Landar components

[allegro]

Does anyone remember or have any Landar components? Please post any pics if you do. I'm looking to do a complete build with Landar components but apart from a few bits that are on eBay they seem thin on the ground. As a younger chap they seemed plentiful and cheap

Anyone

The first proper racing bike I bought had a pair of these:

It was a decent 531 frame (albeit a slightly bent one, with the front forks at a subtly different angle to the rear triangle), but it had a total mismatch of parts (Record l/f front hub on Super Champion rim / Nuovo Tipo s/f rear hub on fiamme rim / Shimano 500 deraillers and a dirt-cheap cotterless chainset whose name escapes me (just found it on the internet.... it was a Maxy.....none of which is much good for your Landar search, but it was a nice trip down memory lane for me!)

As far as I could tell the Landar brakes were pretty much identical to the Weinman and Dia Compe models of the time....I binned them for some much more racy black Weinmann 500's as soon as I could.
