Thanks apparently this is what the frame was like when built in 1988:
“ ok, I have found the worksheet for 8815, it looks like the frame has been modified over the years, which is quite normal for owners who keep the frames for along period of time.
We supplied the frame in early 1988.
The original specification would have been as follows:
Cantilever brakes
27 x 1 ¼" wheels
Reynolds 531ST tubing
Campag long dropouts with spacing for 6 speed
Original colour was Golden Yellow with red lug lining.
The cantilever bosses must have been removed at some point, maybe when the wheel size changed to 700c. The front and rear dropouts have also been changed to the stainless steel versions.”
