Good eye. I didn't read where he said "Superbe group".

He actually used the term "groupset," which is another strike against him in my book.

There are threads about this. Redundancy. "Group" and "gruppo" have served well for decades and now we need to say groupset? As I've stated elsewhere, if you expanded the scope of the concept you'd be saying things like leverhandle, seatsaddle, paintfinish and bikecycle.

Colin Laing
YAY I finally get to post links
https://boston.craigslist.org/bmw/bi...306873526.html
A nice looking Colin Laing for a nice price from a nice guy named Jack. I was going to look at it but work called and I can't. Figured I'd open it to you guys to take it before I have 8 instead of 7 bikes sitting in my living room lol.
I think he had this posted several years back for $100s more and he has brought down his price a little bit.
I E-mail him and he said:
Dropouts are Campagnolo.
Wheels are:
Front: Shimano hub Fiamme rim MM Atom skewer.
Rear: Normandy hub Fiamme rim campy skewer regina cluster.
Here's the rest of his CL post
74 Colin Laing custom bicycle, 22", tight rear triangle.
Reynolds 531 throughout.
Built by renouned frame builder Colin Laing in England before his move to Arizona.
Mostly Campagnolo Record components incl crankset and chainrings, brakes, shifters, headset, seat post.
Campy super record pedals.
A set of my old training wheels are on the bike. Campy skewers (I believe). 10 speed setup.
TTT titanium bottom bracket axle
I built the bike in 1974 for mainly criterium races. Fork is angled more like a road bike, allowing use for longer road races and training. Tubular tires. I had other bikes for riding around town and training in the rain. Brakes are set up for a criterium, so rear cluster can be shifted right hand and rear brake squeezed left hand. Rear brake under stays because....cool and lower moment when turning. Saved me 0.00000002 mili seconds in a 10 mile race!
Bike is rideable. Never crashed.
Feel free to ask for specific measurements or pictures or to come evaluate it. It has spent most of its life hanging in my basement.
Asking $400.

I understand the frustration with redundant phrasing though. At work people always say they want an "SSD drive" when SSD stands for Solid State Drive or to send something via "FTP protocol" when FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol. There's tons of examples like this I'm sure.
I took a class by NPR linquist Geoffrey Nunberg and he told us to forget grammar "rules" and focus on being understood.

Groupset, Group Set
Redundant term for "group." More common in British usage than American.

Gruppo vs Groupset
I don't know the difference but on a lighter note here is a 1990's RX100 gruppo/groupset/group/etc on Ebay for $100.

So. If you have stilts here is a Schwinn Voyageur that might be worth looking at for $100. I cant really identify the parts on this thing.

Good price on an early Peugeot PX-10 in San Francisco. Closer to '69 than the advertised '79.
