Got this sometime in 2011, person had left in the bike shed where I worked at the time and was in a right state.

Stripped the bike down and it went to a local powder coaters near me, it’s in a standard RAL colour.

I then built this up and used it as a single speed mincer but hardly ever used maybe about 10 times since 2012.

Have recently thought about turning it into a road bike with gears etc but just picked up a Felt bike which I had thought about stripping to use the group set on this, but really now can’t be arsed and I am just using the Felt.

Here it is

Reynolds 525 triathlon frame powder coated blue from around the 1990s, seemed to have been built by a shop in Stowmarket which no longer around.
Was able to source the correct stickers too
Triathlon frame has a slightly wider rear OLD
Has a brand new shimano bb 24mm axle
Chrome headset with threaded fork
Ti bottle cage

Top tube c - c 56cm
Bb to st 58.5cm

I did still have the wheels and some other parts etc

Just interested to know about why a tri frame would have a wider OLD?

Maybe I misread it somewhere but it’s 126mm, where I thought they should be 125mm

Also .1mm thinner seat and chain stays

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot
