Chas , will be happy to show my NOS once built with zeus 2000 NOS parts, it may take a while as i currently slowly putting together a speedwell with campagnolo Below, extraordinarily rare Campy 1010 long, horizontal dropouts with eyelets fashioned in Titanium for Pino Maroni and Cecil Behringer’s “Pinbehr” titanium bike c. 1973. These titanium frames were brazed and lugged. Pino and Cecil challenged all with it’s strength by riding it down a long series of stairs! It’s my understanding that Campagnolo made these eyeletted and non-eyeletted titanium dropouts for them (only 25 sets made) for this purpose.

Very intersting thread.
I was very closley connected to Speedwell, and have build many speedwell titanium frames whilst they were in production. I have two speedwell bikes which have been used since they were made, and are still just as good as they were when they came out of the workshop 35 years ago. Not many frames of today can match the precison engineering that was applied to these frames, which are a work of art.
If any one would like further information about Speedwell or individual frames please get in touch.

Just taken delivery of a NOS unbuilt Speedwell Ti frame/fork , paid £1000 on ebay, will be building it up with a NOS Zeus 2000 group set, a nod to Luis Ocana, and Mavic SSC blue rims, once built it will be showroom condition, and will have cost around £3000, PR27323 so second month of production . As you will know the quality of workmanship is first class and as they were never a mass production build, its fair to say, a true value would be upwards of £500 for a used undamaged frame, £1000 for a built model with used campag , and minter £3000 plus , just my opinion based on my experience, mac
