a bit so the following are for sale; jpegs available - email me off line. First come, first served. All prices plus actual shipping charges.
1. 1974 Raleigh International. 22 1/2" c-t. Champagne, chrome Nervex Pro lugs. Full 531DB. All chrome is perfect, paint is in excellent condition with just a few very minor chips, decals are good to excellent, most of the 531 decal is gone. Campagnolo NR headset, crankset, front and rear derailleurs and shift levers, high flange hubs with flat QR's and seatpost. Brooks Pro saddle. Weinmann 610 brakeset, white hoods are in great shape. Nisi gold rims. GB forged stem and plain handlebars. Narrow 6 speed freewheel. Sedis chain (not pictured but will install prior to shipping). White brake cables will be installed prior to shipping too. All bearings cleaned and freshly repacked. There is no handlebar tape or pedals. I will gladly install cloth tape if you can wait for me to buy some - your choice of color but white looks best. Note that there is the very slightest of dents in the top tube on the right side just below the end of the "Made in England" decal. This dent can only be seen when light is reflected on it a certain way. I've taken a direct picture of it and tryed to capture it at it's worst. $550.
2. 1974 Motobecane Grand Record. 23" c-t. Beautiful black with red headtube and seatube panels and gold pinstriping. 531DB main tubes and forks, unknown rear stays, Nervex Pro lugs. Super red and gold paint detailing on fork crown and seat stay caps. This bike is an untouched original needing a little cleaning and touch up to look like new. There is nothing non original. Chrome is great, paint has some scratches but being black can be touched up by a layman or professional to excellent standards. Brooks Pro saddle, Philippe stem and Philippe Professional handlebar with original red tape and "M" black handlebar plugs. TA Professional crankset, Weinmann 610 brakes with hoods that are not torn but are faded and beginning to dry out. Super Champion Competition rims, Normandy gold label Luxe Competition high flange hubs. Campagnolo NR derailleur and shift lever set. Even the original sew-ups that hold air for about 24-48 hours (yes, they ought to be replaced!). Original red Silca frame pump too! Color copy of original 1974 brochure included with sale. This is a very comfortable but reasonably stiff frame - really under-rated great ride. $450.
3. Tour de Suisse. 22" c-t. Orange. Full 531DB, chrome Nervex Pro lugs, and half stays and fork crown. This bike has been ridden and is dirty. Paint has numerous chips and decals or so-so. Needs a complete clean-up. Shimano crane derailleur and Titlest front with Shimano shift lever set. 3ttt Record (95mm) stem and 3ttt bars (no model name engraved). Weinmann 610 brakes, Shimano 333 high flange hubs, 27" wheels, Mavic Mod E2 front and Weinmann rear. Brooks Pro saddle. Sugino Campagnolo copy crankset. Believed to have been made by Mondia - Swiss of course. I am told they came out of Ridgewood Cycle in Ridgewood NJ - which is where I found this one. The owner bought a bunch of these. Supposedly the bike was to be supplied free in a deal with Finair so you could ride around Sandinavia but the deal didn't work out so the bikes were a surplus deal. $200.
Thanks for looking,
Eric Elman
