VINER 56cm ROAD BIKE c1986 C-Record, Super Record
Offered for sale is a 56cm ctc (58cm ctt) Viner road bike with a 55cm ctc
top tube and dating about 1986. This bike has had very little use and is
virtually mint. The paintwork is practically unmarked and all the transfers
are near perfect. The frame was built from Columbus SLX tubing and has aero
brake cable routing. A Campagnolo late pattern Super Record chainset
(unfluted) is fitted together with 1990 Athena gears and brakes including
shifters. The seatpost is Super Record and the bars are Cinelli Campione Del
Mondo. Wheels are 28H Campagnolo small flange Record hubs on Mavic CX18
sprint rims with a 13-18T 6-speed freewheel. No pedals are included. This is
a rare opportunity to acquire a lovely lugged steel frame with some choice
equipment. All the equipment is in excellent condition - even the braking
surfaces of the rims are hardly marked. $465

RAULER ROAD FRAME 53cm ctc (54cm ctt) made c1979. It has a 54cm ctc top tube
and is 126 mm across the rear ends. The frame is fitted with the rare
Campagnolo Portacatena rear ends and is complete with the aluminium piece
for the chain to derail onto. The Portacatena system was designed to speed
wheel changes but never really caught on. It uses a special Campagnolo gear
lever (a NOS set is included. Rauler it is believed worked for Colnago
before setting up on his own - the standard of workmanship looks to be
equally good. $245

SIMPLEX STEEL SEATPIN - measured with a vernier calliper it works out at
26.4/26.6mm and should fit many French frames with metric dimensioned
tubing. The shaft has some fine pitting and there is a little pitting to
the top and fittings also; the badge is close to perfect. The Simplex steel
seatpins are really rather rare and were introduced in 1959 and running
through to the early 1970s. $85

SUPER CHAMPION OSGEAR c1936/7 3-speed The Super Champion gear was the first
derailleur to be allowed in the Tour de France in 1937 after the regulations
on gears was relaxed and was the gear of choice of most road racers pre WWII
and in the immediate post WWII period. When imported into the UK they were
called Osgears. These gears are very rare and give a road racing machine of
the late 30s - early 50s a wonderful distinctive appearance. I will supply a
copy of instructions for setting up the Osgear. It comes complete with the
original Super Champion chainwheel guide, Super Champion spoke disc and most
rarely the original Super Champion freewheel with 15, 17, 18T and French
threads. The gear itself is only very lightly used and the freewheel teeth
also only show light/medium wear and is perfectly useable. $225
