I am looking for 1st generation Super Record components for my '75 TI Raleigh Team Pro (she and are off for our first real ride together in a few minutes!) which always seem to fetch what I consider absurd prices on eBay. But I am far more ignorant of this stuff than 99.87 per cent of you lot and when I do fork out that ransom, I think I might keep my mouth shut!!

But seriously, I have bought several items from Renaissance and they are great.. it's like a virtual bike shop c. 1975! I was trying to get a pair of 3ttt Superleggere bars for my Pro which they actually had offered, but alas were sold out.

Maybe we should suggest the Most Overpriced (well to some of you) 1970s lightweight based on what the various bits are fetching on eBay. Might I also suggest that it would still be cheaper than a new Litespeed.

But I don't know about the rest of you, but no matter how much I paid for any of this, I sure don't remember it after a few rides. If you're thinking about money, you might as well be at work.
