All Campy NR, Reynolds 531, and this time the frame is the right size for me - 24" (my other classic has a 22" frame, too small for me) $230. Not bad - just the steel cage Campy pedals on it are worth $100.
About a month ago I bought a 1960s Claud Butler road bike for £8 from a car boot sale.
It's a sale usually held in a big field which people bring anything they want to sell (I suppose "boot" means "trunk" to my friends from across the pond).gregski said:Is a "car boot sale" like our garage sales, where people buy other people's junk?
Sounds like a good time to be had! I like going to stuff like that never knowin what you'll find huh?

It's a very British thing, going to car boot sales and buying things you don't really need then getting soaked in the rain.

The bike is beautifully made with prugnat lugs and possibly the thinnest seat/chainstays I've ever seen, a lot lighter than my modern Dawes Galaxy. It's a bit too big for me, so I have to get rid of it, though...
