Joe frame in 54 seat ctc x 56 ctc top T.
Lovely and lightweight, and worthy of not taking to sacrilegious Armotex endeavours.
If you know about these frames then you’ll also know it’s made by Yeats!
It’s an unusual unique frame being cyclo style, but without mudguard mounts. The cable guides run over the toptube, and it’s likely for canti, but I’ve fitted RX1 - used single speed. Bottom bracket threads are looking good, and it’s fitted with good condition axle adjuster thingy’s for setting the amount of chain slack.
Paintwork is original, but looks a bit knackered, however there are no dents, and it does have horizontal drop outs for fixed or single speed. (126mm)
It’s made from 653 Reynolds with 653 forks, and I’ve included the following parts to get you started;
Pair of older 105 hubbed wheels, with Matrix rims (made in USA), and 23c Hutchinson Excel Kevlar original tires.
27.2 Kalin seatpost.
Nitto silver B260AA with Genetic 90mm stem, wrap tape, plus non matching near paired short arm levers (almost the same).
Tektro RX1 brakes.
Ritchey Logic 1” headset.
My reason for sale is simple, ran out of space after buying yet another bike, which this partly funds in selling. I have ridden it and it’s such a nice smooth ride built, I feel a bit sad letting it go, but it’s a definite decision.
Apologies for photo being an indoor, but it’s dull as out - raining, typical Boxing Day!
I’d like to see £80 for this please, collected from NW London.
