• Picked this up off eBay. It was in a bit of a state when it came to me so I sent it off to August Cycles for repairs. Lacking the motivation to finish it at the moment so hoping someone else can get it up and running.

    54cm square.
    Fillet brazed Columbus tubing.
    Frame and fork will clear 700x32c.

    Extensive repairs carried out by Gav at August Cycles.

    1. Head tube repaired with sleeves brazed inside and re-reamed to accept a headset. Rings added to the outside to beef everything up then reshaped to follow original profile.
    2. Down tube bosses added with cable guides on the side of the head tube.
    3. Cable-stop on the chainstay swapped.
    4. Internal brake cable into top tube.
    5. BB shell reamed and faced.
    6. Fork dropouts swapped.
    7. Alignment checked.
    8. Dent in underside of the top tube filled and repaired.

    I dated it to May 1984 from the frame number but resident Roberts expert @DrJohn reckons it's earlier than that.

    Just needs paint (and maybe bottle cage bosses which I forgot to ask for 🤦‍♂️)
