    Wanna buy it Ady? It'll match those slow running shoes you've got....

    I've got a Reynolds 631 fillet brazed frame (Lee Cooper, top frame builder in Coventry) with full Campagnolo Daytona 9 speed group set, Mavic Open Pro Wheels, ITM bars and stem and a San Marco saddle. SPD or flat pedals, take your choice.

    It's done very few dry miles and I'm looking for £375 as my bike count is getting silly. I'm 5' 6" and the frame was made to measure.

    nice bike dom

    try e bay guys , alternative is to do what i did and get one out a skip and do it up.
    If your lucky enough to find an original raleigh tour de france bike that matches you size you will do well.
    £ 70 mercian respray with highlighted lugs and about £ 250 spent on it.

    otherwise cycling is not the cheapest sport but well worth the expenditure.

    but you will either love road cycling or hate it
