OK ... I'm thinking of buying a bike with gears, the first one I'll have owned since the Pug early mountain bike I had in the 80's. It's all Campag (Super I believe), showbike from 1980, 531, British builder, hardly ever been ridden. Looks as good as new. I've offered £240. Think I'm getting a good deal? Just thought I'd ask to see what you lovely people have to say on the matter. I imagine I'd keep it indoors except for the long rides that have proper hills.

campy super record? mmm.... really nice if it's a complete groupset (inc. pedals + hubs)
sounds like a fair price & it's an investment too!
[EDIT - But I suspect I pay too much for stuff.. meh.]

Making me feel better already, I guess I just looking for approval, sad loser that I am. Thing is we have no room at home, unless I start keeping bikes outside (which may be an option if I can find a little shed to put out the back)

That sounds like a very good deal. Depending on the condition, old Campag parts go for a shit load of cash on ebay. Japanese collectors are very keen on them. They pay a lot more than fiddy dorra.

Exactly. I went through my old bike bits with a fine tooth comb after seeing that!
