I got a frame......but thats it

Postby mlocke » Mon Apr 07, 2008 2:42 pm

Well nearly ........

I have frame, forks and headset

I now need some new bits and in particular was thinking Campag set:

Derailleurs
Brakes - levers & calipers
handlebars
Stem
setpost
seat

The list is not exclusive so if you have something that you think I might want then give me a shout.

Thanks in advance

I might have some brake calipers you could have cheap, I'll have a look during the week and let you know.

I got derailleurs (2006 Chorus front and 2006 carbon Centaur rear) from ebay when I was building up a bike. You can get good deals there but I keep clear from most sellers as they are cowboys. You can normally tell, someone selling Chorus level kit should know what it does! I tend to buy from the shops that are on there like High On Bikes who use ebay as a way of clearing surplus stock or older models. Would you complain at 2006 Chorus kit, I wouldn't but the shops only tend to want last years at most on the shelves so you can get good deals.

I know some people don't like them but I've always been pleased with the service and price of stuff at Ribble, they often have good deals.

Also [url=http://www.probikekit.com/display.php?cat=Campagnolo%20Centaur]ProBikeKit[/url] have some good deals.

Unless you can afford Chorus or Record for the Ergos then see if you can get year old ones (new but old shop stock - check GBs as they normally have some) before the "Escape" system was introduced as this stops you being able to trim the front derailleur. Lower weight but a backward step to my mind.

Have sent you a pm about the brakes.

Obviously to start with before you have the funds you can use the same wheels you use now as you can only ride one bike at a time. You could also keep costs down initially by doing the same with the saddle and seatpost, assuming the seat tube is the same diameter.
