Well that was a worth while little trip.

GHP was in need of a little TLC but I decided to buy it anyway as I like restoring things. I bought the bars that came with it as well. I also picked up a pair of MKS Graphite x pedals in 9/16 that were still in the box. They've got a slight nick on them but I do mean slight and have never been mounted on a bike.

Result.

oh and here's a couple of pics to be going on with

a nice little haul there!
def worth the trip

Zippy · « **Reply #9 on:** April 21, 2006, 12:52 PM »

The GHP is too small for me to Race so I will probably retore it and ebay it, same with the other stuff.

Moose · « **Reply #10 on:** April 21, 2006, 12:54 PM »

Don't ebay the pedals - sell them to me

Zippy · « **Reply #11 on:** April 21, 2006, 12:56 PM »

The bars have a Tuff Nech decal on them, I'll look into what they are though. They could be star bars after all and I could then retire.

Not Star bars - sorry to disappoint. Looks like they might be SE bars - maybe copies?

subwax · « **Reply #16 on:** April 21, 2006, 01:10 PM »

Retire on 300 quid??? Blimey.

Frosty · « **Reply #17 on:** April 21, 2006, 01:15 PM »

What's the serial number then??

Zippy · « **Reply #18 on:** April 21, 2006, 01:26 PM »

1840425

Frosty · « **Reply #19 on:** April 21, 2006, 01:38 PM »

So that makes this another early one, Jan 84 proddy number 425.

Not sure when VDC stopped making them but have a look at the point where the top tube meets the seat tube, if it is squashed into an oval should be a VDC

How much???

Zippy · « **Reply #20 on:** April 21, 2006, 01:41 PM »

It is squashed at the seatpost where the seat stays meet it.

What I paid is a trade secret

ORB · « **Reply #21 on:** April 21, 2006, 01:43 PM »

swap it for a burner?

Frosty · « **Reply #22 on:** April 21, 2006, 01:44 PM »

That's a result for sure, don't forget behind me for the forks

Zippy · « **Reply #23 on:** April 21, 2006, 01:47 PM »

It'll probably be restored and then sold. I'm not about to start paying silly money for GHP parts that aren't available.

Bananaman · « **Reply #24 on:** April 21, 2006, 02:21 PM »

What was the Patt like??
