Man that was the only thing I couldn't find today! For sure I'm keen if you're willing to let it go!

mate, just had a quick look and found one that looks like this one, its condition is a bit worse than the one pictured:

not really in the same era as the rest of you stuff though..

i'll have another look through the stuff tomorrow and get back to you

Hmm that might still be AOK though. It's all mixed up and I don't mind that it is. That looks to be a 90's one which is actually better suited tot he bike that the late 80's cranks I have on there now. Happy to take it off your hamds. PM me a price?

Ghetto fabulous. I doubt I'll be able to ride it like this. I did want to whack a high rise stem on it to make it ridable, but hey this is fun, for now.[/quote]

I reckon in might be alright to ride as it is with that geometry. As long as you are not doing any crazy hills. It's gonna look really good.

I've been on the hunt for a cheap 650c wheel for the front of the bike for a while now and a cheap set (I now have a useless spare rear) came up on eBay and I won them for $182 a pair with tubes and tyres. I'm borrowing Christina's rear 700c wheel for these shots.

Wow.

Stem's too long.

Still needs: Pedals, rear mech, chain, cables, rear wheel, cassette.

Don't know how we rode these back in the day, our back's (or body's) must have been a bit more flexible.

Nice Basso, unusual to see one built in Reynolds tubing.

Bargin on the wheel(s).
Looking good

Thanks to Matt/addmin I now have a 600 rear derailleur too so it's a mixed bag of Shimano 600. Shifters are 6 speed so I'll have to try and hunt down a 6 speed cluster on eBay (plenty out there).

Ghetto Blaster!

Wired up and ready to roll.
