NOW SOLD
I`m selling my commuting/rat bike.
Its a spare parts special but would make the basis of a nice project.
The frame is Reynolds 531ST butted main tubes with cut out lugs and Campag drop outs,126mm o.l.d. spacing and has Reynolds 531 forks. It was originally badged a Technisport (sold via Hatfield cycles in around 1990).Intended as a fast training frame,it has steepish geometry,no mudguard eyes and no downtube bosses so makes an ideal conversion to fixed.
Rides really sweetly,but unfortunately is just too big for me.
Dimensions are 60cm c-t,with 57cm tt and 19.5cm head tube.
Frame is straight but paintwork is tatty.
Good bits include a rare Campag Olympus rear mech,Campag aero seatpost.
Some new bits,including Shimano r400 brake levers,SRAM chain,UN54 bb and 7 speed cassette.
Original Shimano 600 cranks with good 50/39 TA rings though non driveside pedal is stuck in crank arm due to the pedal bolt having rounded out.
Alhonga dual pivot brakes,wheels are 700c generic hubs with Alex rims.
3T bars and stem with quill adaptor.
Ideally would like to sell as complete bike for £130.
Live in Beds/Herts but work in and around Central London so can arrange collection/delivery to either.
May consider splitting for parts if no takers for complete bike.
