Here's the Before and afters, more info after the jump;
Its a 1981 model Roadspeed, 56cm on the seatpost c-t.
Frame is Tange Champion 2 Cro-Mo tubing, with Hi-Manga forks and Shimano EF dropouts. powdercoated in an orange pretty close to the original Indian Red. (asked Koga, but the keep no records of the clours codes for the old frames) Fresh set of decals has been applied.
Kept the era specific Shimano 600 EX group set, but upped from Arabesque to the last non-SIS gruppo. The original was a mix of AX and Arabesque so felt fine fitting AX brake levers & an Arabesque headset.
SR fluted seatpost, SR Road Champion Bars and quill stem, Italia Sprint saddle and SR 100-AL Quill pedals are all period correct.
Wheels are Mavic Module e2 rims on Shimano 600 hubs, Specialized touring k2 700cx25 rear, Michelin BTB 700x23c front.
Not looking to get more than what it cost to put together, just need to move it on to bring in the next project.
£300 seems fair.
Collection from bristol is preferred, but happy to courier if you arrange,
