I was planning on bidding on just a Woodrup for sale locally, then the other bike the seller had was well was posted on here, so I bid on both. Collected today the seller kindly donated a load of other items (crankset, wheels, pedals, tools, other parts) in addition. So I've bought:
A late 1970's 55cm Woodrup, with a mixed groupset but would originally have been Shimano 600 with possibly Campagnolo Strada as a Strada RH crank was included. The wheels are tubular front, clincher rear and there's a spare new tub on the roll:. The seatpost moves but is tight, so I've sprayed that and will have a go later. Oh, and the bike computer works:
A 2005 54cm Trek 2002, part-carbon, with a mixed 9-speed Shimano Ultegra & 105 groupset plus Ultegra pedals. All works, saddle bag is full and the bike computer works. This could be ridden away with just a bit of air in the tyres although I'd suggest it'd benefit from matching tyres (the one from the Woodrup matches), a new chain, inner/outer cables and bar tape.
Son no. 2's tried it and is baffled why it was only £41 as the Trek works perfectly:
Plus a whole pile of wheels and other items:
Plans? Well I wanted the Woodrup, which I'll work on over the next few months whilst sourcing the original groupset if I can confirm that from Woodrup. The Trek? Not a clue.
Also bought has been a Dura-Ace 7900 front derailleur and a new carbon wheelset.
