Some surface rust that I've tried to illustrate in the pictures here - but not structural (and I reckon looks pretty cool!)

How short are those dropouts!

Nice frame though, I think.

Admittedly they aren't as long as track ends are usually - but they have enough room for adjustment!

Well I think so yes, but then I'm trying to sell it so I'm probably biased. ;)

Those dropouts are odd!

What's the point in horizontal dropouts that long? Surely you get the worst of both worlds.

I think it's the option to run fixed or geared for time trialing (back when people used to do fixed TTs)

That's what I reckoned - they are a bit challenged in the length department - but you could always file them down a bit... it was never a problem for me though I always had enough!

Still - It's a unique and fun frame though and pretty bloody light!

are we all giving our lo pros pet names now?

hell yeah
mine's called " silencio : the silent assasin " of rapha lycra clad roadies every where

are we all giving our lo pros pet names now?

His original name was "Monster" cause he's well... a bit fugly and then "Lesley". But the girls all laughed at him so I shortened it...

Actually the decals originally said "MYCYCLES" but my lady took offense to the ugly lettering and decided it would be better with the "MYCYC..." removed. Incidentally MyCycles is the name of a shop up in Worcester somewhere - so I guess the guy or gal who rode this in competition was sponsored by them... bit of heritage there. :)

like it!

Les. That beats Dave or Brian or Chas in my eyes.

Bump. Turn it Italian. Les'rello.

Or Dutch? Le'zelle.

out of interest did you buy this off gumtree as a complete bike a few years back - it rings a bell of one i narrowly missed out on - same frame with mycycles decals

dropODD, never seen..

I did - just over a year back - it has done me proud but it's time to move on! You want to take it this time? ;)

All good for lo pros at the moment - already got my own "Pauly" and "Donald"

Noooooooo... not LES!

Don't do it Harry!

this is lovely in the flesh by the way - and you get quite a normal riding position from it, even if it does look crazy in the photo..

a picture with wheels would be useful.

ps - what's going on with your saddle/brake lever position here Baz? Put some pics up of Les looking nice with the Miche seatpost and Concor etc!

I wish I'd taken some now dan! People can get an idea from the other pics though.

The drop-outs are converted no? Cut off perhaps?

I am partial to offers if anyone wants to throw me a bone?

Price Drop!
