We’ll need to see some pictures and a detailed description for a more accurate appraisal.

Easiest way I've found is to upload a collection of pictures to your Imgur account, and then paste the BB Code link in a new post in this thread.Brett3938 wrote:No problem just have to find how to put the pics up lol just in the middle of cleaning it all up

Shimano AX hidden bolt. Probably the nicest component on the whole bike. That and the Cinelli bars.Camanche73 wrote:I like that Shimano head stem.
This is a typical 1990s frame ...it may or may not be 653 - you do realise that the word "renovated" means that the tubing sticker is a non-original later addition? Nevertheless it probably is Reynolds ...or at 27.0 it may be Columbus. But its a high end frame. Not sure the stickers Hadley are original either. Anyway ...
The components are mixture of all sorts of odd stuff ... low-mid level. I would throw the whole lot away and put on a matching set of Shimano 600EX, or 600 TriColour shift levers, brakes, derailleurs and cranks. The Mavic wheels are period correct. 6 speed?
Its a decent frame. Build it up and ride it.

Are they Campy Chorus cranks? Surely they wouldn’t be the same BCD as Biopace rings.
Throw away those chainrings. <ducks>
Anything on the underside of the BB shell?

Ah, Shimano 105. It looked a bit like a 1st gen Campagnolo Chorus on my phone.Brett3938 wrote: That is a pic of what the crank is
Basically that photo with the serial number - nothing jumps out at me. Nice frame though.Brett3938 wrote:And the under side of the bb shell what is that sorry all new to me

Painting it properly can be an expensive process. If I were you - ride it, see how much you like it, then if it's a keeper look into getting it painted. If you are worried about the rust spots a bit of fish oil should keep them from developing.Brett3938 wrote:Cool thanks for your help the few time i have went on a bit of a ride on it felt good not that i have had any road bike to tell if its good or not lol. It has a few rust spots and the paint is not really good in a few bit would it be worth painting or am i better off leaving it as is

Well it looks like the original paint is long gone, so I wouldn't worry about de-valuing it. If there's a few rust spots a new coat of paint will only increase the value (a bit...it's not going to fund your retirement or anything.)Brett3938 wrote:Not worried about the paint cost as i can do that just thinking of its value or it really dont matter? And not planning on selling it any way lol

I reckon you should do a bike version of that Torana. Guess you could hang the fluffy dice off your saddle.
I'm actually loving that fork - looks a bit Columbus Air. Are there any stamps on the fork tips or dropouts? Looking for something like this:

Could it possibly be a Hillman? I’m sure there were others that combined them, but Hillman comes to mind.

Well, they're quality fork tips! Anything on the (rear) dropouts?Brett3938 wrote:Well look what i found after some cleaning looks like you were right about them. Are they a good fork ?
Although we haven't confirmed it is actually Reynolds tubing yet.Camanche73 wrote:Columbus drop outs with Reynolds tubing.
