And this is what I have come back with,
Pair of look pedals £5 they are the basic model and don't have any spring tension adjustment but as a means of getting me riding again they will be absolutely fine once cleaned.
Campag Triomphe rear mech £9 from the photo you can hopefully see that I have cleaned and polished it and re greased the jockey wheels. The only thing missing is the cable adjuster.
Next is the seat post, £15 matey who I bought the frame from offered me this one at a knocked down rate because he scratched the top of the vitus frame, doh!!! Cleaned and polished, the saddle was a bit of extravagance because it cost £29, but it weighs 180g is made from carbon fiber and Titanium and I love it!
Finally we have some ergo cinelli bars, £5. I wanted bars with a clamp diameter of 26mm to fit the old quill stem and recesses for the brake cables. Aero brake levers were starting to make an appearance in the late 1980's so I have the option. a little bit of elbow grease will see them cleaned and ready for some new tape. ergo bars seem obvious now, but for some reason manufacturers persisted on making bars with curves which never fitted your hand. Can't wait to try these out.
