the good:
- '72 Frameset fork and Campagnolo Headest in pretty good condition - less the incorrect head badge
- a nice Brooks Professional
- Campagnolo front Derailleur
- Maybe some high flange hubs, not 100% sure from the pics...
- Its going to be a nice day in Denver later this week and I plan to ride it
- Not original Nervar Star BSA Crankset wtih a 52/38 Chain Ring Set up
- 3TTT 95MM Stem and what appear to be Matching 3TTT Handle Bars (not currently installed)
- Some sort of "Aero 27.2 Seatpost" Not original - but will do

Isn't the crack just in the cable guide?
Either way another reason to check well before buying (which I often forget.....)

Could be, but I can't see the screw that would hold it in place....Glued or pressure/pin fit?

Don't beat me too hard. I have never seen a "quality" Ted Williams in the flesh....
This is a Sport Racer. I can't see if it has 531 sticker and/or Made in Austria sticker. Lugs do look cool. I do admire the idea of it being made of aluminum and then there's the BS pricing "$150$5,000".

For the Williams above.
Driving me mental as I couldn't find a photo "head on" of the head tube. The photos I've seen of this model show really cool looking lugs.
Not sure if these were the 531 frame, Campagnolo equipped bikes I recall seeing in old ads.
Curiously, the old ads I saw look very similar to this one. Clearly the seatpost has been replaced - looks Sugino or Leprade not campy.
The oddity to me is that crankset. Original ads show what looks like the same cranks. Cranks should have been campy I believe but was campy still making cottered cranks in the '60's???

Also just happens that the sliver-gray plastic (only color I ever saw for these guides) is fairly close in appearance to the aluminum BB shell of Vitus 979s.
I had a spare guide floating around in my spare parts bin for awhile, if it's still there I'll snap a pic and post it.
