Ive got this eclipse 'countrymen' bike that I'm not using.
Made in 1985 i think. £180. SOLD
photo removed
531 frameset. 60cm top tube ctt and 58cm seat tube ctc.
Very nice campagnolo/wolber wheelset. True and smooth, no play in the hubs. Gum wall tyres.
Weinmann brakes and levers. The brakes are good with original pads but the hoods on the levers are perished.
Suntour cyclone MII group with suntour 6 speed freewheel and original DID (made in japan) chain. (The chain is worn to 0.75 but not yet 1.0 so still usable.)
The seatpost and stem are both free, I've taken then both out, greased them and put them back in.
The saddle is not original to the bike but seemed about right. No pedals at present but i can put some on, i think i have some sylvan style somewhere.
Bike is in NW3 2JR near gospel oak overground station if you want to come and try it out.
I understand this is probably more of a retro bike kind of thing bit I'm hoping someone on here will go for it so i don't have to post it!
