Should hopefully receive this within the next week.
It's a nigel dean tour master. I have been searching for a steel cross/gravel frame for a short while, fancied something more modern but this has won me over.
The gentlemen at Argos Racing Cycles, Bristol, replaced the two creased tubes and carried out various modifications at my request. The drop outs and frame ends were chrome plated. The gear and rear brake cables were re-routed along the top of the top tube. Mudguard bosses were fitted to the underside of the fork crown, seat stay and rear of the chain stay bridges. A pump peg was fitted to the non-drive side seat stay, and the frame and forks were stove enamelled in Eau de Nil....all in all it worked out at over £600 - but it seemed worth it at the time to get it back on the road again.
The plan is :
-Modern 9/10 speed group, Rear Spacing still to be confirmed.
-1x or double chainset in silver.
-Possibly some ditto bull moose.
-Silver rimmed wheel set with 35c tyres, not using guards (need suggestions)
-Silver post/flite combo.
-Front rack (no idea on what style or fixing)
-I am not the biggest fan of the paint. There's a few rough spots so I may get this powder coated by a family friend. But that'll be confirmed later on. Like the idea of singe colour but with different coloured seat tube.
This will be a slow burner. And on a slight budget as I am saving for a holiday in the summer after exams.
edit: for now building this bike
