Currently winging it's way to me is this unknown Reynolds 501 tubed red pug. It was cunningly labeled as "Peugeot Vitesses". Seller obviously not versed in French. It's currently sporting Cinelli stem and Cinelli criterium bars, Sachs Huret Rival rear mech, Mavic Module E 700c rims, Nervar cranks, simplex shifters, weinmann brakes, 105 levers.
Can't for the life of me match the spec and frame decal colours to anything from the catalogues. Red frame with black decal never seems to occur. Always white decals. It's possible parts have been upgraded along the way. I'm not going to argue to cinelli bits hanging off of it.
Plans are to remove the mechs, rear brake, gear and brake levers and install a dirty harry on the bar tops. I've a planet-x AL30 black fixed/fixed wheelset and a 16t cog screwed on ready to go. Some fizik arione copy by planet X and some black matching bar tape. Can't wait to take delivery tomorrow and get it built up.
Any idea whether I'll get a good chain line on that chainset? Presume the wheelset is 42mm as it's a 120mm track wheelset.
