It has to be done, so here it is, one of the most famous lo-pro ever (been even featured in bikesnobnyc.blogspot), a true HHSB.
The frame is Lo-pro TT funny bike, fillet brazed with Columbus SL tubing, curvy seat tube and top tube goodness, no many lo-pro were made with this tubing, made by Aende (Pongo Braithwaite was the frame builder) based in Mansfield until the 90s.
All the decals were removed from the previous owner.
Dimensions:
seat tube (in straigh line) 56cm CtC
top tube (in straigh line) 57cm CtC
I'm just 6ft and fit me OK
It has vertical dropsouts, but at the moment has a 48/18 magic ratio and has never give any problems.
Also, it has all the braze-ons, in case you want to put the gears back
yes, it is drilled for brakes front and rear
Selling only frame and forks
The Zipp 650c front wheel, is a Zipp 500 rim with Hope Ti hub lace with DT Swiss bladed spokes, radial laced. The decals has also been removed. this wheel is the bee's knees, looks the business
It is a clincher, I'm sure you haven't seen many like this.
Michelin Iron Man TT tyre in red/black and inner tube included. 650x23c
It has breaking surface.
18 spokes
The Dura Ace 650c front wheel, model WH-7700, factory wheel. One of the most beutiful wheels ever made imho
Clincher and more rare than hen's teeth
New Continetal Grand Prix 3000 tyre and inner tube included. 650x20c
It has breaking surface.
Has an emerald green shine
16 spokes
if you wnat you can read some reviews here, and a test in lateral stiffness here
Prices, for the frame in the region of £280, and for the wheels around £150 each, but the best offer will get it.
If you fancy the whole bike, let me know and we can speak about it, but not too sure if I wnat to get rid of the back wheel just yet.
I will try to post new pictures soon, this is one with and old set up
