1980s Alan Record Road Bike Medium Steel Shimano/ Campagnolo/Suntour 6 Speed

Description

The bicycles we sell are best described as "Project Bikes" that have one or more of the following issues:
-
frame
damage
- defective and/or worn-out parts
- parts that are missing
We don't perform any maintenance or repair work on the bicycles in our inventory. At a minimum, a bicycle purchased from us will need to be professionally assembled and inspected for safe operation. Most will also need extensive service work.
CONDITION
Our visual inspection of this bicycle was focused mainly on the structural integrity of the
frame
and
fork
, with less effort devoted to inspection of the components (
cockpit
,
drivetrain
,
wheels
).
Damage that
exceeds
the following common conditions is described further down in this section:
- light scratches and small dings
- minor damage to finish due to cable, heel, and chain rub
- what might be typical for a bike of this type and/or age (e.g. crank arm damage from curb and/or rock strikes, etc.)
Frame
/
Fork
We found damage in the following location(s):
- Light cosmetic scratches on front
fork
, top tube, down tube,
seat tube
, non drive-side chainstay, and non drive-side seatstay.
- Light to moderate scratches on down tube manufacturer decals.
- Light oxidation on the top of seat tube collar.
- Light dings on chainstay protector.
It's the buyer's sole responsibility, ideally in consultation with a carbon repair expert, to determine whether or not any area of carbon damage identified in this listing actually needs to be repaired in order for this bicycle to be considered safe to ride, specifically with respect to the structural integrity of the
frame
and
fork
. For expert inspection and repair of damaged carbon, we recommend Broken Carbon in Boulder, CO.
Other than the damage noted above,
frame
/
fork
in good condition.
Cockpit
(tape/
handlebar
/
stem
/
seatpost
/
saddle
)
Handlebar
tape and
saddle
not included. Light to moderate cosmetic scratches on handlebars,
stem
, and
seatpost
. Light oxidation on seatpost. Otherwise,
cockpit
in good condition.
Drivetrain
(controls/
brakes
/derailleurs/
crankset
/
cassette
/chain)
Light scratches on brake levers, crank arms, and
rear derailleur
. Moderate wear and tear on brake cable/housing. Moderate oxidation to dual pivot caliper springs and bolts.
Drivetrain
and brake components are present and seem to be in working order. Otherwise,
drivetrain
in fair condition.
Wheelset
Light to moderate scratches on rims. Braking surface shows moderate wear from use. Light oxidation on hubs. Heavy oxidation on spoke nipples and rims. Otherwise,
wheels
in fair condition.

----- ----- ----- -----
With regard to the current state of tune and continued serviceability of the components (
cockpit
,
drivetrain
,
wheels
), assume the following:
- We have not checked the torque values of bolts and other fasteners on this bicycle, and it's certainly possible that some, and maybe even all, of these fasteners are not tightened to the manufacturers' recommended torque specifications, and, in fact, might actually be loose (e.g. loose enough to cause a component or small part to move unexpectedly or fall off, or otherwise cause a safety hazard and risk of personal injury or death).
- We have not checked the condition or adjustment of bearings (headset,
bottom bracket
, derailleur pulley,
hub
, freehub), and some or all might need to be adjusted or replaced.
- We have not checked the operation of
drivetrain
control components (shifters,
brakes
, derailleurs), and some or all might need to be adjusted. In the case of bikes with hydraulic
brakes
, the front and/or rear brake systems might need to be bled.
- We have not evaluated the condition and remaining service life of
drivetrain
wear components (brake pads, cables/housing, chainrings,
cassette
, chain), and some or all might need to be replaced.
- We have not checked the alignment of the
wheels
, and one or both might need to be trued and/or dished.
- We have not evaluated the condition of the
tires
or tubes, and some or all might need to be replaced.
