Sorry, it didn't load - I'll try again.
You may be able to see that this frame has an oversized top tube (I think it's actually a down tube) - I believe this was done for an aesthetic reason. The handlebar gear control was fairly typical for the period - this one is a Cyclo and it has just enough movement for the rear mech, but cable adjustment was critical.
The rims are 700's which make the frame seem a bit 'gappy', but there are limits to my tolerance of old kit and 27's go beyond it.
As I said in my original post, the frame was on loan, and it has now gone back to its rightful home, so the machine no longer exists. However all the components are in a box and writing this post has made me consider reconstituting the bike.
