For sale before it goes to Ebay: <http://www.wooljersey.com/gallery/fujifish1/ID_or_Sale/ThomTT/ > Thompson 1980s time trial bike with forward sloping top tube. Reynolds 531c

frame and forks, lugged except for fillet brazed seat cluster with fastback seat stay attachment. 57cm seat tube c-c, 58.5cm top tube. English threadi ng, recessed Allen brake mount, 700c wheels. Has down tube water bottle mounts,

under bottom bracket derailleur cable guide, and intelligent under top tube brake cable stops. Built with the following Shimano 600 parts: headset, bra kes and levers, front and rear derailleurs, shifters, bottom bracket, front hub,

and pedals (I think). Cranks are 1984 Campagnolo Victory 170mm, 53/42 tooth

(116 bcd). Rear wheel is a Campagnolo Record low flange hub with Campy tubu lar Record rim (in place of the original 600 rear wheel, which is lost), with a Suntour 7 speed freewheel. Front rim is a Matrix Aero dark anodized clinche r. Stem is SR and bars say PZ. Seatpost is black anodized aluminum, of unknown

brand. Saddle seems undesirable, so you might want to replace it too.<p> There are a few little nicks in the \u201cfire engine red\u201d paint, but not much, and the finish is still excellent otherwise. No rust, dents, dings, cracks,

etc. on the frame set, nor are there blemishes to speak of on any of the par ts, but the rear wheel shows distinctly more use than the originals, and needs some work to be cleaned up well. Decals on rear rim show some loss. Bike w as well wiped down for photos, but it has not been cleaned. Rear wheel can be swapped for a Maillard Helicomatic hubbed wheel, but it ha s a 6 speed freewheel ... buyers choice of rear wheel. Price is $300, plus actual Fed Ex shipping to your door. Thanks...
