Just bought this for £150, spent some extra cash on new tyres, cables and flatter bars & tape, fitted some super-stiff Shimano Hollowtech cranks and a pair of Sora shifters kindly donated by ColinJ, now I just need to ditch the Campy block for a Shimano with a wider range of gears, which should solve the shifting problems and give me the perfect MTBer's road trainer for hilly Lancashire.
The frame was the second of a series built in Birmingham in April 1990 for Harry Hall's Manchester shop. It is in Columbus SLX tubing with cast lugs and cost around £300 at that time. It rides real nice, sprightly and fresh feeling. My only reservation is that it feels very stretched but I'll give it a few rides before changing the stem.
