Hi all, long time since I last lurked or posted. Regrettably, I'm looking to sell my Freddie Grubb path bike build complete.
Frame:
The frame is a 50/60's (in the time I've had it've reckoned it at 1957) Freddie Grubb Comet. For a bit of recent owner history start here: http://www.retrodicorsa.cc/Retro_di_Corsa/archive/Pages/Freddie_Grubb.html before going here: http://www.lfgss.com/conversations/172168/ where I bought it. Vital measurements: 21.25” x 22.5” or 54.5cm x 57cm, 1” steerer, English BB, 26.4mm seat post, 110mm rear spacing. Great condition with a wonderfully vibrant paint job (almost definitely after-market) with the expected dings and scratches.
Bits:
Rims are Atlanta 96's in great condition with a Dura Ace 7710 hub on the front and a Miche Primato small flange on the back. Stronglight chainset. I think it's 54/22. New Brooks Swift saddle (last one stolen about two weeks ago so this one's seen about ten minutes riding) and matching Brooks tape that is slightly more worn. Brake is Tiagra with a Dia Compe 135 lever. BB was replaced with a new Miche one but the headset is the original (and perfectly working) Modus one. Bars, stem and seatpost are all relatively prosaic brands but all in great condition.
Price:
I rarely get to ride it and unfortunately I have a new bike incoming and one of the existing stable just had to go. I'm loathe to break it up (is that a thing that people still do here?) so will be looking for people who are interested in the whole thing for £400. Collection only please from Camberwell/Peckham.
