Budget Luis Ocana Project

Posted on
  • Afternoon all,

    I've just bought a cheap 'Luis Ocana' road bike (who actually makes these frames, and what from!?) - not in the best shape - for a low budget commuter project.

    I had an unexplainable attraction to the bike, and got it for £80 (alright deal?).

    I don't know much about the bike, other than the brief spec given by the seller;

    • French built (70s)
    • Mafac Racer Center Pull Brakes
    • Huret Gearset

    I'm planning on giving it a fairly standard tidy up - new chain, cables, pads, tubes, tyres and tape - to get it on the road, and then seeing how it rides before investing more heavily than that.

    I can't find much info about 'Luis Ocana' bikes online, and wondered if anyone knew anything about them. What are the brakes and gearset like that are on it?
