Ebay Grand Records

I have also seen a number of the GR on Ebay. Just looking brings back fond memories. I've even bid on a few. Always end up waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more than I'm willing to go. I'm aware of the limited use of 531 to main tubes only. Compared to my UO8 that's ok. I weight about 190#. At this point, a couple of extra pounds in the frame really isn't that big a deal. My experience is that rolling weight matters much more than frame weight anyway. When I put a pair of 700c tubular wheels on the Peuguot it made all the difference in the world. I plan on moving those wheels to the GJ. That combined with the TA crankset I EBayed will make the GJ a very nice ride almost equal to my long lost GR.
