The Ron Cooper 'Auckland Explorer'

  • Firstly, apologies as this isnt exactly a current project since its basically just been completed.

    However, I was gathering parts and getting urgent repair work done in the mad rush up to leaving, several of you helped with parts and / or advice, namely Scilly Suffolk in particular, so thought it be good for me to post this up.

    I have brought my Merckx road bike and Roberts track bike with me, but needed an everyday geared bike, so built this up, its got mudguard braze ons but its a tight fit so havent been able to sort those out yet.....

    The group set is nice mix and match Campag which seems to work well, with some swept back bars, down tube shifters and 'town brakes'. The frame is an old Ron Cooper which had been well used over the years, and unknown to me when I brought it recently, the down tube was dinged and turns out the tube was bent and needed to be replaced. Then obviously repainted......

    So here it is:
