  • classic freddie grubb semi lightweight road bike for sale PRICEDROP £200

    Unsure of exact date but its pre-1964 given its London SE20 'Racing Cyclist' head badge.
    the paintjob is original as well as all the components,
    it features 16-inch handlebars mounted on a GB stem, GB-Sport' side-pull contracting brakes,
    and post-1958 Resilion 'red star' five-speed gearing, 28-inch wheels, Brooks leather saddle and Bluemel's white plastic mudguards.

    the bike hasnt been serviced will need some tlc but is expected for a bike of this age with original parts

    pick up is in london






  • Dibs. PM coming.

  • Undibs.

    Btw, I think that gear mech is incorrectly set up. The chain ought to wrap around the jockey wheels the other way round. See the catalogue image here: http://www.classiclightweights.co.uk/resilioncrimsonstar.html

  • It is set up like that, the chain's just too short. I don't think it'd really be possible to do it the other way.
    I might be wrong.

  • Erm... new chain?

  • Ah, yes. Maybe it's because it's on the biggest cog.

  • It is. Almost excusable on a double ring up front but no excuse on a set up like this.
    For £300 you'd at least hope for a long enough chain.

  • Can't post on retrobike at the same time as well. http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=226175
