Lo pro frame, believed to be French but not sure. I bought this on the off chance it would fit me really well; it doesn't so I need to move it on. However it's quite an interesting frame. The original owner said he bought it from new and rode less than 50 miles on it before storing it at his mother's.. the usual kind of patter, only judging by its condition i think it's probably true. The paint is pretty much as new condition, in a really nice pearlescent ivory white.
The measurements are as follows:
Seat Tube C-T: 56cm
Top Tube C-C: 54cm
Rear Spacing: 126mm
Seat Post diameter: 26.2mm
700c rear; 650c front
Going off my own sizing I think the frame would be perfect for someone in the 5'8'' to 5'10'' range, and maybe still good an inch either side of that.
The dropouts are semi-vertical, which means there's a small amount of play to be had so you can perfect your chain tension once you've sorted out a suitable gearing.
Because it's unbadged, I've no idea of the framebuilder or indeed the tubing, though built up it's certainly not heavy.
The sale is for frame and forks, headset, bottom bracket and seat post. As far as I have ridden it the headset and bb are fine and ready to use; again, I don't know the makes, I'd guess Sakae or something like that. The seat post is Sakae and it's got a couple of marks but is also in fine working order.
I've included a photo where I've built it up a bit just to give an idea of the clearances and geometery - I think it's really nice, not crazy aggressive, not too slack either. It makes for a nice unusual frame with a comfortable geometery.
I'm looking for £150 and London collection. Priority will go to someone ready with the cash, sorry but I've been getting let down by a few people asking me to hold stuff then bailing later. If no-one buys for London pickup I'll consider posting but I would prefer not to. Anyway it's a very clean, great-looking lo pro frame at what I reckon's a pretty good price.
pms to talk bidness please.
