A Soren son Reynolds 731 frame with 531 forks Weighs in at 2.6kg
A heap of track wheels tublulars and clinchers with Suntour Superbe pro and campag record hubs to name a few
and best of all a Kerry Hopkins track bike which weighs in at 7.4kg without a front tyre. This bike was owned by Kris Denham and from the little research I have done, appears to have raced for Australia. I cant believe what people throw out.

I am probably not suppose to be spruiking for a sale in this section but there isnt a velodrome within 150km of me so I will be looking at moving this stuff on. Better photos coming soon in the 4 sale section
Cheers

Good to see you rescued it. By coincidence I was recently given Kris Denham's road TT bike, which I was going to post up shortly. This is also purple (Kris obviously liked purple) and has a "Custom Paint by Kerry Hopkins" sticker. I think it's actually a Geoff Scott/Clamont, repainted by Hopkins. It came with a bodgy wheelset including a Superbe Pro track front wheel.brokenbus wrote: and best of all a Kerry Hopkins track bike which weighs in at 7.4kg without a front tyre.

I'll post some images soon.brokenbus wrote:Cool I would like to see the TT bike photos. Did he put his initials on those wheels as well. I have 4 of the superbe pro back wheels and only one front.
Curiously the front wheel has a Blackman engraving (Blackman Cycles, Parramatta I guess) with Denham in texta on the rim. The TT bike chainring has his name engraved on it, must have been a big lot of bike thieves about?
PM me if you want to do a swap for road wheels. Be nice to re-unite the TT bike with the correct wheels.

You sure it was council pick-up junk? Maybe someone was moving house and was backing the trailer out, or something? [INSERT SICK-WITH-JEALOUSY EMOTICON HERE]
Here in Syd I once saw a few BSO's last literally less than a minute after being left outside -- there were a couple of parolees stalking the street and one of them thought he'd won the lottery by beating the other guy.
Black Head should prepare itself for a sudden influx of cyclists.

One of the back wheels had Blackman written in texta on the rim. It came off when I wiped it though which didnt expect.Johnj wrote:I'll post some images soon.brokenbus wrote:Cool I would like to see the TT bike photos.

I think the campag record hubbed wheel was QR. What road wheels have you got?
