Built a true "parts bin" road bike with a frame that was hanging around work.
Frame is a 1990s lee cooper, build for LA CYCLES way back when. Bb is stamped 1990.
Size : 60 ST 58 TT. Reynolds 531.
Nothing matches apart from the wheels and tyres - 105 hubs on open pros.
It has such beautiful forks but they will only fit 32 without guards and 28 with guards. The rear however has plenty of space for 32 with guards, maybe more if the tyre / rim combo is right.
Campag 10 speed shifters with 9 speed ultegra on 8 speed cassette, Ronnie style.
Plenty of bdhu and mafac centre pull brakes.
42 / 24 chainrings - 11 / 28 cassette.
True "French fit"
And weighs less than 10kg.
Guards incoming.
