Totally understand everyone's comments - I would have a build with no wheels though if I had not cheated on the Skyways.

As a total date whore, I am annoyed with myself. I have NOS Shinko fat and skinny fitted that cost a fortune - attached to fake wheels.

Would now be a good time to ask if anyone has any alloy black 80s graphites!

PS. Never seen these before either. Assume seller must be on here. Write up explains about flange found on a shelf for a ltd run of 30. Not sure link will work....

Limited run of 30,,,cough,cough 300 but who's going to find out

They did so though Chris. I think it was 2011, not 2012, unless these were done after the 'we have found 150 sets of original hubs and created 50 sets of white, 50 black, 25 red and 25 blue, using the original moulds'.

I had a red set that I recently sold to a collector in the US

These look like the ones I need but not on great shape and price even if it's fair is too much for me!

Do any members have mint versions of these from the 80s? Be cool to see some.

I have a few sets but only one set of the sealed '84 type the Bven is selling... I thought his price was great until I spotted the cracked arm $:-\$

A few sets!!!

If you ever fancy losing one to a good home.....

I doubt very much you will see a cheaper set than them on ebay, that's about as low as it goes....

Orange777 · « **Reply #34 on:** February 27, 2014, 06:35 PM »

It's the condition that is the thing am gutted about - just seem a little too wrecked. Wonder if there is a set with Earl's Sell All Of His Stuff. Had some amazing NOS from them at a price that leaves me living off beans.

Lots of money for a nice set
Campy hub bed versions even more

the first pic you put up of the black wheel with black hub, that hub is a copy of a campy

OG campy hub graphite are very rare

What does the Campy mean Mick? Is it short for something?

Found this on Google images

It's appreciated! Just did a quick search and found these, although it's just the axels. Cannot believe how many pairs you have!

It's only my second year so reckon will need to do a lot more waiting until anything crops up. Until then it's anniversary wheels or nothing!

There's some proper hoarders on here .

Not just here, everywhere. There are members on the Museum with hundreds of bikes and thousands of parts. Private collectors with hoards of stuff too.

This is why the repop market is booming Chris

That's it for awhile.... We do have some things in the works, but probably a year away at least from market.
