I've been meaning to do something with this, but it's never going to happen, plus it's too small for me.
I don't know much about the frame, it's a fairly English looking frame though, and i'd hazard a guess at the tubing being 531. Clearances are quite nice, and is drilled for a front brake only. The paint kinda looks ok in the pics, but it's a rattlecan job which doesn't look too hot up close, but i guess it does the job to some extent?!
Seat tube is 54.5 c-t, top tube is 54.5 c-c.
The wheels are Maillard hubs laced to some unknown 700c sprint rims. The tubs are old, but still hold air...pumped them up over a week ago and they're still up!
Bars and stem are cinelli; a 1A stem and Champione Del Mondo 42cm bars. Seatpost is a basic fluted 27.2 jobby, with a tatty white Rolls saddle.
Cranks are Sugino track 165mm. Not too sure of the model, but they're 151bcd, which i guess makes them fairly old if Campag's 151 cranks were pre 1967?! Chainring is Campag, but somehow it's perished quite badly, i've tried to show this in one of the pics. It probably could be ridden on, but i wouldn't recommend it. Looks like Hilary Stone has a bunch of compatible chainrings though for not a lot of money.
Also has some SR campag-style pedals, which seem used but still in ok condition.
This could be a really nice bike, but obviously needs a bit of work here and there.
**£300 ono.
